    *reads the OP* Wha? That can't be right.

    *reads OP again*

    Oh...

    My...

    Noodly...

    God.

    The ignorance emanating from that article is palpable. I can actually feel the shock of each wave of stupid thwapping against my body like the waters off the frigid beaches of Thicksylvania. Except the shrinkage is my IQ. I feel noticeably dumber every second I ponder this abomination of a movie.

    I read this with the voice of Harvey Korman as Hedley Lamarr in my head and I almost fell off the chair laughing.

    There are a great number of awesome actors in that movie, but alas it sucks regardless of that fact.
