I thought it was going to end with your untimely demise via eating 20-year old boxes of Koala Yummies?

[Review] Transformers is long. Megan Fox is gorgeous. [/Review]

I must be the only person on this planet that thinks that Megan Fox is the most overrated actress in recent memory. Her acting skills are somewhat lacking, and she's not that attractive. I just don't get the love-fest people have for her.

My favorite reviews of his are when hes really annoyed with a movie.

I have his collection "Your Movie Sucks". All the movies in this book have no more than 1 1/2 stars, and Ebert really lays into some of these movies. He can be really funny when he has just wasted 2 hours watching a piece of celluloid crap and is forced to write about it.

Seriously. His review of "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" is *priceless.* From what I hear, Rob Schneider didn't take to kindly to it either. (Although he was still classy enough to send flowers while Ebert was in the hospital--signed them "your least favorite actor" lol--si I guess we can't judge too harshly.)

This started when Schneider complained about DB:EG not being in the running for an Academy Award. Film critic Patrick Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times gave a response stating "...[that was because] nobody had the foresight to invent a category for Best Running Penis Joke Delivered by a Third-Rate Comic."

Schneider took offense to that, and took out an ad saying that Goldstein had never won any journalistic awards, namely a Pulitzer Prize. Schneider responded by saying "Maybe you didn't win a Pulitzer Prize because they haven't invented a category for Best Third-Rate, Unfunny Pompous Reporter Who's Never Been Acknowledged by His Peers."

At that point, Ebert's review of DB:EG came out, and he pointed out that Goldstein had, in fact, won some journalism awards. Ebert conceded that Goldstein may not have won a Pulitzer Prize, but "...as chance would have it, I have won the Pulitzer Prize, and so I am qualified. Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks."

It took off from there...although that was classy on Schneider's part to send him the flowers. Ebert thanked him and said that Schneider may have made a bad movie, but he wasn't a bad man.

Meanwhile, North Korea launches nuclear missiles at Japan, setting off a chain reaction of missile launches resulting in a massive global holocaust. Savatage's "This Isn't What We Meant" plays over the scene.

I love happy endings.

Thank God I'm not the only one. All my co-workers think that I'm gay or something for not thinking she's attractive...but then again, a lot of my co-workers are in the 17-19 age range.
