It is quite possible for the vulgar to be funny, but to succeed, it must rise to a certain genius.
Roger Ebert
Image
Dirty Love wasn't written and directed, it was committed. Here is a film so pitiful, it doesn't rise to the level of badness. It is hopelessly incompetent... I am not certain that anyone involved has ever seen a movie, or knows what one is.

One of the gifts one movie lover can give another is the title of a wonderful film they have not yet discovered
Roger Ebert
Image
There must be a better reason to have a baby than to provide a plot point in a rom-com. Don't you think?

Not everyone needs to be slammed into a category and locked there.
Roger Ebert
Image
Mad Dog Time is the first movie I have seen that does not improve on the sight of a blank screen viewed for the same length of time. Oh, I've seen bad movies before. But they usually made me care about how bad they were. Watching Mad Dog Time is like waiting for the bus in a city where you're not sure they have a bus line.

Since any reasonable person would choose a Mac over a PC, Apple's market share provides us with an accurate reading of the percentage of reasonable people in our society.
Roger Ebert
Image
It amazes me that filmmakers will still film, and audiences will still watch, relationships so bankrupt of human feeling that the characters could be reading dialogue written by a computer.
Roger Ebert
Image
It's rare to find a film that goes for broke and says, 'To hell with the consequences.'
Roger Ebert

Film theory has nothing to do with film.

We are the playthings of the gods.

I am proudly a liberal. I am also patriotic, reasonable, pro-American, and stand for family values.
