*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.

[Edit: It makes The Core seem well-researched.]

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.

Now I'm gonna have that image stuck in my head all day!

ADDED: Heddy Lamarr's speechifying, not you falling off a chair.
