Film Critic Quote of the Day

Here's A.O. Scott in the New York Times, on the abominable "City Slickers" ripoff "Wild Hogs":

"The main thing about these guys — the main source of the movie’s fumbling attempts at humor — is that they’re not gay. Really. Seriously. No way. They may worry about people thinking that they’re gay, and they may do things that might make people think that they’re gay — dance, touch one another, take off their clothes, express emotion — but they’re absolutely 100 percent not gay. No no no no no no. No sir, I mean, no ma’am. That’s what makes it funny, see."
I too noticed that the entire first half of this horrible, witless movie consisted entirely of sophomoric gay jokes, as though the screenwriters realized nothing was working and kept returning to that.
