Film Critic Quote of the Week

Noted sports blogger Big Daddy Drew, making fun of "Blindness":

Children Of Men. Between this and the new movie “Blindness,” where everyone on Earth goes blind, I have discovered the hottest new trend in semi-independent filmmaking: inexplicable worldwide afflictions. The possibilities are endless. I have five such scripts now in development. Here now are the titles of each film, followed by the affliction they depict.

Hear No Evil (everyone goes deaf)
Our Left Feet (everyone loses a left foot)
The Palin Effect (everyone loses 72 IQ points and starts winking uncontrollably)
Smugged In (everyone suddenly has the same voice as Joe Buck)
Hard Sharks (every man gets a permanent erection)

You’re welcome, Hollywood. I want eight points off the back end.

I think the Joe Buck version would be the most horrifying. Then again, Buck is probably more qualified for the vice presidency than Palin.
