Film Critic Quote of the Week

Sean Burns was one of the few critics who agreed with me about the downright creepiness of "This Is It," which he calls a "necrophiliac gravy train":

He also looks awful—spindly and emaciated with distractingly gigantic hands and feet, peering out from behind his omni-present sunglasses with that creepily immobile, nose-less death-mask face. The few times Jackson is actually heard speaking in the movie, he comes off like someone you’d hide from on the subway, unable to articulate a simple request to lower the volume on his headphones without shrieking “There’s a fist in my ear!”
It's like everyone just sort of suspended disbelief and pretended they weren't watching something totally horrifying.
