Roger Ebert speaks for the masses

I was catching up on some Ebert & Roeper shows via their podcast… A couple weeks ago, they reviewed Into the Blue. Richard Roeper gave it a thumbs down for all the expected reasons: ridiculous plot, mindless action scenes, etc. Ebert, on the other hand, gave it a thumbs up, to Roeper’s astonishment. He began his justification of his recommendation thusly (I’m paraphrasing here):

“Jessica Alba is a pretty girl. She’s pretty in this movie. So that’s a thumbs up.”

Can’t argue with that, Roger Ebert. Of course, he tried to give other reasons for liking the movie, but it was altogether unconvincing. I propose that Ebert & Roeper introduce a “thumb down, penis up” rating for just this purpose.

iiiiiiii.....

I’ve going to have this stuck in my head for at least 3 days.

Fuckiiiiiiin Iiiiiiinternet…

Disturbing classic rock sexual innuendo lyrics of the day

The song: “Squeeze Box”
The artist: The Who

Ahem…

• “Mama’s got a squeeze box / She wears on her chest / And when Daddy comes home / He never gets no rest”
• “Mama’s got a squeeze box / Daddy never sleeps at night”
• “She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out”
• “She goes, squeeze me, come on and squeeze me”

And, once again:

• “Mama’s got a squeeze box / Daddy never sleeps at night”

Yes, I know it’s an accordian, but still… ew.
