"But Aquaman, you can't marry a woman without gills...you're from two different worlds!"

Over on Film Threat, where - as some of you may have heard - I write reviews, the annual Summer of Stink feature is up. It's a list of the 15 crappiest movies of the summer of 2005, and while the byline reads "The Film Threat Staff," the truth is that the article consists entirely of excerpts from those films' reviews. No big deal, except for the utterly depressing fact that 12 of those 15 were reviewed by yours truly.

This is where I'd normally offer some pithy observation on the decline of American cinema and my small part in it, But I'm too busy contemplating the hours I'll never get back from sitting through Supercross and the Dukes of Hazzard.

Oh, did I mention my review of The Man is up?

So does this make The Man even worse than New York Minute? Unpossible!

And I can't believe that Jackson's role in Loaded Weapon isn't getting more love in the poll.

Shouldn't honorable mention go to the movie "Red Eye"? I was very disappointed about it.

I was more forgiving in those days. Plus, it had Andy Richter in it.

Ya know, the fact that half the stinky films on the list are remakes should give Hollywood pause. Yeah, right. Oh and, I know I'll get creamed for this but, I still think War of the Worlds was a messy disappointment. I'll take the 1950's version anyday.

"The Island" is mentioned without acknowledging its obvious inspiration, "Parts: The Clonus Horror"? Oh, and "Must Love Dogs" without mentioning Senator Santorum, who warned us about all this prevert stuff?

I had noticed that 12 of the 15 Crappiest films were reviewed by you. Should I feel a welling of pride because my boy got all the "ink" in this piece, or should there be a mixture of anger, resentment and pity because the bastards keep giving my little guy the freaking loser flicks to review?

It's like a Pete VH greatest hits album.

I have to ask. Does Samuel Jackson have IBS? I mean, the guy's always angry so he must suffer from some horrendously painful gastrointestinal disorder by now! Someone needs to tell Eugene Levy his dumb schmuck naif routine was never funny.

Thereth nothing quite like a pithy obthervation.
