A Correction and Apology to All of Our Valued Readers, and Even to Our Readers That We Don't Care Two Bits About

Sirs (and various other women who might accidentally find themselves viewing this website):

We regret to inform you that, in the course of a post during the month of December, a quote was incorrectly attributed to Winston Churchill. The quote, of course, was the immortal line, "I'll be rich, I tells ya! Rich!". As even the lowest performing second-grader (and, here, we're talking about the one who sits in the back of the room, picking his nose and wiping it under the desk while quietly cursing under his breath) knows, this quote was not uttered by the great Winston Churchill, even when sober, but was instead a line from a play by the underachieving writer/philosopher/general cad Franz "Leghorn" Kafka. The correct Winston Churchill quote, and the one that directly applies to the post in question, is, obviously, "I'd rather have a bottle in fronta me than a frontal lobotomy." We regret the error and swear on our mother's good name (at least as it stood prior to her New Years Eve solicitation arrest) that incorrect information has never appeared on this blog before or since, so please quit your whining. From this point forward, we will employ at great expense seventeen unemployed newspaper fact checkers to verify the accuracy of every single word that dares to rear its ugly syllables in these hallowed pages. We have learned our lesson and will never use quotes in this blog again. Thank you for your patience and kind and loving comments either written in Russian or directing us to links that will make us devastatingly rich. (If we weren't so hopped up on free Viagra and Xanax, we would definitely take you up on these links.)

In addition, we sincerely apologize to the global community and anyone else with a shred of decency and light for all the other content on this blog, including this very post, with the exception of the words "Jennifer Connelly".

And now, in an effort to make amends for our crimes and omissions, here is a picture of a monkey riding on a donkey:


Sincerly,

Mgmnt & Friends

On the Photographic Art, A Reflection

I have received a suggestion that, in order to increase the traffic on this blog from, like, 0 to maybe, I don't know, 1, or at least 1/2, that I include in my posts some graphically pleasing images. It is suggested that to include images with the posts would enliven the page and make people stop to read the astounding reviews of films I have never seen. So, without further delay, here are some pleasing images to support my reviews. Now I'll sit back and watch the traffic roll in.



Here, for example, is a picture of a monkey riding a donkey. This picture makes me sad, as I wish the monkey was wearing a hat.



And here is a famous picture of a cheetah licking a dog while some customer service agent looks on. Is this picture a metaphor for the frustrations of a service-based economy? Is that customer-service lady waiting for a kiss from the cheetah? Does the cheetah represent big business, the customer-service lady the worker, and the dog the suspicious fuzzy face of justice? Like trigonometry, we may never understand.

And there we go. Exciting graphics shamelessly posted to drive amazing masses of traffic to this blog. I'll have to let the person who suggested it know whether- wait, what? What'd you say, honey? Hold on just a moment, faithful blog readers. Honey, what'd you say? I couldn't hear over my typing. Pictures of films? Huh? Not random? But I thought- but you said-I thought that you said...Pictures of films that I've reviewed? I don't know, I guess no one would want to see...But I thought if I put any ol' picture I found then....it...uh, it would...uh, uh...

Oh crap. Never mind. Please ignore the above pictures and stop back tomorrow for some enlightening ignorant film reviews. Sorry about that. I've had a tragic misunderstanding. Please click "Next Blog" and move along. Nothing to see here, folks. Nothing to see here.

Crap.
