I'll pass.

Looks like a mockery of those who have sex after their married and using crudeness to get him to indulge.

Looks like trash to me.

That fat leftist toad Ebert is the perfect reviewer for my movie tastes. If he loves the movie, I know that I'm going to hate it. If it's a foreign film, and someone pukes in French, Ebert has an orgasm over it.

Actually, the guy in the movie does wait until after he gets married.

That's not true. He hates plenty of movies. He gave 1.5 stars to The Usual Suspects.

At least he gave "No stars" to the most recent Deuce Bigelow movie.

Give him time, he'll eventually sink low enough to give that kind of dreck a couple of stars.

The guy's friends should have given him two grand and a trip to Navada.

Okay, I over generalized. He likes almost everything.

Of the pair, Syskel was the one to watch. Ebert and [insert name here] has sucked since Syskel died.

If Ebert like something, I generally hate it...

"Actually, the guy in the movie does wait until after he gets married."

But of course!

That's the idea ... don't wait for anything and have a good time and the cruder the better.

I think you misread that person's post. The character does wait.

That's not true. He hates plenty of movies. He gave 1.5 stars to The Usual Suspects.

But he gave 2.5 stars to Gigli. He thought Lopez and Affleck were "sweet and appealing."

I have been sell-a-butt since becoming a widower four years ago. So far I have had difficulty finding takers. It seems like a lifetime.

Roger wouldn't have gotten laid or married if it hadn't been for his partnership with Russ Meyer.

I have not heard of a single encounter that Russ didn't have hand in.

His review of Deuce II was primarily about a p!$$ing contest of egos between the star and a Hollywood guy (critic?). Rog sided with the writer.

This from a critic who counts the menage a tois in Summer Lovers among his 10 guilty pleasure films.
