I don't go to movies
except when I take my 5 year old son
nonetheless I feel sufficiently informed
to nominate
as the most awful movie
all the movies made in Hollywood
during the past 10 (perhaps 20) years
because they all are but scenes
in one neverending awful movie.

The last movie I attended
not under duress
was "Good Will Hunting"
which got good reviews
and was recommended by a friend
and supposedly was about a prodigy mathematician
at MIT.

I made the mistake of taking my mother.

The film really was
about the use of unbelievably foul and vile language
from start to finish.

I cowered in my seat with embarrassment.

(Furthermore it was filmed not at MIT
but the University of Toronto
which bears no resemblance
whatsoever
to my alma mater)

I vowed then
never to attend a movie
ever again.

Unfortunately
having a 5 year old makes the vow impossible.

However children's movies basically are
at the same intellectual level
as 'adult' movies
(perhaps even slightly higher
and certainly more amusing).

Was that a poem or are you having formatting issues? :-)
