you ever see those "enlarged prostate" drug commercials on tv? i saw one today while i was out doing my laundry and the transition into talking about the guy's prostate was a little rough. basically, the commercial said "i make miniature models for a living. my prostate is broken." in tutoring terms, my hommie's at the writing center would call that a "gap in the flow of your argument" because one sentence does not directly lead in to the next sentence.
i'm not mad at the person who wrote that commercial. chances are that he had a shitty english teacher when he was in high school who didn't teach him the proper way to form an argument. that's nothing to be ashamed of. i dealt with it on a daily basis in college as a writing tutor.
however, i am mad at whoever wrote the movie "the marine". i woke up this morning and watched most of it on hbo. first thing that went through my mind was why the fuck robert patrick would take that gig. he was t-1000 for fuck's sake. in order to turn a buck, he had to suck vince mcmahon's cock? he had some of the worst dialogue i've ever heard. i'd much rather listen to two drunk 14yo girls fighting over which one tommy johnson likes better, because at least you can slap them in the face and they'll shut the fuck up (it's a joke, calm down). can't do that watching a movie.
one obsenely horrible example of bad writing in that movie was one of the bad guys was talking about a camp counselor named "johnny whiplash" who molested him. keep in mind, the movie is pg-13 and that dialogue was meant to be some kind of comedy spot. ladies and gentlemen, if you have ever heard something so ridiculously stupid in tv or film that makes your brain fart inside your skull and snort out your nose, keep in mind: at some point, someone wrote it down and honestly thought it was a good idea. the most blatant example of this is any show on MTV. if questioning bad ideas on MTV were a drinking game, we'd all need donor livers about one hour into the game. wouldn't be too difficult, our original livers would eventually be puked up along with yesterday's porkchops.
i think wwe produced "the marine" because they were worried that they'd lose money on john cena's wrestling skills at some point, so they wanted a back up plan testing out his acting skills. lotsa good that did. there's no difference between cena's character in the wresting ring and in the movie. none. why pay $10 to see it in theaters? put that money to good use and buy a blowjob from a tranny hooker.
giants lost. oh well, they were due sometime. happy birthday, tricia.
