Required Reading: Roger Ebert Double Trouble

Two articles from famed movie critic Roger Ebert that are well worth your time. Especially if you’re a fan of terrible movies or happen to be a dog.

#1: In the meadow, we can pan a snowman

A collection of some of Ebert’s best zingers for terrible, terrible movies.  If you’re the type of person who loves watching Nic Cage in a bear suit or Kevin Costner save the postal service then you’re in the right place.

A sampling:

This film obtained a PG-13 rating, depressing evidence of how comfortable with vulgarity American teenagers are presumed to be. Apparently you can drink shit just as long as you don’t say it. — “Austin Powers II”

“Charlie’s Angels’ is eye candy for the blind.”

All I want for Christmas is to never see “All I Want for Christmas” again.

#2: This is a dog

A thoughtful look at how dogs view themselves and what it really means to be human.

“Standards in dog shows evolve over a period of time based on what previous winners have looked like and what each era of judges seems to be favoring. So it is in the Human Show.”
