The Useless Critic 2.0

IS HE GOING TO LOSE HIS ARM? NEVERMIND... This looked so, so, so weird . I mean- there aren't enough words to describe how weird the concept is! You can tell the writers were on some kind of chemical substance and were like "oh my god! this is such a good idea! seriously! SNORT- now where are my pop tarts at!" then the writers passed out and they were in Mexico. but all my friends that saw it had nothing but positive, glowing things to say! what the hell! so I will tell you what I thought of what is bound to be 2010's greatest accomplishment in cinema, : it was one of the most genuinely entertaining films I have ever seen in the theater.
