Gotta Love REALLY Harsh Movie Critics

M. Night Shalamayan's new movie "Lady in the Water" is a definite target for the critics, since one of the villains of the piece is in fact a movie critic. But you still have to love this review by the critic who is filling in for Roger Ebert, for its unabashed scalding of the director and the film.

Were I the late Joseph Campbell, who devoted his life to exploring how myths are not arbitrary shaggy dog stories but speak to the hunger for meaning deep within our species, I would will my spirit to return from the Land of the Dead, raise my hollowed body from my grave, and pelt this movie with rotten lotuses.

I have to say, when a movie is generating negative reviews *THIS* entertaining, it does make me want to eventually see the film. But I think I'll hold off to DVD for this one.
