Not the movie blurbs on the back of the box, the quick little description you get with the cable box info button. That little description that sits next to the movie in the t.v. guide.
It is through the artistic and creative use of langauge that they try to capture your imagination, and get you to watch their movie. There must be a team of people somwhere who's job it is tho write these quick little snippets. Using few well timed and descriptive words to sum up a two hour movie in one quick sentence.
So I'm surfing through with the remote and I see a movie and I click info, and I get one of the worst blurbs I've ever had the sad duty of reading. This may very well be the worst movie blurb I have ever seen. My eyes could hardly take the shock when I went back for a doubletake. At first I thought I was just tired and had misread the thing, but there it was just sitting there on the screen in the most lame way possible. The most creative and enticing way they could think of describing this movie.
Read this only at your own peril:
"Ex-college friends get together in a big house after a funeral to play old records and talk."
Someone must have been paid to write this. I can only shudder when my mind tries to encompass that fact that this is the most flattering way they could describe this movie. If I was the producer or director of this movie, I'd be tempted to sue these dolts. Either that or put myself out of my misery when I came to the conclusion that this really was the best way to describe it.

Watch our hero b*tch about Adrien Brody's acting while breaking apart Oreos and only eating the creamy side.
