A friend of mine brought that to show me because it was her favorite movie and one of my friends and I ended up mocking it (in front of her) because it was so bad. Wow, I'm not usually that rude. That's a bad memory. But, god, that movie is awful. "It was a good death." I beg to disagree - mauled by a bear sounds like a fucking awful death to me.Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10252114894311470243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8602153461120930259.post-20864804330136234662008-05-01T07:03:00.000-07:002008-05-01T07:03:00.000-07:00Shauna - the more I read by Jodi Picoult, the less...Shauna - the more I read by Jodi Picoult, the less comfortable I am saying, "I really like Jodi Picoult." She likes to pull the "twist ending", which occasionally is the bullshit cop-out ending like "My Sister's Keeper". Which is bad, because my husband believes I like Jodi Picoult and occasionally buys me books by Jodi Picoult. Which I then feel guilty if I hate, because my husband never buys me books, and he's so proud of himself that he's picked up an author name that I like. Damn that Jodi Picoult. Why can't she just be a good author that I can love?Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10252114894311470243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8602153461120930259.post-88000670417409198362008-05-01T06:59:00.000-07:002008-05-01T06:59:00.000-07:00Thanks Jess!
