I dunno why Per hasn't mentioned it yet, but apparently he reviewed 'Manos' the Hands of Fate over at I-Mockery. The review is here: www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/manos/default.aspYup. I haven't finished reading it, but thus far it is A-OK! ;D But Per, did you really think Simply Irresistable was all that bad? I thought it was kinda sappy and simple -- like a Family Channel TV movie -- but I thought it was endearing enough to stay off of my "worst movies" list. I reserve that for films like Blood Sucking Freaks, which I assure you is worse than even 'Manos'. Oh, the MASter may have it beaten in the low production values and bad acting departments, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a more repulsive film outside the realm of porn. Anyway, maybe I'll have more to say when I finish reading the review.

Oh yeah, I was going to post a link to that piece, but I kind of forgot I guess. And yes, I think Simply Irresistible was awful. Now, I wasn't in very good shape when saw it. In fact, I was lying on a sofa next to a sick bucket when I realized my sister had rented it on VHS and decided to watch it between dozing off and retching. So that may have colored my opinion.

That was... that was... that was about eight hundred more words than I could ever be convinced, even with money, to write about Manos. But you captured it, oh, how you captured it. You got that pacing down pat.

I'm flabberghasted as to why you left out the pie eating contest, though.

That scene is only in the extended DVD edition. I only got the theatrical. That was... that was... that was about eight hundred more words than I could ever be convinced, even with money, to write about Manos. But you captured it, oh, how you captured it. You got that pacing down pat. I originally planned to do it much shorter, but it took control over me.

You know what movie really needs a full review like this, is The Money Pit.
