Boston, MA - Everyone's favorite hype artist, Goy McGonagall, is at it again! Apparantly G.M. has learned a lot by skrewing people over with his horrible comedies, in the past, and is now trying to convince the world that they should pay for his new brand of backyard horror crap. Why is this film the scary one, you ask? BECAUSE IT IS ABOUT A YOUNG GUY IN AN OLD MASK! Appropriately titled "Old Guy," the story is apparently retarded.

Rumor Mill: Kids Says the Retardest Things. –
March 10, 2004 - cm
My cousin knows a guy who is a friend of this guy working at this movie company I can’t tell you the name of because that’ll get the dude in trouble but anyway, supposely he heard that the hit TV show "Kids Say the Darndest Things" is being adapted into a feature movie! Now get this, instead of the normal kids, this movie will have bunch of retarded kids. So the basic concept is, these new hot retards will read from a Safeway coupon book and make retarded comments and the audience would laugh at them. Dude it’s like the totally hardcore version that the original show didn’t have the balls to put on the network television because it was too risqué. So anyway, it will be like a cross between "Cheaper by the Dozen" and "Sling Blade." Hooray for comedy! Just remember you heard it here first!

Andy was well aware of the media hype, but was prepared to watch this latest Jesus opus with an open mind. "Yeah many people said it’s too violent and too bloody. But you know, I’m prepared for all that. Because it’s like... it’s the Jesus, so it can’t go wrong you know. What I’m trying to say is, there is nothing that reaffirms and celebrates Christian values more than watching Jesus being tortured to death on the big screen with all that Digital Surround Sound."

Area Filmmaker Enjoyed the Movie "Human Nature" -
March 05, 2004 - cm
BALTIMORE, MD - "What a stunning, wickedly funny gem of a movie. If it was an ice cream, it would have been the almond mocha with a tinge of frosting, and yellow sprinkles, oh yes definitely yellow sprinkles." said Ron Petersen, the local filmmaker currently working on his third feature-length movie - Black Ink - a thriller about a murderous Hewlett Packard inkjet printer. "I haven't laughed this hard since Sloviach Mosavistein, the ex-council member of the Yugoslavia's house judiciary committee died of liver failure. That alcoholic, womanizing bastard got exactly what he deserved, exactly." Petersen also claims to have watched and enjoyed most of the Michel Gondry's music videos. Petersen also added, "Hey I don't mean to name drop, but my neighbor's cousin knows Timothy Steinbeck, who worked as a grip on the movie Die Hard: With a Vengeance."
