Read it and Weep

Dan Brown has scoured the earth (and the Internet) looking for symbols with which to create his puzzle. Yet his product is mostly just SIMPLE.

The only puzzle our boys need to solve is why do people like this crap?

Without giving you the whole song and dance, here are the main problems with Disney’s High School Musical: feeble plot, poor production quality, terrible acting, and a creepy, cult-like feel to the characters and situations. Still, it is without question the most enjoyable movie we’ve watched so far.

There isn’t much good to say about this movie, but it does contain this scene:

It feels like each book we read is dumber than the one before it, but maybe that’s just because we don’t remember pain as well as we feel it.

Our boys take down this classic of the Chick-Lit genre, more accurately titled “Inane Ramblings of a Shopaholic.” Will they survive, or will they rush to get a refund on this purchase?

Is it better than the book? It’s definitely not worse. But can the screenwriters solve the myriad plot and character problems? More importantly, would it be worse to watch old people die or screw? All this and more in today’s episode.

Could we possibly have hated Twilight as much as this? Since Nicholas Sparks has killed all our brain cells, there’s nothing left to do but throw our defeated minds into the gutter and leave them there.

Our boys sit down with The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks and try their hardest not to fall asleep. From the stupid folksy wisdom to grandpa’s painfully slow reading to major plot problems, they can only hope to someday get Alzheimer’s and forget they ever read this terrible book.

After finally finishing Twilight (the book), our heroes sit down with their respective girlfriends and watch Twilight (the movie). Although they hate it, they do find a surprising number of non-sarcastic, nice things to say about it.
