"An innocuous high-concept comedy." - Gary Thomas, Philadelphia Daily News

The subject for today's post is a 100% true quote from a review for "Fat Albert". If you haven't heard of it, it's the latest Keenan Thomas laugh-fest since "Goodburger". Feeling curious I cruised over the rottentomatoes.com to check out how the movie reviewed. Natch, the movie did awful but that review stuck out due to its sheer ridiculousness. "

Ian, you ever play Doom 3?
That should get you over your phobiaphobia.
That's a real phobia, right?
Fear of fear.

Doom 3 kicked ass, though I wasn't terribly scared by it... just tense when I played it.

weren't scared? weren't scared?!! fucking fuck you weren't scared. how about them spiders and flying babies? i think i even saw you jump when you were firing your own gun in those darkened corners.

but seriously, think about 'High Concept'...what does it actually mean? i can understand 'Hillarious' and 'Innovative', but i'm a bit confused as far as 'High Concept'. i guess they just wanted to state that if you didn't think of the movie as far as it was played, but more in the sense of what they were trying to achieve one would roll on the floor and die of laughter. instead, they will be the ass, and we will fire our scoffs at them.

Nothing to fear but fear itself, eh? Well said, sir. Well said.

Oh, I've played Eternal Darkness. Not terribly scary, though very creepy. that bit with the bathtub though... that was scary.
