Nooooo, Stick It was soooo awful (and I'm usually a fan of tacky movies)!! I can't believe you'd list that as one of your favorite movies of the year!

[deviousgeke]

Your objection is overruled. That movie is ridiculous and it knows it, so I laugh my ass off every time.

Verdict: "Too much rock for one hand!" \00/

[oy_angelina]

Crap. I totally forgot about Veronica Mars.

That's my unofficial 4th nom then
