Either way, this is the biggest fall from grace since Ernest Scared Stupid. (You talk about a career killer. One minute, every kid in 4th grade was talking about Ernest Goes to Jail. After Ernest Scared Stupid, no one dared breathe his name or pretend they had ever liked him...except Mom and Dad call who continued to check out every new straight-to-DVD Ernest movie including Ernest Rides Again ("Hey kids, this one has to be great, he's riding on Mon's Meg!"), Slam-Dunk Ernest, Ernest Goes to School, and I believe there really was an Ernest Joins the Army. I might be wrong about that one. We even rented the movie he was in BEFORE he was Ernest, yes the legendary Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam. I'm not even kidding. It might be the worst movie ever made. Either that or Buckaroo Bonzai or the Jerry Lewis movie where he talked to the clown puppets. I mean, we watched some BAD movies. I'm convinced we're still the only people who have checked those movies out from the Orem Public Library.)

oh I'm laughing out loud. And we did bring home some WE-IRD movies.
So wait, did Killers come out with something new that I'm missing post-Sawdust?
It's that bad?
In the neverending search for good, clean fun for our family movie nights (don't tell me you didn't LOVE those, with all the chips and dip and soda pop set up on preschool tables in front of the couch), we experimented with a lot of unheralded, unsung G and PG videos. We may have missed on a couple (Doug's list in the blog, however, is essentially fictive) but we also discovered some that became family favorites, i.e. Clockwise, The Wrong Box, Start the Revolution without Me, etc. that no one else has even heard of! Your childhood was interesting enough without having to exaggerate or distort the truth. And that's that!
All I know is, your Aunt Ann positively loves Dumb and Dumber. Not an Earnest movie, I know. Too "in poor taste" to be Earnest. But if you want to see the ol' girl laugh until she cries, pop in a little D and D.
Even I can't defend the Killers' latest "effort." I feel betrayed, really.
