Don't Watch This Movie, I Guess ...
...But go to Rotten Tomatoes.com and read the blurbs for The Covenant! It's currently rated at an amazingly meager 03% positive reviews (beaten, this year, only by Zoom, which holds the record at zero). Here are some of my favorite quotes:
"Essentially, Covenant is about young, wet, 'CW' ready underwear models running around hurling 'magical' gelatin blobs at each other while they compete for screen time with their own abs."
"This sort of thing might work as a desperation rental -- like if you've been injected with poison and must keep watching incredibly lame movies or die ..."
and, my favorite:
"Movies like this are why we have eyelids."
I'm planning to write another chapter of the long dormant By Dick! this weekend, which will put me only two or three chapters away from a basically finished (albeit very rough) draft. Wish me luck! I'm hoping to have the whole thing done before National Novel Writing Month.

And yet, "The Covenant" has already made more than "Wordplay" (95% Rotten Tomatoes).
Where is the justice?
Expecting justice from the box office is, I fear, like expecting justice from the mob. That's why we're supposed to choose our judges more carefully than our Presidents.
By the way, "The Covenant" dropped to 2% when I wasn't looking. You're right---you all deserved a lot more money.
