WTF: This Article Is Not About Transformers!

I refuse to make this article about Transformers. I refuse to talk about how awful of an actor Megan Fox is, who cannot even effectively scream “Saaaaaaam!” I refuse to espouse on the ridiculous plot. I refuse to complain about seeing John Turturro’s hairy buttcheeks in my face, 20 feet high.

New Trailer for Steve Martin’s ‘Pink Panther 2′ Is Exactly What You’d Expect

What is there to say really? Steve Martin has dueling personalities. One is a comedic genius responsible for films like Roxanne and L.A. Story, and the other has recognized the sizeable cash-cow that is the family film market.

Ultimately, the only way a sane person could enjoy this movie is if they deliberately give themselves lead poisoning over the course of years, slowly go insane and then catch it on DVD.

The 7 Most Ill-Advised Comedic Characters

As I watched Mike Myers embarrass himself in The Love Guru, I thought to myself “What was he thinking?” Granted, this was probably an ego project and Myers didn’t necessarily have me and my comedic sensibilities in mind when he wanted to get this flick made. But it brings up a valid question.
