According to the movie’s ad. And apparently, according to me. But not really. The day I’ve dreamed about for so long, the day I see my own dumbass quote used for marketing purposes, and it’s not really about the movie. You see, I saw Mary Walsh’s Young Triffie’s Been Made Away With at the Atlantic Film Festival in September. I would have loved to review it then, but there was a review restriction, which basically means that some studio hood will come and crush your vertebrae if you write about it, so instead I wrote about Andrea Martin and Mary Walsh (I’m a huge fan) hamming it up at the Oxford–that is what I said, in a buried, quickly written Bloghorn quote was “pee-your-pants funny.” Oh how ironical, they needed that review. So now that my fake movie quote seal has been broken, I’m going to aim for more–these are up for whoever wants them: “I laughed so hard I tooted!” “It was so scary I barfed in the popcorn bag.” “I cried until my eyes were so swollen I couldn’t see, so I tripped over the feet of the tall dude beside me, tumbled and impaled myself on the end of someone’s Mexicali nacho.”
