Remember those old timey newspaper cartoons, "What's wrong with this picture"? They'd present a picture and you'd have find all the errors.
With that in mind, I present the trailer for the upcoming chick-flick-o-rama "Because I Said So." If you dare watching it, you'll realize why a movie like this ticks me off for about 424 reasons. The least of which is that, I'm guessing, upwards of $30 million U.S. greenbacks were burned to make this "delightful" romp.
So if you dare to watch, try counting how many cliches, gaffes and outright awfulness you can find.
I'll get you started -- No. 77 a guy playing an electric bass.
What's maddening about this is that you've essentially seen the movie (not that I'd want to anyway) by watching the clip.
Also, are there jokes in there? Really?
The only time I found myself chuckling is when I thought of the South Park Season 10 finale -- "Stanley's Cup" -- and imitated the 'narrator's' voice in my head.
This February, Mandy Moore and Diane Keaton are going professional.
It's movies like these why Maynard James Keenan and Tool wrote a song like "Ænema."

One little soccer note for this morning.
DC United coach Peter Nowack told the Guardian newspaper that Freddy Adu ought to find another club in Europe before diving into the Prem, specifically suggesting the Dutch Ersedivisie.
I couldn't agree with the former Polish dynamo more.
What exactly will Adu accomplish if he managed to sign for Manchester United? A couple Carling Cup matches? Some reserve action? An occasional 20-minutes against a Watford?
It's not a secret that the Dutch league is a stepping stone to big things. And technically speaking, few can match that land of windmills and dykes for developing footballers.
It might take Freddy (and Nike) to swallow their pride a little bit, but a starting job at PSV (for example) certainly doesn't sell as many shirts as the Red Devils, but as far as developing a player that can lead the US in the World Cup it's a no brainer.
Adios.
