Welcome Aboard, O King of the Awful Name-Related Puns!
Great review and an entertaining read. And being a fan of some topic doesn't EVER disqualify you from shredding films about it, in this reviewer's determinedly humble opinion.
If it did, er, well, I wouldn't be here. ;D

Welcome! Not only do we have a new Mutant to read, but you reviewed a movie that's one of my favourite guilty pleasures. And "Woads? Where we're going, we don't need... woads" resulted in beer through nose. Owwwwww.

Woad. Isn't that something that Elmer Fudd drives on?
Congratulations to the newest Mutant! Great first review, Al! I shall watch your career with great interest.

Al's baby brother Drew here. He forgot to mention that he also taught The Canterbury Tales to my 11th grade English class (edit: years ago... I'm 22 now). Stay tuned for more tidbits that Al conveniently omits as the reviews continue to roll in. No secret is safe when somebody on the forum lives in the next room!
Oh, and as far as the review, I agree that being a fan doesn't discredit you from reviewing. How else will you ever get to all of those terrible Hulk Hogan flicks that I know you're just dying to tear to shreds?

Congratulations Al!
May I just add that my own love for Arthurian legend very much prevented me from acknowledging this movie's existence for several months, so it was a pleasure to read a true fan's review of it. Cheers, and I look forward to more of your work!

And "Woads? Where we're going, we don't need... woads" resulted in beer through nose. Owwwwww. Wow, you Canucks are always drinking, aren't you? Great first review, Al! Congrats, and may it be the first of many, many more to come. (Also, your brother has a cool name. Though I shall henceforth refer to him as "Drew 2.") -D |

Oh, now this is good. A family member that won't be cowed by the withholding of sexual favors that reads the site. Drew 2, we must talk blackmail... Give us the dirt!
And I add my "awesome review! Welcome!" to Al (and my congrats to Sue!).

A family member that won't be cowed by the withholding of sexual favors Hahaha... you DO realize how awful that sentence reads, don't you?  I too offer Al my congratulations. You've had it coming to you a long time, kid. Way to go! |

A family member that won't be cowed by the withholding of sexual favors that reads the site. At least I'm not alone... I had to read this three times to make sure you weren't implying terrible and illegal things about my family. Though, in all honesty, the gin may have something to do what that... |

I realized I forgot to congratulate Sue. So, congratulations Sue! I look forward to seeing many more of your reviews. (Hey - you've never reviewed Hidalgo!) And "Woads? Where we're going, we don't need... woads" resulted in beer through nose. Owwwwww. Wow, you Canucks are always drinking, aren't you? In all fairness, it was Corona. Doesn't count. |

No, I don't drink gin  I suppose the use of the word "cowed" was pretty bad, huh? I just wanted to say "finally, a Mutant who has a member of the family read this," but then I remembered there are spouses who read it (including my own) and yeah, that argument didn't work. And I am SO stopping now before I dig myself a deeper hole. Do you know how many non-PG-13 answers I can come up with for that? Yeah. It doesn't work too well. And I suck at bluffing. Oh, and nice to finally put a face to the name, Al! Although for some reason both Sue and I thought you were a scrawny guy with dark hair and glasses. |

Muchas Gracias guys. I've been bursting to talk about this for a while now and am happy I can stop holding my breath about it.  I'm really thrilled to be a part of the staff and I'm glad you folks liked the review. I can only imagine it will be a long and eventful reign, er...tenure, culminating in total domination of the tri-state area and mass-conversions of new Mutant faithful. Also: mad props to Sue for stepping into Poolman's large, maple-leaf-shaped shoes. You'll do a bang-up job! Al Oh, and Drew? You don't mention the noodle incident, I won't mention the basket-sucking incident. Deal? |
