"Jimmy G ripped you a new one yesterday, dogface. He picked your stack of lies clean and got to the truth."
Wow. This has got to be the most unintentionally hilarious letter I've ever seen on Salon. Seriously, read that excerpt out loud and it's even funnier. Anyway, time to clean the Mountain Dew off my monitor.

Saw it tonight. I've been wanting to see this for nearly six months but for the most part, I agree with the review. Despite what some posters have been saying, the 9/11 references are unmistakable. But that alone, while cheap and perhaps a bit offensive, is not what made it a shitty film. The characters are completely unlikeable and the film takes itself way too seriously, apparently trying to ride on contemporary images of horror without adding anything insightful or interesting to the subject or genre. Watch the movie and you'll be disappointed. This is not a "fun" monster movie. It could've been that, but instead it's trying to be 28 Days Later without the substance. May the lives of the writer, director, and producer end in despair.
