That's a pretty good observation. I've been spending a lot of time taking care of a female friend who's recovering from surgery, and when I'm at her house this is something we can both agree on. (I've also seen a lot of "America's Next Top Model" Luckily, she's got wifi.) SVU is always on Cloo, Oxygen, or USA for all-day marathons, just hours and hours of rape, incest, and child murder. Like "24", the plots on this show are crazy, just a complete fucking mess. They usually catch the perp halfway into the hour, and that's when things get REALLY fucked up.

Jesus, I saw that movie last night, and I did not make him.

So, you might say, as bad movies go, that this one was idiosyncratically bad in a statistically unpredictable way, or rather, an accidental or chance happening of low quality?

There was no predicting this pile of shit.

Fluke is a movie about a guy who dies and comes back reincarnated as a dog, WITH A TWIST.

The twist is that it's not a comedy. It takes itself completely seriously. It's ponderous, depressing, and horrible. At one point he actually winds up in a laboratory, subjected to product testing. My date was furious at me for taking her, but she refused to leave, apparently to punish me.

I always describe the experience of seeing "Fluke" in terms of wanting to get up and throttle the projectionist.

Some people like it. Fuck those people.
