Quote of the Day

From Defamer's take on the weekend's box office; specifically on the Katherine Heigl rom-com 27 Dresses' impressive take:

"Fox will likely attribute the success of 27 Dresses--the 8th! Best! January! Opening! etc. etc.--to its positioning as attractive counter-programming to Cloverfield, but we suspect that to be only half the case. In an inspired, soon-to-be-studied-at-Annenberg marketing phenomenon, we think Dresses's hefty take was the result of mass chick-movie/guy-movie bartering agreements, with couples throughout America agreeing to see one if their mate agreed to accompany them to the other. As a result, the adventures of a shrewish, unmarriable Katherine Heigl acted not unlike a Rottweiller-sized crab louse, hanging off its much larger box-office-monster host-body."

Anything that compares Heigl to an enormous alien crab louse is aces in my book.
