I just endured the Clash of the Titans remake. I knew it was bad, but reader, I did not know how bad. I was at every turn amazed and astounded at the new depths of badness this film reached. Every actor seemed surly and dejected, as if they had only read the script after they'd signed the contracts. As if they imagined every blow struck against a CGI monster to be one struck against their agents. I want to beat every writer involved to death with a copy of Hamilton's Mythology.

In happier news, I managed to revise some more whilst enduring this unfortunate film. Three flabby scenes were excised, and two chapters condensed to one. I hope I find something that needs expanding, or this will be a very slim book.

Cod help me, I tried watching the new Criminal Minds/Criminal Waste spin-off thing. Wow, that's bad. There is not an unstilted line of dialogue in the first episode (except possibly Garcia's). The script is so bad Forest Whitaker* can't even breathe! Michael Kelly's character backstory assaults the viewer with stupidity, like being backhanded with a fistful of dumb. Janeane Garofalo, I will buy you a new water heater!

I badly need to watch Ghost Dog and Mystery Men to get this taste out of my mouth.


* An alarming insight into my psyche: The Crying Game has forever conflated Forest Whitaker in cricket whites with orgasm for me. Yeah. Good luck not thinking about that.
