Don't say that you love me! Just tell me that you want me! Tusk!

Fine. Fineity fineity fine.
I will update - for who am I to deprive the world of a certain person's thoughts?

That and I should be getting ready to go out. There's nothing like updating a blog when it comes to procrastination.

While I'm here, I thought I'd solicit your help in figuring out what this little grab means...
A friend of mum's brought some DVDs back from Bali (I'm astonished - they work!), including Fantastic 4 II. On the back of this DVD is the quote "...instantly forgettable as it is momentarily enjoyable." - NY Times, A.O. Scott.

I'm having trouble with this. Mostly because the grabs on DVD covers are meant to say how wonderful the movie is... So what the h-e-double hockeysticks is that quote doing?
Somebody?
Anybody?

Not being a Balinese pirate myself (yarrr!) I do not know the answer for certain, but I have a shrewd idea: If I were to pirate a DVD, and a cover for said DVD, why be so boring as to leave the whole thing unchanged? If it were me, ALL the tag lines would be subtly altered.

Could be good old fashioned honesty? Maybe?

Bali is a great place for bootleg DVDs. Forged documents, however, are best garnered elsewhere.
