Here is just a short list of some things I would prefer to watching Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon "act" (the term must be used loosely with them) out the life story of Johnny Cash:
1. Run my balls up and down a cheese grater repeatedly
2. Drink a bucket of vomit (not mine)
3. Conduct sex education sessions at group homes for the profoundly retarded
4. Watch Battlefield:Earth in its entirety. Twice.
5. Memorize pi to 1500 places
6. Get hooked on heroin and share needles with junkies at an AIDS hospice
7. Give Ving Rhames a thorough rimjob
8. Sit through an entire live performance of the White Stripes
9. Go freegan
10. Invest my life savings in General Motors

I suggest that you watch Walk the Line and Garden State in a double feature. I'm curious as to which you would hate more.

Hopefully your beef is just with the movie and the actors and NOT with The Man in Black himself. We'd have to have words.

I can only assume from the silence that has ensued since this last post that the producers of this film sought out and exterminated the entire Gin & Tacos talent pool for pointing out such infinitely preferable alternatives to their piece of cinematic corpse-rapery. (Given the box office returns of the film, the advice of G&T appears to have been followed by America.) Either that or, to prove his point, Ed actually went and *did* one of the above rather than see the film. Please God, say it was the cheese grater–say it wasn't seeing Battlefield Earth twice. I just…I couldn't face the idea of that happening to another human being.
