SUHHHH MICHAEL CAINE BLOWS A FUSE:

Yesterday he spoke of having felt “quite depressed” on Saturday night after casting his eye over the Top Ten box-office hits in the US.

He said: “I was struck by how stunningly banal and formulaic it all was.”

The hits reflected Hollywood at its trashiest, with an emphasis on special effects, action and violence, he said. Singling out Beerfest, a comedy about excessive drinking, and The Worm-Eaters [SIC], a horror drama [SIC] about boys who eat worms, he added: “Some of the pictures are so gross.

“The film industry has a responsibility to give audiences something better, he emphasised, lamenting how the pursuit of money is stifling creativity and imagination....”

And how many depressing, banal, formulaic, trashy, violent and gross movies have YOU made, Suhhhh Michael?

How about The Swarm and Beyond the Poseidon Adventure?

P. S.

Trivia: 'Michael Caine' [SIC] stated in an interview that during filming [of The Swarm] he thought the little yellow spots left by the bees on his clothing was honey so he began to eat it, unaware he was eating bee poop.

P. P. S. As might be expected those errors spread throughout the RUPERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! empire, although for some reason in Australia the drinking was no longer excessive.

(Via KLO TRAVERS, who's always praising depressing, banal, formulaic, trashy, violent and gross movies -- especially if they're con-SER-va-tive.

And undoubtedly she got it from WALTER "THE SPYWARE COWBOY" WINCHELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, who certainly doesn't know any better.

And I must admit I didn't know better; I let those two errors pass for over five hours.)
