Pajiba Be Writin'

I love the crew over at film review site Pajiba. They have a list of their nastiest reviews and the words and turns of phrases. Their annual posts are like... like... my McRib.

Here's a snippet of what they said about The Wrath of Titans:

It’s a weak video game plot, a series of fetch quests committed to celluloid with a cast of utterly boring characters listlessly going through the motions, trying to look like they give a shit about finding the mythical island of whatever-the-hell so that they can speak to the mighty whoever-the-fuck so that he can tell them where to find the magical I-just-don’t-give-a-damn.

Dear New York Times,

The clue for 28 down reads "Wack, in hip-hop," and the answer provided is "ILLIN." These are not the same things, at all!
