Well, yesterday's premiere edition of Verba Ex Mortus got 0 feedback, which means that there was no BAD feedback, which in turn means I'm continuing to do it without any changes. If you want to comment on it, leave good comments in the forum, and keep the bad ones to yourself. On with the shizat.

Here's a great tidbit for the atheists out there. The next time you want to fight for your cause of believing that god doesn't exist, ask your friend what type of god would allow an Antitrust: Special Edition DVD to be made? Not a kind one I'd say.

I can think of nothing more evil than giving this piece of vile trash the special edition treatment, especially with some of the more deserving films in MGM's library. Only three people in the world liked this movie: Ryan Phillipe, his mother, and Joel Siegel.

This piece of garbage didn't even make half of its budget back. On the other hand, the person you're arguing with could use Antitrust in a counterpoint, stating that the reason Tim Robbins is staring in this trash, as well as Mission To Mars, is because his contract with Satan has expired, rendering him unable to star in good movies, and if there's a Satan, there's a god. Be wary of that one.

Speaking of horrible bombs of movies that didn't even earn back half their budget getting special editions...

...I was flipping through a magazine and caught an ad for this great epic. In case you can't read it, the critic tagline at the bottom says, "A special effects extravaganza." In other words, "For Jerry Bruckheimer Fans Only."

It's hard for the rest of us to be floored by computer generated special effects these days. I've seen more impressive things on Reboot than in this movie, and Reboot is a million times more entertaining.

For some reason, I recall wanting this movie to succeed just to give Justin Whalin some success. I first became a fan of Justin when he took over the role of Jimmy Olsen on Lois & Clark from some untalented shmoe. He also wowed me in Child's Play 3.

It's hard for a babyface such as him to pull off a badass role, but he fails in style. He sure tries hard to do so though.

As of now, this horrible crap is number 35 on the Amazon.com sales charts. Antitrust is number 22. The only way I can explain this terrifying phenomenon is that Joel Siegel is buying thousands of copies of both movies to give to friends so that they can experience, "These super awesome greatest movies I have ever seen in my entire life until some other studio pays me off with more money."

Or maybe that was Harry Knowles that said that, I forget. I'm sure Joel is waiting in his deluxe high-rise apartment right now just waiting to ejaculate all over Pearl Harbor. I look foward to seeing him in the trailer. Hell, almost everyone is.

On the subject of Pearl Harbor, I'm sure many have noticed how much Cuba Gooding Jr's role has been downplayed in this. In the initial trailer I saw, his name wasn't even featured in the trailer, and Josh Harnett's role WAS!

I don't care if it's a small role, a few years ago and Cuba's name would be immediatley after Affleck's. Hey, people may not care much about Cuba anymore (especially after those horid Navy ads with Men Of Honor clips), but that's no reason to try and make people think he's not in this film (it did work with Stallone in Driven though...hmm).

Hell, be proud of it. Stick "Featuring the Star of Chill Factor, Cuba Gooding Jr!" on the trailers. What could it hurt? Everyone knows the entire country is going to go see this anyways, including me.

Jerry Bruckheimer's gonna get enough money to buy South America and continue feeding us his brain dead fodder for millions of years (He'll build himself a cyborg body or jack himself into a neural network for sure. Holy shit! Jerry Bruckheimer is Skynet!).

The Jerry Bruckheimer holocaust is coming! Jerry B. aka Skynet and his right hand man Nicholas Cage will surely destroy us all!

Our only hope is the ultimate bad ass Kyle Reese, and if you don't know who that is, but away your lame T2: Ultimate Edition and go view the original classic. Viva la resistance.
