The 'Exclamation Point,' a form of punctuation usually used to express strong emotion or volume, died August 2nd, after 'CAPS LOCK' defeated it during a Lindy West film review.
"I use 'CAPS LOCK' to convey humor," said West. "It just makes it funnier. It's hard to explain. IT'S WAY BETTER THAN AN EXCLAMATION POINT. See?! Funnier."
Famed author F. Scott Fitzgerald commented, "Cut out all those exclamation points. An exclamation point is like laughing at your own jokes." He then quickly added, "So is using 'CAPS LOCK.' But seriously, I can't stop...IT'S TOO MUCH FUN."
Wow this was one of the poorest movie reviews I've ever read. There is a way to successfully detail why you don't like a movie, and there's this: a half-baked Live Journal post. Seriously, all the punctuation, caps, and chains of letters? You know what's a good way to scrutinize a bad movie? With intellectual, rationally rigorous arguments. Instead you chose snark and cynicism with the barely enough maturity to top the content of the movie itself.
The problem with your reviews, Lindy, is that they make me want to see these crap movies that I would never go see just so that I can laugh at how bad they are.
I blame you for the 2+ hours of my life I'll never get back due to watching SATC2 (on the free movie channel--not paying for that shite!) just because your review of it was so awesome. After watching it, I came back and read your review again!

The 'Exclamation Point' will be sorely missed.
Please make the sex with me.
