Billy Joel Reviews Bobby
"We didn't just hate Bobby
Left our ire burning
And our stomachs churning
We didn't just hate Bobby
Oh we tried to fight it
But the film ignited"

I'mm 99% certain you spent way too much time on that.

And it's not the first time, I believe, he's written a review in some kind of iambic pentameter (if that term even applies correctly to this context) to that horrible and crappy song.
I want to say this may be the third time.
Dave really does seem to go Loopy during festivals.
Yes, they are exhausting schedules, but everyone also does seem to be drunk 24/7 from partying and schmoozing too. (I haven't been in awhile)
To paraphrase another bad cultural saying from the same time period:
Kinda makes you go hmmm......?

Shouldn't the headline read "Billy Joel Reviews Bobby"? Who's Bill?

You keep that up and you'll never get that guest shot on _____ & Roeper! :-)

For what it's worth, I loved the review through song. I actually read it while singing!

We Didn't Start the Fire is one of the worst novelty songs of all time. I couldn't read this review because I can't stand to have that insipid melody in my head.

that may have been the worst review i've ever read.
maybe it's fitting since the movie is supposedly shit. but MAN, that was a really tough review to get through. like a really bad saturday night live song done by jimmy fallon
ugh

Funny review.
I'm not surprised at the emerging reaction. Estevez has always appeared to me as a fairly serious guy who wants to do good, serious work as a director but just doesn't really have 'it'.
All three of his directing films have been good ideas but poor execution. I want to like him as a director and he seems like a good guy, but...not surprised.
They really were just selling this based on the subject matter.

Billy Joel. A great singer. Not much of a movie reviewer.

The enormous cast of stars and has-beens is also its big selling point.

i can;t click on that link as I hate HATE HATE that song. I guess I should be grateful you didn;t use something by Tiffany or the Sugababes who have made great inroads into the annals of Horrible talentless.

Why are you dissing on the Sugababes. They're one of the few pop groups atm who are, you know, good.
Anyway. As I said in the other entry, Dave's word at the moment is just as valid as anyone else's so I'll wait until November rolls around.

cmon Kamel--they are cutesy interchangeable & replaceable girls who have less singing talent and style than the Spice Girls.
The boy and girl group configurations have never impressed me even though Robbie WIlliams is a good entertainer.
I guess the Sugababes are better than Ashley and Jessice who really are 15%-ers.

^^^You mean they became that after they lost Mutya Buena, one of the original girls, right? She was something.
