Quotes:

Dr. Pitt: As you can see, St. Jones is a totally moderate facility. A haven for hopeless cases. Most of the patients here are pathetic specimens. They'll have to spend the rest of their lives here. Those who are not already catatonic are routinely sedated. That's the best part of my job. In spite of the sedation, many of these patients are extremely dangerous. So, I cannot adequately stress that while you are in your residency here, that you at all times, carry your taser gun, and your suicide pill.

Excellent Fun

This was a great film. It parodies every slasher flick ever done and it does it intelligently. The movie follows a hapless serial killer who like the rest of his family is completely inept. He vows to his dying father (who he accidentally electrocutes) to do the family name proud. We are off to the most brain dead sorority house in the world with equally dumb boyfriends serving themselves up to our hapless hero/killer. Amy Lynn Best and Lilith Stabs are the only 2 people there who aren't missing several pounds of gray matter between their ears. There are so many parodies that I couldn't even begin to list them but one of my favorites is that all of girls are commanded by their Fem Lib professor (played by Debbie Rochon) to deny their sexual urges and not give in to the tyrannical patriarchy of the penis (actual quote). If you want to see a real fun movie just go to Happy Cloud pictures and get it. I know I didn't regret it.
