Personal statement: Since then it's been a book you read in reverse
So you understand less as the pages turn
Or a movie so crass
And awkardly cast
That even I could be the star.

"Just a few that come to my mind are, Half Baked, PCU, Orange County... I regularly quote from these and all their cheesey comedic glory. Any other terribly wonderful films anyone? " [More]

"Hi everyone...I confess I've known about spout.com and been a member for some time, but have not done anything outside of looked up movie reviews and rated some films I've seen.
