I know Horace posted this just for the delightful prose; but, we
must also be fair to the movie:

So, here is a review from someone who enjoyed it:

A pox on you Horace as I have now added this movie to my Netflix
queue and will probably watch it. But, then again, I did watch
"Bubba Ho-tep".

I actually watched Rubber after reading the review. Who could
resist? I didn't dislike it so I rated it three stars. I watch a
lot of independent films. This was not one of the best I've seen,
but I certainly watched it to the end. I thought reading the funny
review was much more enjoyable.
I have often thought I would like to write some fiction, but I just
don't have any talent for it. I would never have been able to write
something so creative and funny as that review. It seems like it
would be a lot easier to write without a calculator in hand, but it
is not easier for me. I've been working over 15 years here now
trying to improve my expository prose, with limited success. I
admire people like Jed who are so good at clearly, accurately, and
fully saying what they have to say, and usually without a tone that
puts a person to sleep.
Best regards,
