If you're making a big-budget fantasy movie, you probably shouldn't include a hang glider.
Batman would disagree.

People also seem to enjoy that Harold and Kumar movie. I think it's alright.

I honestly haven't seen it, but it's Around the World in 80 Days within Jackie Chan, it can't be that good.
Within Jackie Chan? That doesn't sound good at all.

I think another Ebert rule is "No good movie has ever included a character named Cole". The rule was made before The Sixth Sense came out, however.

How about no good movie has ever been directed by Uwe Bole? I dare you to disprove that one.
