Re: Drag Me To Hell - Sam Raimi

I would agree if it weren't for the horrible acting and writing. The problem is that, although I'm willing to meet the movie halfway and accept its premise, these two factors continually sucked me...

The problem is that he confuses "retching at Crash" with "retching at any movie with profundity." It's certainly easy to dismiss criticism of a movie by lumping it in with a wide assortment of films...

That joke was tired about a day after the movie was first announced. A comedian you are not.
