…ok, maybe not my life, but certainly my future habits on All Consuming. Normally, for somewhat juvenile philosophic reasons, I mark just about every movie as ‘Worth Consuming’. I’ve tried to take the approach that there was something to be taken from every film, even if it was an example of something not to do when making a making a movie. I just felt that a strict ‘thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down’ system was too restrictive.

Of course, it could just be that I didn’t want to admit to myself that I had just wasted 2 hours of my life.

Congratulations to the makers of “Paul Blart: Mall Cop”; you have forced me to be honest with myself. Today, thanks to your efforts, I can admit that I have just wasted 2 hours of my life on perhaps the worst movie I can recall seeing in many, many years. I have been so inspired by your failure, that I am seriously contemplating going back and making sure that all the movies I have marked as ‘Worth Consuming’ are worthy of that statement. One down…several thousand to go…
