- This is the only line I actually appreciated in "The Last
- Boy Scout," as it solidifies my belief, bolstered by the
- appearance of briefcases full of money and white BMWs, that
- the movie was being targeted at an African-American

- It helped that it was shouted by a twelve-year-old girl,
- and followed by nearly four seconds of dialogueless,
- meaningless panning and cutting, an obvious paean to the
- raucous shouting and high-fiving that would have ensued in
- the theater, had anyone actually bought tickets and seen
- this peice of shit. My imaginary friends didn't even stop
- talking about Aristotle's essays on Rhetoric.
