Yeah, I love TRADING PLACES a little too much…

I still love BETTER OFF DEAD in ways I know aren’t healthy. This will probably be the least read of all my Trailer Park columns, seeing how this is Christmas Eve when you all will read this in the US. Abroad, however, I haven’t a clue what people celebrate. I have been so ingrained with the notion that Hallmark invented Valentine’s Day, Sweetest Day and a handful of other manufactured “holidays” that I have lost any sense of the rest of the world around me…

I made a little fun of Mark McGrath last week. I kidded, I joked, I called him out on his “cred” as a rock star who now unnervingly gets all giddy now talking about who is walking down the red carpet wearing Vera Wang or Armani. Hey, I was readily admitting I’d whore myself out to the networks, too, as the skinny nerd they go to every now and then to critique trailers in order to get a little dough; I have no compunction with publicly saying that…

Is that that time already? It has almost been a year since I stepped into this role of trailer reviewer and, believe me, it’s no false modesty on my part as it is a lack of competition, but I am one of the only mo-fos out there who really has spent a copious amount of time on trailers this year…

Does HERO need one that bad?
