STORY TOOLS

A few weeks ago, I was faced with a serious dilemma. I had to make a choice that plagues just about everyone during the summer months. I had three possible avenues to travel and I didn’t make up my mind until the last minute.

Should I see “WALL-E,” “Hancock,” or “Wanted?”

“WALL-E” was made by Pixar, so the odds were good for it. “Hancock” looked funny in the previews and the thought of a drunk superhero would normally seal the deal for me. However, “Wanted” was the dark horse; the movie had an aura about it that made me think it would be unexpectedly brilliant.

So what does one do in such a situation? I consulted rottentomatoes.com, of course. I’m amazed I haven’t covered this site yet in this column. The truth is I use it so much I don’t even think about how useful it is anymore.

This site combines hundreds of movie reviews and scores each one, then averages the scores and gives the movie a rating on a 100-point scale. If the film gets a 60 percent rating or higher, the film is rated “fresh.” Anything below 60 percent is “rotten,” hence the name.

I know what some of you are thinking. You’ll say film critics are snobby and can’t really tell you if a film is good. I agree, but rottentomatoes.com solves this problem. I understand ignoring a few criticisms, but it’s only common sense to listen to hundreds of critics when they tell you a movie stinks.

According to Rotten Tomatoes, “Hancock” scored a 37 percent, “WALL-E” scored a 97 percent, and “Wanted” scored a 72 percent. “Hancock” was out of the running and I realized I would much rather see Angelina Jolie looking hot and shooting people than watch the story of a trash disposing robot.

Sorry, “WALL-E.” You’re doomed to be a rental.

Recently, Jake introduced me to an online rap video titled “The Average, Everyday, Normal Guy.” The video is extremely crude and funny, but because of the former quality I can’t direct you to it. I can’t keep you from finding it yourself, but I certainly can’t direct you to it here.

Luckily, I’ve found a rap take-off that’s just about as good. It scores because it’s a funny version of Flo Rida’s “Low” and it makes fun of every preppie, collar-popped frat boy in existence. I can’t make fun of them all by myself; somebody’s gotta help me out from time to time.

The video is called “New Polo.” The song includes lyrics like “I got fair skin so I wear sunscreen, vitamin water and lots of protein” and the rappers give shout-outs to Lunchables. This makes me wonder why rappers in general don’t give more shout-outs to Lunchables. They’re delicious and nothing says “street” like a nice Pizza Lunchable. Maybe we’ll talk more about this next week.

Urban Dictionary Word of the Day:Lunchable (n.) — A person not worth dating because they are barely nutritious and ultimately disposable.
