Why Does God Let Terrible Things Happen?
Last night, at 11:18 pm EST, during a commercial break on The Daily Show (Comedy Central, Channel 45 on Time Warner Cable in New York), this
through no fault of my own, appeared on my television screen.
I am — well, let’s just say lots of years old. I have seen quite a few bad commercials for terrible movies (among other things) in my time. But this is literally the first time in my life that I have ever found myself sitting alone in my living room, blank-faced with horror and revulsion, thinking “oh my God, this is unquestionably the worst, most appalling thing ever committed to celluloid.” I mean, think about it. Trailers usually contain the best parts of the movie; if this is the best, what must the rest of it look like?
Truly, I felt a sense of unimaginable resentment, anger and bewilderment just watching the damn thing for two minutes. And I don’t even have any particular problem with Mike Meyers. This is just … oh, my sweet lord. Somebody tell me, am I wrong? Am I over-reacting? Holy jiminy crickets. What are we to make of this?
