...such production seeking to capitalize on the free spending and general consumerism of the holiday season is Anna and the King, starring Jodie Foster and international star Chow Yun Fat (A Better Tomorrow, The Killer) under the direction of Andy Tennant, who is last known for his sweet treatment of the Cinderella tale in Ever After. So, in order to entice people into theaters in the winter months, what do studios do? They advertise when most people will be sitting in theatres to hype the next big film season.

You put some goofy white boy in big baggy pants and take him out to the tattoo shop, you've got another band. You take two lazy fat-ass pieces of white trash from [lousy] Detroit and put clown makeup on them and you've got another band. It's not [really] music. I'm sorry, but you know what--I can get a seven string guitar, I can tune it down two steps and play with some...
