24->'''Aram''': To say that Jeriah's writings are actually poetry is much the same as saying that tripping down a flight of stairs and breaking your collar bone is ballet.\

33->For 32 years, the Music/RebeccaBlack of opera refused to believe she didn't have what it takes, and gave it to music regardless. She was so bad that being injured in a car crash ''actually improved her voice.'' But if that wasn't embarrassing enough, she made her own (crappy) costumes, was [[ServileSnarker mocked by her pianist]] while she performed, and tossed flowers to the crowd during her acts and then ''took them back for the next show.''
34-->--'''''{{Website/Cracked}}''''' on Florence Foster Jenkins, [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-star-performers-who-never-let-lack-talent-stop-them/ "5 Star Performers Who Never Let a Lack of Talent Stop Them"]]

36->The haters can eat it, because [[Creator/LindsayLohan LiLo]] ran into Creator/AlPacino at a hotel recently and he told her he was proud of her for doing theater. Yeah, she probably didn’t run into THEE Al Pacino, she ran into some random dude who happens to be named Al Pacino. And he didn’t tell her he was proud of her for doing for theater, he asked her what her hourly rate is.

39->[[Creator/MNightShyamalan Night’s]] ''Film/AfterEarth'' production tweets were something to behold, as he simpered on about each shot and edit evoking the emotional wonder and power of cinema, like a blind man telling you how clever his dog is, while stroking a furry toilet seat with a collar on it.
40-->--'''Stuart Millard''', [[http://franticplanet.wordpress.com/2010/07/21/the-self-destruction-of-m-night-shyamalan/ "The Self-Destruction of M. Knight Shyamalan]]

42->If you are having a bad day you simply have to watch the second episode of The Time Monster with the commentary switched on. Creator/JohnLevene's solo effort is a joy to behold because he seems to think that this is some kind of forgotten gem and his [[SpearCarrier personal contributions]] are the work of a skilled actor at the height of his powers.
43-->--'''[[http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/the-time-monster-written-by-robert.html Joe Ford]]''' on ''Series/DoctorWho'', [[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS9E5TheTimeMonster}} "The Time Monster"]]

60->''Insurrection'' is a symphony of stupid. It's like [[Music/LudwigVanBeethoven Beethoven's]] Symphony No. 5, but for below-average Hollywood hack-job filmmakers and producers.
61-->--'''[[WebVideo/RedLetterMedia Harry S. Plinkett]]''' on ''Film/StarTrekInsurrection''
62
63->I would almost like to flowchart this or document it. This is such a convoluted, stupid history, you almost wanna transcribe this shit, make a history book. This has to be written down. Because nobody's gonna remember this. And we ''should'' remember this.

66->''"Second award: 'Somebody Cared'. I can't say who, but there are enough signs that somebody on the development team '''really''' cared about ''The Chosen'', and this was their baby. Someone here had a '''vision'''... [[SuckinessIsPainful and we're paying the price for it]]."''

78
79->I first read this sentence nearly three years ago. Since then, I have read it once a week in an increasingly desperate search for meaning. But I still don't understand it.
80-->--'''Nick Page''', ''In Search of the World's Worst Writers'', on the opening line[[note]]''[[WallOfText Have ever you visited that portion of Erin's plot that offers its sympathetic soil for the minute survey and scrutinous examination of those in political power, whose decision has wisely been the means before now of converting the stern and prejudiced, and reaching the hand of slight aid to share its strength in augmenting its agricultural richness?]]''[[/note]] of Creator/AmandaMcKittrickRos's ''Delina Delaney''
81
82->I write in a genre that was not defined by me. The examples were not set out by me. They were set out 2,000 years ago by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. They were called the Greek tragedies...They went from those, to Shakespeare’s ''Romeo and Juliet'', then Jane Austen did it, put a new human twist on it. Hemingway did it with ''Literature/AFarewellToArms''. A Farewell to Arms, by Hemingway. Good stuff. ''That’s'' what I write…There are no authors in my genre. No one is doing what I do.
83-->--Literary giant '''Creator/NicholasSparks'''
84
85->Every once in a while we [[DirectLineToTheAuthor turn up another P.D.Q. Bach manuscript]] in a monastery or attic. And every time we do, we have a great feeling of anticipation, a feeling of exultation, you might say. A feeling that this new piece we've found can't possibly be as bad as the last piece. But so far, every new piece we find of his lives up to the same low standards set by the previous one.
86-->-- '''Peter Schickele''' on [[Music/PDQBach P.D.Q. Bach]], ''An Evening with P.D.Q. Bach''
87
88->Me and Robin [Thicke] the whole time said,You know we’re about to make history right now. What’s amazing is I think now, we’re three days later and people are still talking about it.
89-->--'''Music/MileyCyrus''' on her performance at the 2013 Video Music Awards
