"Everybody has one good book in them"
-Old Adage-

"It was made by HappySoft, who were most famous for making... Hong Kong '97, their one and only masterpiece. On this one occasion, they rose from the depths of hell, excreted this unholy turd onto the Earth, and descended back to where they came!"

"But in case you were worried there were no consequences, this is the only movie its director has EVER directed. Someone gave him his shot on this movie, and he stepped in it a little bit, and he hasn't directed a feature SINCE! That's damage. I feel bad for the guy, if I'm honest. The movie's process and/or reception f*cking ENDED this guy's directing career. No movie is so bad its director should ever be barred from ever trying again. Well, except for maybe Maximum Overdrive."
Jeremy, CinemaSins, Everything Wrong with Eragon

"And you know, the weird thing about books is that you only really need to write one to be considered to be a great writer. Until last year, To Kill a Mockingbird was the only book that Harper Lee ever published. One book in 89 years. To be fair, that book did win the Pulitzer Prize and sold over 40 million copies, so she didn't really need to do another one, did she? 'Hey Harper, you gonna write another book?' 'Nope! Did you read the first one? Fuckin' nailed it! Fuckin' nailed it! I'm just doin' the one! Just doin' the one.' Imagine if I did that! Came up here, told one joke and then stared at you for 58 minutes. 'Are you gonna tell another joke?' 'Nope! Did you hear the first one? Fuckin' nailed it! I'm just doin' the one!' There's not many jobs where you can just do the one, is there? Just writers, and... suicide bombers. Hard to do two of those."
Randy Feltface, "Randy Writes a Novel"
