Joe Queenan's review of Paris Hilton's The Hottie and the Nottie, which descends into a discussion of the worst movie ever made, actually makes me want to see what Queenan crowns "the worst movie ever made," Heaven's Gate, based on his description of the film:
"This is a movie about Harvard-educated gunslingers who face off against eastern European sodbusters in an epic struggle for the soul of America. This is a movie that stars Isabelle Huppert as a shotgun-toting cowgirl. This is a movie in which Jeff Bridges pukes while mounted on roller skates. This is a movie that has five minutes of uninterrupted fiddle-playing by a fiddler who is also mounted on roller skates. This is a movie that defies belief."It has been moved to the top of my Netflix cue.
