Irresistible

Jon Stewart's "Irresistible," isn't a great flick. In fact, it's barely any good.

But that's because it's a direct, honest look at the current goings-on in the U.S.: our short-attention span culture, deep political divide, our lust (for money, fame, and power as much or more as for sex), and our desperation. Stewart holds a mirror up to our faces and makes us take a look.

It's not pretty, and it's not entertaining. But it's truth.

Here's the best review I can offer (with a hat-tip to my friend Donutbuzz who reminds us often that everybody knows):


Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight is fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich 
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
