The Carpenters weren't in fact a singing group. They were a pair of robots parodied after USians, designed by Fidel Castro's eccentric scientist cousin, Gummo Castro, to see if they could pass the Turing Test. They couldn't.
And the Osmonds are aliens, as everyone knows.
I should have been clearer. ABBA was the most ghastly
warm-blooded pop singing act to assault our ears in recent times. And because they were Swedish, they were too large to be stepped on accidentally in passing, which made matters worse.
On to less serious matters. I have yet to watch a Boll film. Call it an instinct for self-preservation that has served me well for most of my life. It doesn't sound as if he's quite as bad as, say, Ed Wood or John Derek, which means he'd be less entertaining, and more ghastly. But I don't see any reason to sign a petition against him. Hell, if he wants to keep making films, it's his business. I don't have to watch his work.
