This new collection continues the tradition, reviewing not only movies that were at the bottom of the barrel, but also movies that he found underneath the barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Roger's review of \u003cem\u003eDeuce Bigalow: European Gigolo\u003c\/em\u003e (0 stars): \"The movie created a spot of controversy in February 2005. According to a story by Larry Carroll of MTV News, Rob Schneider took offense when Patrick Goldstein of the \u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/em\u003e listed this year's Best Picture nominees and wrote that they were 'ignored, unloved, and turned down flat by most of the same studios that . . . bankroll hundreds of sequels, including a follow-up to \u003cem\u003eDeuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo\u003c\/em\u003e, a film that was sadly overlooked at Oscar time because apparently nobody had the foresight to invent a category for Best Running Penis Joke Delivered by a Third-Rate Comic.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchneider retaliated by attacking Goldstein in full-page ads in \u003cem\u003eDaily Variety\u003c\/em\u003e and the \u003cem\u003eHollywood Reporter\u003c\/em\u003e. In an open letter to Goldstein, Schneider wrote: 'Well, Mr. Goldstein, I decided to do some research to find out what awards you have won. I went online and found that you have won nothing. Absolutely nothing. No journalistic awards of any kind. . . . Maybe you didn't win a Pulitzer Prize because they haven't invented a category for Best Third-Rate, Unfunny Pompous Reporter Who's Never Been Acknowledged by His Peers. . . .'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchneider was nominated for a 2000 Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actor, but lost to Jar-Jar Binks. But Schneider is correct, and Patrick Goldstein has not yet won a Pulitzer Prize. Therefore, Goldstein is not qualified to complain that Columbia financed \u003cem\u003eDeuce Bigalow: European Gigolo\u003c\/em\u003e while passing on the opportunity to participate in \u003cem\u003eMillion Dollar Baby, Ray, The Aviator, Sideways\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eFinding Neverland\u003c\/em\u003e. As chance would have it, I have won the Pulitzer Prize, and so I am qualified. Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Ebert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0740763660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780740763663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrews McMeel Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.42h x 5.54w x 0.97d","brand":"Roger Ebert","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051701891327,"sku":"9780740763663","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8f29662-e1ab-45bc-a198-ab573311083e.jpg?v=1685014667","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/your-movie-sucks-roger-ebert-9780740763663","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
