I don't know this for sure, but my sense is that she gets annoyed when she can't use a word that was used on TV -- and is, in fact, annoyed by censorship in general
I have chronicled, haven't I, the Globe's sports writing team's efforts at self-censorship? They involve quotes mostly broadcast on NESN, the local sports cable channel, and include, "Contrary to what everyone says, the Yankees don't [inhale excessively]," and "I really don't give a [care]."
It's a whole nother dialect unto itself. The first one I actually had to sit there breathing funny to figure out they meant "suck".
Hugh has been able to save Van Helsing.
Saving it was WAY more than an actor's job.
True. And I'd like to think that, even if the script blew, there would be other good elements going into a Wolverine movie.

I have to join the hated Stigmata crowd. I thought it was bad. Bad on a level that I had to make it a rating. Like, Highlander; Endgame was Stigmata Bad. End of Days and Matrix; Revolutions were Stigmata Bad. I'm still recovering from watching that movie.
The bad news: It's being written by the guy who wrote Troy.
That was actually a fan-freaking-tastic script. I cried. And that is difficult to do with a screenplay. The movie wasn't as good as the script.
I enjoyed Van Helsing a lot. I distinctly remember laughing the entire way through. But that might have been because of the looks on ita's face, or the way Burrell would try and rationalize things. Or my mom's fairly continuous snickering. Of course, Hugh and Kate had nothing on the burning flames of chemistry that Judi Dench and Vin Diesel were playing with in the trailer beforehand, so that might've distracted from the enjoyable experience for some. It's tough to follow such an act.
Like, Highlander; Endgame was Stigmata Bad.
God, that movie was freaking terrible. I still, to this day, can not live down talking my aunt into going to see it with me. I thought, I like the TV show, and Adrian Paul is pretty, how bad can it be? The answer was, of course, unimaginably bad-- so incredibly, embarrassingly bad. And Adrian wasn't even pretty. He had horrible jowls. Simply awful.
Like, Highlander; Endgame was Stigmata Bad.
Bah. For true badness, you've got to give it up to Highlander 2. Or the original Rollerball, for that matter.
On the dual-movies theme, don't forget about Bug's Life and Antz.

I think I've mentioned here my utter loathing of Magnolia. How it's become my comparator bad movie. ("It was bad, but not Magnolia bad.")
I have a new ultimate bad movie. It ekes past Magnolia for worst movie ever ever ever. I'd rather watch Magnolia again than this movie, and that's really saying something.
It was playing at my gym yesterday. It was so very watch-from-the-hall bad. Like, I was embarrassed to be in there while it was playing.
Scooby Doo 2.
I am not lying. Not even Seth Green added ANY redemptive quality to the movie.

Still World and Olympic champion: Bolero. Or pretty much any Bo Derek movie involving dialogue. Tarzan, the Ape Man is a particularly punishing example, and as a bonus, has a three hour Richard Harris death scene.
