Weaponized Anthrax or Watching "Rebound"?
If you had to choose between getting a handful of powdered anthrax blown in your face or giving up two hours of your life to watch "Rebound" with Martin Lawrence, which would you choose? You probably chose watching the Martin Lawrence shitfest, but I bet you thought about it for a few seconds.
Martin Lawrence has always tested the definition of the word "comedian" to me. He mugs, he laughs, he plays a variety of goofy characters. These are attributes of a comedian, sure, but with the all important difference that HE ISN'T FUNNY. Every third guy in America under 40 has a set of jokes, silly faces, and impressions that are as funny as Martin Lawrence's tired act. That is no compliment, to Lawrence or to the United States.
