    Worst book by a mile is: Seven Days in the Art World by Sara Thornton.

    Only reason I keep it is because it was one we read - or I tried to finish reading - for our book club and I like to have those books as a record of all the topics we have covered.

    Superman III featured the then smokin-hot Annette O'Toole, at her most smokin' hot.

    In the one scene she shoots with Horse-Face Kidder, you gotta just shout out, "Clark, what the hell are you thinkin?!? Tell that old hag to shove off and treat yourself to some Smallville sweetness."

    The fist-fight between Evil Superman and Good Clark is also, by far, the best fight scene in any Superman movie. (Hopefully that will no longer be true as of June.)

    Other than that ... yeah, it sucks.

    The villain is a joke, and so are his henchmen. I know you were no fan of Hackman's Luthor, of course . . .

    Do agree that the fist fight is really good. And I do enjoy the whole "evil Superman" sequence. When I visited the leaning tower of Pisa, others were doing that whole "photo of me holding up the tower!" thing while I wanted a photo of me yelling "Strontz, Superman!"

    O'Toole was attractive in that movie, true. Same as in 48 Hrs. Kidder was only cute during the Richard Donner-shot scenes in Superman II. All else, it was a wonder she won Kal-El's heart.

    Annette was a total MILF in Smallville. No wonder Jon Kent had a heart attack.

    Slapshot 2. But in fairness it was purchased in a set with the original for the same price as one DVD.

    Worst album/song? Looks like I've got something from Wilco on there, inexplicably. [/ducking]

    Worst movie? "Nothing But Trouble."

    Worst book? "The Sportswriter" by Richard Ford. Wanted to claw my eyes out after each chapter. Lasted 100 pages and finally called it quits.

    Break Point, a murder mystery set at Wimbledon, author Ilie Nastase.
    Also, I can't find it now, and it may be packed up in the attic as many of our books are, but Fran Tarkenton wrote (allegedly) a murder mystery set at a Super Bowl. It was realistic in that the team for which the thinly disguised Tarkenton protagonist played lost. It was, in fact, way worse than Nastase's book.

    C'mon, the Ed Wood movies were classics.

    I love UHF. It's so dumb it's hilarious. We used to watch it all the time in college.
