Herbie Fully Loaded

There is a famous journalistic legend about the time a young reporter covered the Johnstown flood of 1889. The kid wrote: “God sat on a hillside overlooking Johnstown today and looked at the destruction He had wrought.” His editor cabled back: “Forget flood. Interview God.” —Roger EbertHerbie Fully Loaded (Sun Times)

Yes, I admit I was reading what Roger Ebert had to say about the recent Herbie move.

But that journalism anecdote was news to me.

    As Ebert noted, a totally formulaic and cheesy "g1rl P0w3r" movie.
