I post this primarily because I think [livejournal.com profile] noizangel will get a kick out of it. The Onion's AV Club reviews Joe Eszterhas' Die, Hollywood, Die!.

The review is amusing, detailing as it does Eszterhas roman candle like exit from the Hollywood scene.

I watched Showgirls for about 10 minutes on Saturday night. I was really interested in it for a while, but then I wasn't interested anymore. A little later, I became interested in it again, but then I wasn't interested again.

Does anyone have a link to the "no duh" piece where they discussed how Indiana Jones destroying an ancient temple to recover a gold figure is bad archeology?

BREAKING: EGREGIOUS TESTICLE ASSAULT AT ONION OFFICES

Seattle, WA -- An unknown assailant burst into the offices of the Onion and has punched every identifiably male staff member in the testes. This reporter was only spared due to being a woman, although he paused to offer this terrifying statement when he saw my desk nameplate:

"You're the one that wrote that shitty article about the bus crash! You're not funny! NONE OF YOU ARE FUNNY! Now where's that A.V. Club asshole?"

The individual, who burst in wearing a Ronald Reagan mask and a blue unitard, has yet to be identified. Several Onion staffers are in the hospital with serious testicular injuries. Police investigations have been hampered by police incompetence, complaining that Onion staffers are "tiresomely sarcastic even through immense pain" and unprofessionally stating "Man, if your newspaper is anything like talking to these losers, I hope this guy kicked hard enough to make them sterile."

The sole remaining clue is a box of novels by some English guy named P.G. Wodehouse, who Onion staffers have never heard of and do not find funny.
