Christopher PaoliniTransformers: Revenge of the Fallen is beyond bad. It carves out its own category of godawfulness.

David HumeI like women who havenโt lived with too many men. I donโt expect virginity but I simply prefer women who havenโt been rubbed raw by experience.

Women who have had too many men seem to choose the next one out of revenge rather than with feeling.
