Heavy-handed: Adjective.Clumsy; awkward; tactless; indiscreet; oppressive; harsh.Because I lost a bet with the readers of our sister site, I'm prohibited from ever mentioning Paul Haggis' motherfucking Oscar-winning
Crash on Pajiba again, which is a shame, because the news out today is that
Starz has decided to run a 13-part mini-series based on the movie, the network's first original drama series. You know what that means, right? Thirteen goddamn hours of heavy-handedness. Thirteen hours of beat you over the head pseudo-intellectual crap. Thirteen hours of oppressive, grade-school morality. I officially know what hell would be like now -- and it would be 13-hours on a loop.
Agreed. I died a little when Forrest Gump won everything, but recovered, but after Crash won... I don't know, dude, I just don't know. I'm really afraid, now, that Atonement will sweep. Rationally, I know it won't. But the fear is there.
You want to make Paul Haggis sh!t blood? Hum the Facts of Life theme in his presence.
