I love that. I could see some wife trying to get her monster truck lovin’ husband to stay with the movie.

“There will be blood. Trust me.”

Also - The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

Yup. That’s about it.

Hmmm. Is it about lesbians who kill vampires, or people who kill lesbian vampires?  
Or lesbian vampires that kill?  
Or killing vampires on a Greek island?  
…

With all the fuss over _Argo_, it’s easy to forget Ben Affleck’s directorial debut, _ **I Killed My Lesbian Wife, Hung Her on a Meat Hook, and Now I Have a Three-Picture Deal at Disney** _.

No, [seriously](http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2010/09/03/ben_affleck_ashamed_of_film_i_killed_m). I can’t say whether it’s an _accurate_ description of the plot, but it’s certainly descriptive.
