woman sues over movie "Drive" for not having enough driving

A Michigan woman has filed a lawsuit over the film “Drive.” Was it because that delightful Ryan Gosling failed to adequately charm her? Please, let’s not talk crazy.

Was she mad when, halfway through the movie, she realized she wasn’t watching “Drive Angry 3D”? Actually, you’re getting warmer.

According to a report from Detroit TV station WDIV, found via Gawker, a woman named Sarah Deming filed the suit against both Film District, the studio that distributed “Drive,” and Emagine Novi, the company that operates the multiplex where she, apparently, really did not enjoy seeing “Drive.”

She claims that the trailer for the film misled the public by implying that “Drive” would be a joy ride a la “The Fast and the Furious.” Instead, as court documents note, Deming discovered that there is “very little driving in the motion picture.” The suit also suggests that the movie is filled with anti-Semitism.

2. Good luck. I was unsuccessful in my suit about Chariots of Fire

There were no chariots or fires in that movie.

6. Well, You Filed Wrong

I saw a guy light a pipe. So there was fire. You should have just filed about the chariots. Then you might have won!

8. No Country For Old Men

The line "That is no country for old men" comes from Yeats' Sailing to Byzantium, but there was nothing Byzantine about this movie. There wasn't any sailing, in fact there weren't any boats! It turned out to be a shoot-em-up Western. Boy, was I disappointed.



Sailing to Byzantium? No Way


I
That is no country for old men. The young
In one another's arms, birds in the trees
---Those dying generations---at their song,
The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas,
Fish, flesh, or fowl commend all summer long
Whatever is begotten, born, and dies.
Caught in that sensual music all neglect
Monuments of unaging intellect.

II
An aged man is but a paltry thing,
A tattered coat upon a stick, unless
Soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing
For every tatter in its mortal dress,
Nor is there singing school but studying
Monuments of its own magnificence;
And therefore I have sailed the seas and come
To the holy city of Byzantium.

III
O sages standing in God's holy fire
As in the gold mosaic of a wall,
Come from the holy fire, perne in a gyre,
And be the singing-masters of my soul.
Consume my heart away; sick with desire
And fastened to a dying animal
It knows not what it is; and gather me
Into the artifice of eternity.

IV
Once out of nature I shall never take
My bodily form from any natural thing,
But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make
Of hammered gold and gold enamelling
To keep a drowsy Emperor awake;
Or set upon a golden bough to sing
To lords and ladies of Byzantium
Of what is past, or passing, or to come.
