Is it just me or does Pauly Shore suck?
I started watching a really stupid movie, "Guest House" and I was amazed at his total lack of talent. Is he this bad in everything? I couldn't finish the movie it was so bad.

Harker
(16,241 posts)My loathing goes back to his MTV days of the late 80s, and the occasional guest spot or preview since.
He's one of many reasons I only use my TV to watch carefully selected films and ice hockey.
