You know, there was this dumb gorefest film in a claustrophic setting that counted Samuel L. Jackson among its stars and scary animals as the nemesis.  It was called "Deep Blue Sea".  It sucked and it did poorly.  Now we have "Pacific Air 121", with all the same core qualities, except this time it's been hyped to death, given a stupid yet catchy title, and somehow you people think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.  It isn't.  It's still a stupid movie.  The whole "so dumb it's fun" thing has been done to death by pro wrestling, Norm McDonald, and the Bush Administration.  So if that's what you like, sure, go watch the movie.  But let's not pretend that somehow this dumb movie is better than other dumb movies.  I didn't see you people lining up to go watch "Dungeons & Dragons", after all.

Ah, but you see, you don't actually have to watch it, unlike all those times that the Bush (and previously, Clinton) administration smashed down your door, strapped you to a seat and held your eyeballs open to make you watch Deep Blue Sea.

But seriously, I don't think it's about the movie so much as it's about the hype and interaction. I doubt I heard more than one word in two last night over the ribaldry. What made it so much fun was that the movie didn't take itself seriously (*cough* Deep Blue Sea) and the crowd was active and making it fun.

Plus it's the best motherfucking dumb movie ever.

Now you're making me think of a slasher film starring John Ashcroft and Janet Reno.

[therobbergirl.livejournal.com]

Whew.

I read that first as "slash film starring John Ashcroft and Janet Reno".

Well, there HAS to be a sex scene of some sort.

Oh no there doesn't.

If John Ashcraft shows us his tits, I'm leaving.
