It's confession time. Embarrassing weakness, penchant for...
Cheap disaster movies! *Shake monitor now* The end of the world is nigh!!
It may be an earthquake.. or comets or.. tonights feature, the near miss of the asteriod which has *scary dramatic music* REVERSED THE MAGNETIC POLES!! Random electronic shockwaves frying anyone using that horrible 20th century curse - electricity!!! OOOoooo AAahhhhh..
It took a while before I began to encourage Lou to watch these with me. I knew she'd think me a loon, question my taste completely. They're so unbelievable, with the funniest special effects. The actors take themselves too seriously .. lol.. and it's hard to sell the entertaining aspects of watching one. But the thing that's great about them is their massive opportunity for a piss take.
The leading man always knows more that EVERYONE on the planet. He's usually estranged from the ex-wife or son and is reconciled with them after the planet has been saved. There's the 'throwaway', someone they introduce you to, make you like, then they kill off to make you sad. You get the mad looters or crazy yee-hawing backwater militia. The army guys who like to think they know what they're doing, the very voice of authority, who really don't know their asses from a gigantic asteriod hole in the ground..
Tonight's feature has fake Russian submariners. They smoke like dis.. *drag on ciggy* show teeth *inhale THROUGH teeth* as 'real' Russians always do. Fucking AWFUL accents too, LOL
and ooooo, volcanoes UNDER the sea!!!
There's near certain death for the saviors of the world, who pause a moment to smile at the beauty they are soon to obliterate with the only possible solution to every disaster - a NUCLEAR WARHEAD (of course).
Impossibly, they outrun the blast that was sure to kill them... by driving the sub straight into one of the underwater volcanoes.. or the forest service truck into the abandoned mine...
AND SAVE THE WORLD!!!
(lmao)
Please, tell me I'm not the only one to indulge in this ridiculous opportunity to rip shit to shreds??

I may have one up on you in the fact that it isn't movies for me as much as conspiracy theories, ghosts, and UFO documentaries and such. At least you are watching purely fictional entertainment. Me, I'm watching and thinking...is this real? No, that can't be real! Gasp...what if it is? LOL :)
