"Firestorm" on Discovery

[Dr.Jass]

Wow, what a screaming heap of dung this movie is... the only characters worth caring about are gone in the first 10 minutes, and you kind of root for the fire after that, since everyone in the movie seems to be a complete jackass. Add to that truly crappy special effects and no character development to get you to care about anyone as well as a half-assed, undeveloped "love" backstory and it's really a waste of your time, never mind the actors' and the network's.

At the "critical moment" in the movie, they're yelling "100 yards!" in reference to the fire's distance from the firefighters setting up a backburn; apparently Yellowstone has got 150-foot-tall firefighters and some crazy 120-foot-gauge railroad widths.

Two hours of my life spent waiting for it to get the least bit worthwhile, and it never did.

So, since they'll re-run it 200 times in the next month I figured I'd warn y'all ahead of time. I've repeatedly seen better movies on MST3K.

No thanks... the last movie I saw in a theater was "Enemy at the Gates." I don't do movie theaters anymore; with the postage-stamp-sized screens these days and the ridiculous admission, it's gotta be something really special for me to drop the coin. Besides, thinking about paying for a movie reminded me that I have seen a worse movie than "Firestorm", and one I paid seven bucks for: "The Blair Witch Project." Talk about a piece of shit.

Sadly, "Clerks 2" isn't being played around here and I've not seen a preview for anything else remotely interesting in quite some time.

I HATE Hollywood. Hollywood should sink into the Pacific. There hasn't been a decent film out of that town in decades. Not that I'm some French Film watching fag... but I can't handle the movies anymore... either too predictable or so badly researched they make me gag or so badly written they make me want to puke and slurp it back up so the taste of stomach acid takes my mind off the horrible script... you get the idea.

Can't say I'm a huge fan, but at least Robert Rodriguez has shown that good movies (Sin City) can be made without the Hollywood machine.

Actually venturing out into a movie theater to be assaulted by a gaggle of morons talking on cell phones, getting up to buy another vat of Coke ( I guess 90 minutes is too long to go without consuming 64 ounces of sugar water) AND paying 9 bucks on top of that is like asking me to pay someone to ram a pointy stick in my eye.
