Quality Programming?
May. 1st, 2009 08:43 pmI was just commenting to my husband earlier tonight how, these days, kids' movies are made so that the adults who have to watch them can actually enjoy them. I reference movies such as Shrek or Cars (hehe, tractor tipping). Anyway, so, the Kid and I watched a movie tonight and I must say . . .
This movie? Not one of those.
The main villains were Loni Anderson as "Medusa" (and she spent some of her screen time in a nun costume, of all things) and Jim Varney as "Lothor" (lame-o evil villain name? Check!), accompanied by the typical inept sidekicks, a "Jamaican" with a ridiculously poor accent, and a smattering of ninjas, none of whom looked even remotely Asian. The heros were Hulk Hogan as "Dave Dragon" (wearing red tights), and a group of caucasian kids whose ninja training by their Japanese grandfather allowed them to beat up the adult villainous ninjas without hardly breaking a sweat. Oh, and of course, the kids managed to save the day when the FBI and the SWAT couldn't.
I tell you, not the most entertaining 90 minutes I've had recently.
In other news, I spent most of my day painting my basement and thinking up plot points for fan fiction while I did so. I only have one more room to paint and that'll be that . . . until we get started on trim and flooring *grumbles*
