How bad is Fantastic Four? So bad that in desperation execs have resorted to trying to spin it as a “funny family action film,” as one studio rep put it. It’s the Kangaroo Jack strategy: When your dumb, trashy film clearly isn’t good enough for adolescents, let alone adults, reposition it as a kiddie flick. It’s an insult to family audiences. Our kids deserve better than Hollywood’s garbage.

I recently purchased a DVD player. I'm a little slow upgrading technology. (Note: I originally wrote this in 2001. I'm not THAT slow). I'm not really big into spending my time watching TVs and movies, but it is nice to sit down and pick a decent movie to watch once in a while. And, certainly, digital video is of significantly higher quality that a videotape. Better sound, better picture.

Now, I'll have to build my DVD collection. I've decided to build a library of some of the best movies of all time. Movies that have won awards. Movies that display the finest in acting, directing, writing, etc. Movies that have set the standard in quality entertainment. Movies such as Citizen Kane, Casablanca, The Shawshank Redemption, Dumb and Dumber, Napoleon Dynamite........

How could you not like a movie containing the following brilliant dialogue...?

Deb: What are you drawing?
Napoleon Dynamite: A liger.
Deb: What's a liger?
Napoleon Dynamite: It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic.

And music videos.

I love music. Good, quality music. Like Weird Al. And his videos are the BEST. Such genius. Such originality. Such subtle humor.

Ah, DVDs are a wonderful thing, aren't they?



That "Crouching Tiger" movie . . . . . . I didn't get it. It won all these awards because it was such a GREAT movie. The critics loved it. I'm sorry. I thought the effects were "Cheesy" and the story line (what little story line there was) was pathetic. A good rule of thumb is this: If the critics love the movie, it's probably garbage; If the critics hate the movie, it may be worth watching.
