Things No One Should Have To See...

"Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus".But Mojo is ill, the kids were bored and restless, and this filled two hours that would otherwise have been spent fighting and whining with the sort of appalled silence that normally greets really frightful traffic accidents.

The odd thing is that Deborah (who was "Debbie" when she was an idol singer back in the late 80's and early 90's) wasn't the worst part of the thing (Lorenzo Lamas was). She was actually bearable - it was the "special effects" that were beyond cheesy. Although the shark biting the airliner out of the sky was utterly spectacular in a headshake kind of way.

Oh, and the hot Asian guy and Deborah thrashed the...well, not the mattress...linoleum in the supply room between monster attacks, making it the only non-martial-arts-movie where the Asian guy got any.

Joe Bob says no. Don't check it out - it REALLY isn't that good. But it sure is odd.

Sorry, no other blogging. Between kids and wife, no time. I was glad to see the Team-Formerly-Known-As-The-Baltimore-Colts lose to The-Team-Formerly-Known-As-The-Aints. Hopefully the imps charged with roasting Bob Irsay over Hell's hottest fire paused to giggle and chant "Colts lose! Colts Lose!" before basting him with battery acid once more.

I need to get some sleep myself. More tomorrow, I promise.

Okay, I watched the trailer and immediately erased it from my memory as it was so bad that it threatened my sanity.

You sat through 2 hours of this? I've frequently suspected that you're one of the toughest men I know and this confirms it.

If you got into the right spirit it had its compensations; there were parts that were so awful you couldn't help but laugh. And there were some awesome bits of dialogue...

But it was pretty demanding, yeah. Parenting can be a full-contact sport at times...
