‘On A Boat Ride Down The Spiral Of A Flushing Toilet’

One of the many reasons I <8 Big Stupid Tommy.

I wear trifocals and I only got sick twice. Now stop it.

I like BST’s movie reviews. And I like this one of Cloverfield very much.

I like the movie. Muchly. Mostly because it’s the disaster movie I’ve been waiting for all my life. It’s the one where all the important characters die. I think the only thing that could have topped it would be to finish the flick with a shot of the Cloverfield Monster punching its way to the center of the planet, and having the Earth explode as a result. I have no real defense as to enjoying the fact that everybody dies…a mere explanation that some days, I fall into that George Carlin line of thinking, where humanity’s on a boat ride down the spiral of a flushing toilet. As luck would have it, today was one of those days. So, no Hollywood “the good guys make it” ending. I heart that.

Yeah, BST is groovy.

    It pleases me to know that I have my own tag.

    It’s been pointed out that in the Perfect Storm, everybody dies.

    But, there are no dog-sized spider-shrimp in that movie. At least, that we can see.
