:: Today's soundtrack: The Who "Substitute" ::
Ok, so maybe I got a little carried away with my feelings on last week's rant. This one is a more happy-go-lucky-feel-good type, in an attempt to not look so serious.
Signs that movie you're about to see might suck (a couple of these I'm "borrowing" from the cartoon show The Critic, because I happen to agree. The rest I'm making up right now.).
Is it based on an old TV show?
Does it give French Stewart or Lou Diamond Phillips above title billing?
Is it a remake of a classic?
Is the director's only previous directing experience for music videos?
Is Joe Piscopoe present in it an any capacity?
Is said movie The Last Days of Disco?
Is the movie part 4 of what was supposed to be a trilogy?
Does it have Chevy Chase and a dog in it?
Is there an actor you recognize starring opposite a dog/chimp/baboon/precocious child?
Is it an "odd numbered" Star Trek movie?
Is it live action and there are talking animals in it?
Is this movie directed by Roger Corman?
Well these aren't all the questions you should ask yourself before seeing a movie, but they're a start. And remember: "If the movie stinks just don't go!"
