Movies that suck.

My wife and daughter and daughter's boyfriend had some notion of going out to see a movie together. But there really weren't any movies that all four of us were willing to see.

In the end, Daughter and Boyfriend really wanted to see The Pyramid, a horror flick about archeologists in Egypt, even if they had to go without us.

My wife and I are not into that genre, to say the least, so we figured they could go by themselves.

But then I checked out the reviews. They were just amazing!

So I went along.

We had a very wide choice of seats, since almost nobody else showed up.

And the movie lived up (or down) to its reviews.

I actually walked out after about the first half hour, and sat outside reading about 19th century debates over slavery in Congress. Every few minutes, I would come back into the auditorium to see how the characters were doing. And I happened to be watching when the movie unexpectedly ended and the credits rolled.

Spoiler: there are no survivors.

 

Or horrible, horrible technical advising that leads to constant shark-jumping.

The Hurt Locker is a prime example.

 

Well, don´t see Whithout a Paddle. It´s painful to watch.
