movies, and how they are stories.

so, a group of us (sorry everyone, there weren't enough letters to evenly link so starsandthemoon got an entire word. love you~) got together today to watch the worst movie EVAR best movie in the world: mega shark vs. giant octopus.

now, let me start this off by saying that i personally knew it would be bad, it was pimped badly on livejournal. i think i let everyone else know this, and maybe we all knew this because of the faces of the actors on the box just tipped us off. like a lot. additionally, actor credits are le horrible. 'cuz lorenzo lamas is just a horrible person and he honestly said (to the japanese character): don't worry, we're not taking you to manzanar. which is absopositively horrible, and america just sucks.

anyway, we all tromped over to kayla's house to watch this thing trainwreck brain-numbing mush movie. people, watch it. watch it with friends to make it better. we made so much commentary that we didn't even know what was really happening. for instance, there was a scene where the characters suddenly decided to make out, and we didn't even know. like, seriously. there was no context, no nothing aside from a sketchy porno night that we deemed happened ourselves. and by ourselves, i mean that i kinda yelled that and we decided it was so. and then, ace hannah (being the genious director he is) decided to make the characters do the nasty. (but not onscreen, 'cuz that's icky and like the matrix.) once again, no context aside from the fact that the two characters got horny in the laboratory because they were doing chemistry junk (which was really pouring water with different food coloring in it together) and then decided, hey, we're doing chemistry, oh wait, we're doing chemistry and we have chemistry so let's snog and make babbies but in all reality this was just a device for them to realize that they could lure giant animals into largely populated bays with pheromones! and they had to have sex to realize this! (and the pheromones were a glow-in-the-dark green. go figure.)

anyways. my point. right.
there was no flow in the movie. horrid transitions, even more horrible storyline. but, i really think this could've been a slightly more decent movie with just better everything. and by everything, i mean everything that we've learned to do in our class as we've learned how to write fiction. ('cuz that movie, people, is pure fiction. i'm pretty sure we won't find a megalodon cryogenically preserved in a glacier up near alaska.) and my final comment about it is that it falls into the category of "so bad that it's good."
