Disaster movies anyone?

[cabenson]

So I have this thing for disaster movies. Or "End of the world as we know it" flicks. My love, for lack of a better word, began in the 70's with the "Airport" series, followed by "The Towering Inferno," "Earthquake" and of course, "The Poseidon Adventure". As special effects improved, I made it my life's goal to watch every cheesy-assed, badly written made for TV movie that I could. This brings us to tonight;s offering: "10.5: Apocolypse"

I could barely watch it. The CGI was CGlame, the writing was horrible (I know theses films are supposed to be bad, but really!, and the cast?! Where do I begin?

Oliver Hudson- you will never be your mother, your sister, ot by gawd, even your father. The Hudson Brothers were more entertaining to watch than you can ever hope to be.

Melissa Sue Anderson- she acts as though she were still playing a blind Mary Ingalls from Little House.... That was thirty damn years ago! Learn a new trick.

And my biggest disappointment? The formerly hawt Kim Delaney. Girl, take some advise from a person who likes a drink or two now and then: Put! The! Bottle! Down!! You are more bloated than Star Jones after a hot-dog eating contest. Get some help, no wait, Get some MORE help!

And this was just the first half of the movie.... Thank god for fanfic ;)

We watched about 5 minutes of this atrocity before I finally broke down and begged Mrs. THI to TURN THE DAMN CHANNEL. Like you, she loves a good disaster movie. I, however, am usually bored stiff, even when watching "good" ones (the ones from the 70s are camp classics, and I give them their proper due).

Did you see the Poseidon remake yet?

We are hoping to see it this weekend if I don't have to work the holiday ;(

Man. I used to love Kim Delaney back in her NYPD Blue days (which had the obvious bonus of being able to see her nekkid *titters*)

I need pictures now. *hunts Internet*

I happened to flick over to this piece of "entertainment" just as the guy and the girl on the ski lift bit the dust (so to speak) and they showed Kim Delaney a few times. It took me a second to figure out who she was, 'cause I recognized her, but couldn't quite place her. Then, when I did, it was very much, "Oh. OH! Gah!"

You're not the only one on my friends list talking about how bad this movie was/is... I'm half sad that I missed the first half, but there was hockey to watch ;)

Oh, man. Word I didn't watch 10.5 or whatever it's called, but I was truly mortified by the brief clip of Delaney in the previews. Sososcary and sad. Kim has gone the way of Kathleen Turner.
