For some reason tonight I wanted to watch a disaster movie. Clearly not Towering Inferno, which I did see when it was released, before I lived in a tower, and I've seen Poseidon. Perhaps I should have watched Snakes on a Plane, or rewatched the original Jaws. This is possibly to avoid hearing anymore about our own Australian disaster of a couple of days ago. I feel emotionally drained.
I consulted the oracle, aka Google, for a good disaster film, and I chose 2012. What a load of crap. I so want the featured family to die, and soon. The noise and loudness of the film is horrible, and I've turned it right down to a level where I cannot really hear the inane dialogue, but still it is loud.
Better that I again watched Shelley die on a ship.
I'm in a bit of a mood tonight. Can you tell?

When I need a break from reality, I watch sci-fi.
ReplyDeleteIt reads like the kind of weary irritation that comes from being emotionally overloaded
ReplyDeleteI can feel your pain. I am extremely stressed right now and want to curl up into a ball and hibernate.
ReplyDeleteNever ever ever watch a disaster film. Even if it is a good film, the impact on your brain will be disastrous.
ReplyDeleteWeve been not watching the "rolling "coverage, thank goodness the cricket starts today.
ReplyDeleteHow about the first Airport (1970)? Worth watching just to see Helen Hayes stowaway on that plane.
ReplyDeleteis that the one based on the book by whatshisname? Arthur Hailey.
DeleteChill out Andrew! Why the **** did you want to watch a disaster film anyway? Try following "Skote Outdoors" on YouTube.
ReplyDeleteI was in a stinking bad mood last night and I blamed a difficult interaction with my mother but maybe there were other factors.
ReplyDeleteI also ate a very large piece of cheesecake. I think we are all on a reassessment train right now
I always thought Snakes on a Plane was comedy, though I've never seen it. I remember liking Poseidon when I saw it. Towering Inferno too.
