Worst Movie Ever?
Hi, hi, hi!
Ocean cataclysm, week five: Well, they put that mile-long pipe down in the oil-filled hole in the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, and it seems to be working, but, unfortunately for the rest of us, the oil is still leaking out, and from what I've been hearing, the leak is a lot worse than many of us thought it was. And now, BP (which now seems to stand for Betraying the Population rather than for British Petroleum) is spraying some kind of toxic substance across the Gulf of Mexico, they say it's to help break down the oil that's coming to the surface, but if you ask me, I say that the cure is much worse than the illness. I've also been hearing that the oil coming out of the bottom of the ocean is just as toxic as the stuff they're spraying on the surface of the ocean. So, if you ask me, and even if you didn't, it's beginning to look like it's the end of the line for the ocean species of the Gulf region of this country, as well as the rest of us, because what affects the ocean life, will eventually affect the rest of us on top of dry land as well.
Oh well, in much happier news, the end of another school year is almost upon us! And that means, summer vacation's almost here! Yes! It will soon be time for all us kids (and our teachers) to take a much-needed break, and try to forget about all that's been going on in the world this year, with the oil rig exploding and sinking and consequent oil well rupture, with all the airplane crashes (the latest being this past weekend in India, with about 160 or so dead), with the earthquakes and the volcanoes, and, the unkindest cut of all, the end of the TV show Lost tonight (I, for one, will sorely miss this weekly combination of Giligan's Island and Twilight Zone). Another thing you can check out this summer, and only if you're really into this sort of thing, is the 1989 movie Troll 2, which many people have actually called the worst movie ever made (up until Troll 2, Plan 9 From Outer Space was named the worst movie ever made, which, if you think about it, should tell you something about Troll 2 right then and there). There's even a documentary about it, called, quite naturally, Best Worst Movie, which is quite funny (the documentary as well as the campy thriller it's about). OK, so it's not exactly Gone with the Wind, and there's much more interesting things to do with an hour and a half of your life, unless, of course, it's raining very hard outside or your car broke down and you can't go anywhere, but if in the event that either one of those things happen, Troll 2 is a good movie to watch, while you're doing something else. So if you have to catch up on your ironing, or if you want to finally try making that homemade cake from scratch, than this is the perfect movie to pop into your DVD player, of course, when your car is on the blink, and it's raining cats and dogs outside.
Well, that's all for this week. Until next time, be well, stay well, and don't forget to help the earthquake survivors!
Sincerely,
Marley Sue
