I detest immaturity and stupidity, both of which, unfortunately, I have found run rampant on these boards. I won't waste my time reading such ridiculous bullshit more than once...so I find myself putting quite a lot of people on ignore.
I have no use for people who are so close-minded that they are unable and/or unwilling to accept that other people have their own opinions--and *gasp* guess what? They might disagree with you!
I love to laugh. If you can make me laugh, you're in.
I do have a dark, edgy sense of humor though.

The Aftermath (1982)
This Movie Put Me To Sleep
Actually, I grew up with Laura Barkett (Steve's daughter) who was but a wee tot in the movie (those of you who remember the line "this one's for Laura" before Steve offs a villain)--well, that's about the only memorable thing this movie had for me. One night in 1983, I was spending the night at Laura Barkett's house (in Oklahoma; her mom & her dad, Steve, were divorced & he lived in Cali making low-budget, weak-scripted movies that he threw his kids into for fun) and although at that age (11) was an apocalyptic movie NOT up my alley, I agreed to watch it with Laura because she was in it, after all; so was her older brother Chris, and of course, her dad was the one who MADE the movie. I lasted about 20 minutes into the movie. But I do remember being awakened toward the end by Laura telling me "You have to see this part! He says my name!" Hence, the "this one's for Laura" line. Sure, it was interesting seeing my 6th grade best friend and her older brother in a real live MOVIE, and although I was just 11 when I watched it (at least the parts I didn't sleep through), I just don't think I could sit thru it again--except to fast-forward to the parts where Laura and Chris are shown, since I actually KNOW them. The special effects weren't very special, and frankly, I was bored to tears. But hey--judge it for yourself. Frankly, I'd be surprised if it's still AVAILABLE on video. Steve Barkett would've been better off making home movies as a hobby.
Twister (1996)
Not Bad at All!
As someone who has lived in Oklahoma and southern Kansas her entire life, I admittedly found myself watching this movie from the perspective of a person who has experienced countless severe thunderstorms and tornadoes (including the infamous May 3, 1999 F-5 that went through the OKC area.) Which means I found it difficult to watch without noticing the many inaccuracies and factual errors in the film. But for the person who is unfamiliar with the goings-on in Tornado Alley, and/or for someone who just wants to watch a lot of stuff being blown apart, you'll probably enjoy it more than I did. Overall, I think they did a good job with this movie though. If you can watch it with an open mind (I had a hard time doing that), you'll get more out of it. I do recommend seeing it.
Dirty Work (1998)
Keep an open mind and sense of humor, and you'll love it!
I actually have newfound respect for Bob Saget after seeing this movie (as well as his cameo in "Half-Baked" with the great line: "I've sucked dick for coke. Have you ever sucked dick for marijuana?!") This movie was obviously not made with the intention of racking up a bunch of awards, but we found it hilarious nonetheless. It has some great scenes in it, great lines (Mitch: "I've made up my mind, I'm going to tell Sam..." --Pops grabs him by the balls-- "...or NOT...AAAAHH!"), and if you like Norm MacDonald, you'll love this movie. It's full of his "note to self" one-liners as well as his general humor. The plot itself, although I found it to contain a lot of holes (which is why I say keep an open mind while you watch it), is quite funny. Highly recommended!
