I’m neglectful, but I’m also Indiana Jones

[ Mood: Happy ]
I’m in Utah hiking around for 10 hours/day looking for archaeological sites, kind of like Indiana Jones, only legal and ethical and less concerned about bad guys.

My internet connection is sketchy at best, unfortunately, which is limiting my ability to watch and ponder bad movies. As, of course, is hiking around all day in the heat, but that is beside the point.

I have seen a few um, special? movies in the past long-period-of-time that I haven’t been posting. Unfortunately, all but a couple were in the form of Mystery Science DVD movie nights, and those speak for themselves. Non MST3K movies, which could have been MST3Ked, just not watched in that format by myself, include The Ruins, something called Star Odyssey, and The Killer Shrews.

Almost anything with Yanti Sommer in it is going to be an unfortunate experience, but I think that my particular memory of Star Odyssey has been shoved deep into the recesses of the darkest parts of my mind. All I really remember is being confused, then more confused, then wondering who/what the blue/green guy was, then twitching uncontrollably. This movie is not for the weak and is best viewed with emotional and mental support.

For all of its drawbacks, I must credit The Ruins with having an interesting villain. I really wish that archaeological sites had that much protection. I would plant that thing every time I recorded a site that could be prone to looting.

A review of The Killer Shrews will be coming shortly. And by shortly, I mean within the next month or so
