[Vision2020] Book Recomendations: Huskey vs. Courtney

Thu Mar 31 13:04:53 PST 2005

Being the one who recommended "Open Water", I get the sense somehow, 
Donovan, that you have a slight disagreement with my admiration for said 
film.  Would it be fair to say that's true?  Or am I reading too much into 
this?  Have you seen "Alien vs. Predator"?  Possibly the greatest movie ever 
made.                                                                        

                                                   Carl Westberg Jr.

>OK, I rented the stupid movie "Open Water" because of a recommendation on 
>V2020 so I think recommendations on here are invalid.

>Open Water was one of the worst movies I have every seen. It was not even 
>"Revenge of the Toxic Avenger" or "Brady Bunch" bad, because even those 
>movies were funny because they were so bad.
>
>This movie insulted the intelligence of every one that watched it. The 
>acting was horrible and the characters had inconsistent personalities. The 
>first 25 minutes of the movie had nothing to do with the plot, story line, 
>or the remaining 55 minutes of the movie, you could just fast forward and 
>miss nothing.
>
>Even the production was bad in that you sometimes could not hear the person 
>speaking over the background noise when you were suppose to be able to.
>
>I would like to take the director of this movie and leave him out in the 
>open water so we do not have to deal with such a horrible waste of time and 
>money again.

>Take Care,
