[Vision2020] Book Recomendations: Huskey vs. Courtney

Thu Mar 31 13:17:23 PST 2005

Carl,

I think that you owe me $4.28 for renting that movie. I cannot take 
enjoyment in a character that knows how to use diving equipment but does not 
know not to drink salt water. I do not think their being left behind was an 
accident.

I would not pay money to see Alien Vs. Predator. However, I would like to 
see Barney vs. Freddy or Elmo vs. Jason, maybe even South Park vs. Rugrats.

Take Care,

Donovan J Arnold

>>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,
