So, I’m watching the movie Earthquake and we have…. an earthquake. Let’s just say I’m not going to be watching Twister or Volcano anytime soon.
And can I just comment on the cheesiness of this movie? Apparently, all the men had to have on very high-waisted slacks, and then after the disaster, you might just discover an adorable, abandoned puppy nicely tucked into evenly cut strips of newspaper. Under a crumpled building. It could HAPPEN! People who tend to abandon puppies usually make sure they have a comfy, nicely lined bed.
I also love the creepy, girl-obsessed guy who likes to play the role of a soldier. Like, even if his act was so convincing, how in the HELL did he get in command of some rescue unit after all the chaos? Maybe he had the papers all ready, and was all “I was away on a Top Secret Mission. And that’s why you’ve never met me. But I’m in charge.” Plus, he’s wearing a wig. Is that supposed to be a disguise? Or just something creepy he does?
Okay, we just had another “aftershock” (in the movie) which decimated many of the people standing below the cracked and could-crumble-at-any-moment skyscraper. I’d do that too, run outside and stand near a very visibly impaired skyscraper.. Maybe with a downed power line nearby. If you’re going to be in disaster, you might as well make it a bit more exciting.
