Let me start by saying that I actually enjoyed this movie, and flat out cheered at one point during the climax (I do that, shut up). Also, I know almost nothing about actual polygamy, but then again I don't think the people who made this movie do either.

Guys, this is LONG, seriously, and I apologize. Also, trigger warnings for mentions of rape, suicide, and spousal abuse.

Ready? Then it's time toEscape From Polygamy! )


Answer to last Monday's song: Mirror, by Justin Timberlake. No one guessed this, which surprises me.
Andrew and I are watching Escape from Polygamy on Lifetime. Why? Not really sure.

So far no one has succeeded in escaping polygamy, unless you count the girl who died in childbirth, or the boy who got kicked out and left in the middle of nowhere. We still have 40 minutes left, but this chick has been so stupid for so long that I don't have great faith in her ability to escape.



Answer to last Saturday's song: Holding Out For A Hero, by either Bonnie Tyler or Jennifer Saunders. [livejournal.com profile] becofoz and [livejournal.com profile] wizardelfgirl got this one right.
In a similar vein from my last post, I believe that Brendan Frasier should win some sort of award for being in not one but TWO completely unnecessary, overly CGI-ed, adventure epics in a single summer.



Oh Brendan, you poor poor (attractive) sap. You're better than this, you really are. If you believe it, America will too.

Today I would like to bring you a new segment on this journal, the Super Stellar Acting Awards!

This week's winner is the movie Croc, brought to you by Sci-Fi Channel. (Seriously, the acting was SUPER STELLAR. Especially on the part of the bad guys, who all sounded like they were reading off cue cards.)

Croc also wins this week's Implausibility Award, for the scene where the crocodile eats the guy in his pool. (I don't know about you, but I am perfectly capable of seeing to the bottom of an ABSOLUTELY CLEAR pool, even at night, especially when it has LIGHTS IN IT. And I'm also pretty sure that even without the lights, I would notice a 20 FOOT CROCODILE in my pool. They're kind of hard to hide, even in cloudy water.)

Completing its triple threat status, Croc takes home one more award this week, the Sheer Stupidity Award. This goes to the characters who went hunting the 20 foot crocodile 1. with a PISTOL 2. in an INFLATABLE RAFT and 3. with SCUBA gear. (Honestly people, there's stupidity, and then there's SHEER stupidity. How stupid do you have to be to go SCUBA diving with a huge man-eating crocodile? Award-winningly stupid, that's how stupid.)

Though I do have to give Croc points for the cave full of partially-gnawed, bloody body parts at the end. That was creepy, and they actually didn't look fake.


Tune in next week for another winner!
