Great Movie Lines
Every now and then a movie comes along with a truly unforgettable line. Clint Eastwood with "Make my Day" and of course the many great lines in star wars "use the force Luke." Well on Tuesday I saw a movie with a line even better than any of these. On Tuesday I went and saw Poseiden. Just to put the line in context let me fill you in with what had occured in the movie just before the line. A packed cruise ship on new years has been hit with a rogue wave. As a result the ship is turned over and is slowly filling with water. A small group of people are trying to escape through what was the bottom of the ship. One of the group has just been impaled on a spike of metal and crushed by a falling elevator. It is this point when the line is said. One of the girls in the group says "Are things bad?" Hm. The ship is upside down and filling with water, a bloke has just died rather gruesomely and she needs to ask this question. I would love to have been the character answering this question. But alas the character in the movie responds with "Things are bad." Who wrote this? A tip. If you loved the original do not go and see the new version. The only resemblance to the original is that the boat turns upside down. The worst movie I have seen since King Kong.
