Subject: RE: BS: What Friends Do For Friends
I did ask for it, Kendall. And as a true friend, you gave me what I asked for. Even warned me that I didn't really want to see it.
This turkey makes Plan Nine look like an Oscar contender! For example: Dr. Malverna Practice runs the research center and the local newsman is a Howard Cosell rip-off. Tongue is planted firmly in cheek throughout. But 95% of the movie is badly filmed rock videos with sound quality that leaves the question of talent unanswered. Big on noise...the lobsters turn ugly whenever they hear rock and roll. And the finale is a rip-off of Jaws II with people running around a beach eating huge chunks of lobster meat.
I swear to you that Kendall's voice over is the only redeeming feature of this extravaganza. Kendall's monlogue, in his matter of fact Maine accent, ties the whole mess together. Imagine Sir Lawrence Olivier telling the story of Monty Python and the Holy Grail as if it were absolute fact.
