The reputation of "Tremors" as the worst film ever was pumped up by Dave Swan on my recent visit west, and, thanks to JenEllen, I got to see it finally. Imagine my deep disappointment when it turned out to be a harsh, realistic portrayal of small town life in America, except for the giant man eating earthworms (themselves portrayed with elan and verve). The girl scientist was a particularly vicious indictment of science education in America ("they prefer Pleistocene alluvials, it says here in this "Geology for Dummies" book"). Reba McIntyre reminded me of no one so much as the young Katharine Hepburn, especially in the rec room scene. Has anyone seen Tremors II and III, and are they as excellent as Tremors?
