Steve Watches Poseidon

No, not the Greek god of the seas, but rather the unnecessary remake of the 1972 disaster classic The Poseidon Adventure. Much as when I watched Next, I took notes. The best ones are below the cut; the full version available upon request.

My father was watching that a few months ago. I was unimpressed with what I saw and so I left him to watch it alone as I don't care for disaster flicks.

Best line:
22:57 Dear God of Electrical Water Hazards, please take the life of Emptysack DiSalvo. He is worthless and will probably get Kurt Russell killed before he can right the boat through sheer testicular density, amen.

If it's on, it's entertaining enough, but I wouldn't go out of my way or pay money for it (says the man who spent three hours watching it on a subscription service).

My favorite line was-

41:30 Kurt Russell's character used to be a firefighter and they keep referencing it, but I prefer to imagine they're all big fans of Backdraft.

You might like to hear this note I just read on IMDB.

"Josh Lucas was injured on set during underwater filming when Kurt Russell banged his flashlight into Lucas' head, injuring his eye."

So Kurt did get him for getting killed off on screen.
