Tara Reid: World Renowned Archeologist

[resk]

If those 5 words don’t convince you to stay far, far away from Alone in the Dark, perhaps these 5 words will: She doesn’t even get naked.

So why did I see this movie? The answer is simple: DVD Rental reimbursement (tree-fitty), $20, and CDRs of every Johnny Cash CD in k_sui’s collection (which total 6). Pursuant to this deal, I am writing a 1,500 word

I sat up straight in my chair and applauded the moment I saw the title of this post. Oh, how I have waited for this.

I think my favorite Complete Fuckup in that film (there are many, but I remember this one clearly) is at the very end. Dorff sets up a satchel charge to blow the Evil Lab and Evil Gateway to fuck all. Great. Good thinking. He then throws the satchel into the Evil Gateway. Very good, sir. Smart move. Just before the cheesy cg explosion sequence, the camera pans back through the Evil Lab and there, right there on the floor in the center of the goddamn shot, is the same satchel charge that he just tossed. Right where it fucking started. Awesome continuity. Stellar editing. A+++

And Tara Reid is a SCIENTIST!

If you like continuity goofs, watch "This Christmas" for this sequence alone: Chris Brown's character, Baby, gets a camera for Christmas, including a bright yellow neck strap. Watch the scene in the kitchen, as the camera and neck strap disappear and reappear every time the camera cuts.

Perhaps, just perhaps, it's like some totem that you try and get rid of but keeps coming back? To haunt the rest of your days? Until you can gove it to someone else? Or something?

[clayfoot]

Or use it in a sequel?

[k_sui]

EXACTLY.

[ikkarus01]

Like the Tiki idol in the Brady Bunch?

[k_sui]

EXACTLY! Now all we need is a tarantula and Vincent Price in a cave and Tara Reid to hurt her back in a hula hoop contest.
