So, I've found this website, TV Links, which is a British site, and it has hundreds of episodes of all kinds of TV shows, cartoons, anime, and movies too. A lot of it is recent; the really recent stuff all has subtitles. I guess that's how they get away with posting it on the internet. I was bored and browsing the list of movies to see if there was anything interesting, and there it was.
Cube.
Kim told me about this movie and it sounded pretty lame. "There's these people, and they're trapped in this maze, and all the rooms are cubes, but they're booby-trapped and stuff! And they have to escape! It's so awesome!" "Wow, sounds pretty stupid." "YOU'RE stupid! Cube is the best movie ever!!" "Really? Cause Audra said she saw it and it sucked, and she couldn't believe there was a sequel." "Your friends don't know anything! They probably like Sandra Bullock!" And so forth.
Eventually I looked it up on Wikipedia and it still sounded like it probably was a piece of shit movie, although it's got some good math in it, and good math is automatically a couple of bonus points. But there are good movies, and movies that are so bad they swing back around into awesome, but Cube didn't sound like it would swing back around. The sequel is called Cube 2: Hypercube, for God's sake. Plus, I probably would never find it anywhere.
Now I'm bored, and looking for something to watch, and there it is. Staring me in the face, and I won't have to pay for it, and there are no excuses this time. So...I watched it. And it pains me to say this.
It didn't totally suck ass.
Let me make it perfectly clear that it is NOT the best movie ever, and as I suspected it was bad but not awesomely bad. I mean, it wasn't as awesomely bad as Snakes on a Plane, but it was better than Pulp Fiction. (Yes, I hated Pulp Fiction, I turned it off in the middle. I was bored.) The math thing was cool and the characters were kind of crazy so it was interesting. And now after years of mocking Kim for liking this movie I have to admit it's not the worst movie ever, which is what I had been telling her. But, I am going to be a big person and admit that I was wrong about Cube totally sucking.
