realitybites 1174 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Politically Incorrect Guest" 11-15-04, 10:24 AM (EST) "Category 6: Day of Destruction" SCENE: CBS movie programming headquarters, May 2004. EXECUTIVE #1: Boy, that movie "10.5" on NBC did boffo ratings. EXECUTIVE #2: Yeah, and that "Day After Tomorrow" flick is going great guns at the box office. HEAD HONCHO: Any ideas for November sweeps? EXECUTIVE #3: (thinking out loud) Hmmm, disaster flick, miniseries, C-list stars, fast-moving script that doesn't make any sense... I think we can work with this. EXECUTIVE #2: Yeah! We can destroy a city with a tornado, hurricane, and a blizzard at the same time! EXECUTIVE #1: Yeah! Yeah! And let's throw in a blackout caused by hackers, to make a gratuitous social statement about electricity, or something. EXECUTIVE #3: All right! Let's demolish Chicago! I never liked that town anyway. HEAD HONCHO: Sounds good. Do we have an idea for the title? EXECUTIVE #2: I saw something on The Weather Channel about a Category 5 - so how about "Category 6"? (all heads nod) HEAD HONCHO: Okay. Let's do it. -------------------------------- Despite the obvious ripping off of several sources, and not making much sense besides, I quite enjoyed myself in watching this show, and look forward to seeing the conclusion on Wednesday.   Top

The pregnant woman trapped in the elevator was such a giggle moment. Mr. B and I (well, mostly me) heckled throughout this. He had high hopes for it, given the cast. I just kept reminding myself that Susan Sarandon was in "Rocky Horror", so cheesy plots, cliche characters, and ridiculous dialogue always qualify for heckling. Please abide in my words, for my references speak of the truth that is within me.   Top

dabo 26942 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 11-15-04, 10:54 AM (EST) 2. "RE: Category 6: Day of Destruction" I've got to admit, knowing that a stay at home wife can watch a TV report, conclude that the woman on the TV is having an affair with her husband because "she is very pretty," and actually turn out to be correct, that's scary. I can't believe Brian Dennehy and Dianne Weist agreed to be a part of this schlockfest. How'd they convince them? "The Fujita scale only goes to 5, this goes to 6!" Hey, Brian, the dog barks at midnight! SMILES ARE FREE   Top

OMH, there wasn't more to her suspicions? I was washing dishes during that part and was sure I had to have missed something. I have a theory that Brian Dennehy appears in so many cheesy TV pics because he likes the free food. Please abide in my words, for my references speak of the truth that is within me.   Top

"Part 2" The bad guys died conveniently (except for Lexer's PR homewrecker), the good guys survived (mostly) none the worse for the wear, Chicago survived the combined storms surprisingly well, and Amy finally got her story out. I can't wait for the next disaster miniseries.   Top
