I feel like I should go have an after dinner blood mint now.
Lee rented it. He said all I had said was "Please rent a comedy."
I suppose it is a black comedy.
But ugh. I'm ashamed to admit I think I've seen every damn one of these gorefests in the five movie series.
The extended auto wreck scene in (number 2, is it?) is the most memorable thing in any of the movies.
But because it's so damn true to what happens in real life in a horrible highway pile-up, it's sort of excruciating to watch.
This one (5) has bridges with people and vehicles on them as they're falling apart, laser eye surgery gone horribly afoul, and jet planes exploding with close-ups of what the victims inside are going through.
The series is definitely a Grand Guignol franchise.
I would have preferred even an Adam Sandler movie to this.
And that's, like, saying a lot.
I wish the worst thing that happened in movies were like the things that happen to Peanuts characters in those specials.
I can deal with Charlie Brown's disappointment with the little red-haired girl.
That's so much better than watching someone's eyeball roll across the street and get run over by a truck (SPOILER ALERT! Oh sorry...did that in the wrong order!)
