A bunch of useless crap
Published on July 6, 2006 By MasonM In Blogging
While I was inside the truckstop getting my evening movie watching snack I was checking out the DVD sale rack where they have the ones they sell for 10 bucks. Another driver was also standing there doing likewise. He was checking out a movie that I happen to have and I mentioned to him that I thought it was a pretty good action flick.

We then started telling each other about the ones displayed that we already own as we both have a pretty good collection, and reviewing which we thought were good and which we thought were bad. Eventually we each selected one we hadn't seen based upon the review of the other. There wasn't a single movie there that wasn't owned by one or the other of us.

While we were in the middle of this truckstop movie review a couple of other drivers came over and joined in, each of them picking out a movie based upon our conversation. In hindsight I think it was pretty amusing, two truck drivers standing in the aisle of a truckstop giving movie reviews like somewhat rougher versions of Siskel and Ebert. What's this world coming to?

Most of the time I would rather have the opinion of a "regular Joe / Jane" than from an "expert."

It's official, you've got to stay in touch with that guy (or find another cool bloke to do it with) and start a movie review site! It'd be a heck of a lot of fun!

My son actually looks for movies that Critics pan.  But then I usually ignore their reviews for reviews like the ones found here.  Movie reviewers are only interested in the artsy side.  I just want to see an interesting movie (Like the Planet of Vampires. )

LOl!  I think San chonino has a good idea too.

Now if a movie comes out in the next 6 months with "this scene" in it,  we'll know they stole it from Mason!
