Back, beat up and needin' a nap

OK, just as I figured -- even with some beggin', and damn if someone didn't blurb on my beggin'* and if another did not comment about whether it was effective, I still ain't seen much visitation today. But then again, it is Saturday, and that does seem par of the course.

I did get out. I went shoppin'. I didn't buy much, just a couple of movies that were too good of a deal to pass on,** and then started to feel groggy. I decided maybe I should just come home and take a nap. Of course, before doin' so, I wanted to drop by and see if I had gotten those fifty visitors I had expected while I was out. I didn't, but I really do want to thank the five of you who did visit -- wait, strike that --- make that I want to thank the four of you who visited and did not leave a SPAM comment ... as for the one who did --- well I can't quite find the words to say how I feel about you.

*I mean how pathetic is it that the only thing someone can find to blog about is some other really pathetic blogger beggin' for visitors? ;)

**I purchased Close Encounters of the Third Kind and 1941. On my way home, while I was tryin' hard not to doze off watchin' the white line, I was tryin' to think if Steven Spielberg has directed a bad movie? I guess I had forgotten about Jurassic Park: The Lost World (1997).

I'm better than 50 hits ... :-P

It's the quality not the quantity

Wait a minute, are you saying that The Lost World is a bad movie? I love that movie.

Did Spielberg direct Batteries Not Included* or was he just a producer on that one?

He was just a producer on that one, and was one reason I limited my quip to his directorial efforts. If you begin looking among those on which he was a producer, you come up with Joe Versus the Volcano, definitely a contender for the worst Tom Hanks film of all time, The Money Pit, another contender for the worst Tom Hanks movie ever made, and Twister, almost a consensus vote-getter on everyone's sucky movie list.

I must be a mutant, Tig--I liked Batteries Not Included, and I enjoyed Twister, even if the special FX weren't realistic. Musta been the soundtrack... ;-)

Ok, we do not the like the same movies. =) I happen to like all of those you mentioned as stinkers, although I admit that Twister is more than a little cheesy.
