It's Possible Bill Doesn't Know What SciFi/Horror Is...

Just a few short hours ago, I finished the 3rd William Shatner DVD Club installment...a movie called, "King of the Ants" starring Norm from Cheers, one of the unknown Baldwin brothers, "former MTV actress turned actress used only for sex appeal in a movie" Kari Wuhrer, and some people I've never heard of.

My first thought...and this might be spoilerish, but I'm telling you here not to see this...this movie had absolutely nothing to do with ants. I was hoping this guy...the main character...was going to lead all the town's ants and use them to kill all his enemies. That's what a horror movie does (which this IS classified as by the way and it's not), it takes something completely ridiculous and uses that to gross out the audience. This movie didn't do ANY of that. It makes you angry that you sat for 90 minutes watching it. And the ants that do finally show up in the movie don't have anything to do with the fucking plot. Nothing. Nada. There are ants on the DVD label for crying out loud. SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE TURNED INTO A FUCKING ANT!

So, I've bitched about it, but the movie wasn't a complete waste of time. It gave me something to write about and it prompted some quality conversation while we sat with some friends and watched it. And that my friends is worth the $4 installment I paid this month to the Shatner DVD Club. Keep 'em coming Bill.
