Sat down with popcorn knowing it was going to be stupid as all get out but I enjoyed it on a totally "wow, is this bad" level.

3. Major Media Motto: "We shall leave no classic unfucked"
I have the original Poseidon Adventure on DVD. I watched it a couple of weeks ago. Great flick.

5. It's impossible to get any worse than their EQ movie of a year or two ago.
That. Sucked. Big. Time. :puke:

Yes, of course I watched it.

6. I had thought this was being made for actual theater release
but I am horribly wrong.

Steve Guttenberg is in it! OMG!

9. I took the Warner Bros. Studio tour in
June and saw some of the sets, which looked pretty expensive. The tour guide mentioned that the movie would be a theatrical release. I think maybe that was the original intention, but the thing turned out to be such a turkey, it was sold to tv and will probably be quickly released on DVD. At least that's my guess.

15. That must be the one I saw.
The tv one has to be a cheapie. The cast sucks.

8. That's just another reason for me not to watch TV at all,
Unless there is something interesting sportswise.

10. I was mortified when I heard
That was the first movie I went see at a theater that wasn't a "Disney" movie. Scared me to death!

I refuse to watch the remake.
