Have you seen that movie?

It’s like my old pal, Jack Burton used to say…

Yes, sir, the check is in the mail…

Son of a b*tch must pay…

When I was younger, I loved that movie. It had this crazy antihero, girls with green eyes, a subterranean mansion/world, magic, and monsters. What’s not to like…?

Well, after Kissyface and I spent weeks convincing my family that it was the best movie ever, we decided to bring it over for some fun family entertainment.

I was embarassed.

I mean, it’s still cool. Kinda.

I didn’t like the characters so much. The special effects were cheesy. I didn’t understand half the motivations in the plot.

This brought me to three conclusions:

1. I must strive to flesh out my story so it never feels like a hollow, good idea that never got fully developed.
2. I must keep my story innovative and fresh, so people don’t read it twenty years from now and think, that’s so cheesy.
3. Sometimes you just have to love bad movies even though you secretly know they’re really bad.

Your thoughts?
