Dumbest. Movie. Ever.
So my wife and I finally went to see TTT this weekend (don't laugh, we have a baby) and the usual audience hubbub was going on pre-movie. When the trailers came on, people pretty much shut up and when the movie came on, everybody shut up.
Which was good. Except for the fact that I didn't shut up...
There were 4-6 trailers for various films. One of the trailers was (pretty lame for a trailer, imo) for the film "Dumb and Dumberer." OK, it's going to be quick knock-off w/o the original stars in it, no big deal.
Then the trailer after that was for this laugher called "The Core." My wife and I couldn't believe our eyes - this movie looks so dumb, it might make "Armageddon" look like... well, "Deep Impact" ("Armageddon" was pretty bad, so I couldn't exactly say "Citizen Kane".)
Anyway, my faux pas was this: when the trailer for "The Core" ended, during the two seconds that they show the credits, I said, IN A REALLY LOUD VOICE:
"Now that was Dumb and Dumberer!"
The entire audience broke up. My wife had to leave for a minute or two, she was laughing so hard. Everybody calmed down by the time the movie started, so all was good (luckily, there were a few trailers after that).
Was I wrong in doing that?
But, is there a dumber premise than the one in this movie? You thought Armageddon had bad science - my God!!!! This movie is horrible!
"Scientists discover that the Earth's core is about to stop spinning. This will cause tremendous natural disasters, wiping out life as we know it. A team of scientists is recruited in a crash project to send a ship and bomb into the center of the Earth to prevent the catastrophe."
By the way, did you know the spinning Core protects us from harmful "microwaves"? Not UV, not high-energy solar rays, but microwaves.
