1. So, she's the title character?
I joke, I joke. I thought she was quite good in "The House of Yes". She has some "actor" in her.

3. First the Clamato Tortilla Chips...now this...it's the end of the world...
That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane -
Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn -
world serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs. Feed it up a knock,
speed, grunt no, strength no. Ladder structure clatter with fear of height,
down height. Wire in a fire, represent the seven games in a government for
hire and a combat site. Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies
breathing down your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered
crop. Look at that low plane! Fine then. Uh oh, overflow, population,
common group, but it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its
own needs, listen to your heart bleed. Tell me with the rapture and the
reverent in the right - right. You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright
light, feeling pretty psyched.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign tower. Slash and burn,
return, listen to yourself churn. Lock him in uniform and book burning,
blood letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate. Light a candle,
light a motive. Step down, step down. Watch a heel crush, crush. Uh oh,
this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and steer clear! A tournament,
a tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives
and I decline.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide. Mount St. Edelite.
Leonard Bernstein. Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs.
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You symbiotic, patriotic,
slam, but neck, right? Right.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine...fine...

(It's time I had some time alone)

4. Tori Spelling is merely disturbing
Clamato tortilla chips are just plain sickening.

5. According to the guy that reviewed them, they just tasted like salty
tomato flavored chips. No hint of artificial clam. Honestly, if I saw them, I'd buy them just to say I tried them. Then, again I've also had shrimp chips and cuttlefish chips.

And the group ? and the Mysterians.

6. Apparently it's features a gay protagonist.
It's pro-gay, from the comments. Good for gay people.

It also deviates from the original story line. Bad for Lovecraftian fanboys.

I love Lovecraft, but his work doesn't naturally translate to screen very well. Change it all you want, it's still probably going to suck, with or without gay people in it.

11. Worth seeing if only for the underwater polar bear
I've given up on anyone, except me, making a good Lovecraft movie.

12. How sobering!
Almost as bad as the fact that the sanctity of marriage is under attack!

whether I find that horribly wrong, or frighteningly appropriate.

17. First of all it does not take place in a crumbling NE town
Secondly, human sacrifice won't raise Cthulhu, It'll just amuse him.

However, Tori Spelling does have that 'Innsmouth look'. :7
