Hated Piranha but liked her


Seriously the worst, most stupid movie I`ve ever seen but she was good in it and looked fantastic. She looks only a few years older than she did in Adventures in Babysitting. I`m glad to see her working. She deserves to be working but in better films.

ImaPepper2, how did you think it was awful? I haven't seen it yet, but it's my understanding that it's supposed to be cheesy and campy. Would you want Piranha 3D to have been played absolutely straight? Do you prefer to see Ms. Shue in art-house stuff instead?

The Catholic News Service has deemed Piranha 3D "morally offensive."

Check out these links for certain reviews of Leaving Las Vegas and Mysterious Skin:

Believe it or not, despite the relatively lukewarm opening weekend, a sequel to Piranha 3D is planned.

Um, are they planning to bring Ms. Shue back for it? Will it be a straight-to-video deal? Hollow Man 2, a sequel to the Elisabeth Shue flick Hollow Man, went straight to video and did not have Ms. Shue in it.

Probably means it's worth seeing then. Anything that oversize group of myth-believing, child-screwing, hate-mongering, scientific fact ignoring morons think should never be taken seriously.
