Waste of Film

I've watched the first 30 minutes of this on TCM and it is SO boring, SO pointless. Lots of pointless shots, very little that moves the story forward. It tries too hard to be "artistic" with European-style symbolism. Shelly Winters, Glen Ford, John Houston....a total waste of talent. A hawk attacks Ford as he drives his car. Why doesn't he just stop the car?

It's a lot like the original The Omen, a far superior film.

This movie changed my life. Now I'm thinking about becoming a motivational speaker, but first I must watch it again along with some bong hits.
