So many clichees

But the one that annoys me most is the kid. There are too many movies, sorry, WAY too many movies spoiled by some stupid kid with a stupid typical 'Murican haircut that somehow ruins everything.

I understand that we need to feel some love for the kid or at least feel pity for it and therefore really want the parents to succeed in looking after their kid but that's not what I want.

I want full on disaster. I don't care about the kid. In none of these movies. I don't like children, I don't have children (that I know of, I've been on holiday to Thailand though) and children should stop ruining movies.

Imagine how great this movie could be without the silly intertwined love story and the kid with the stupid haircut that starts ruining things by leaving his meds in the car. If he were my kid I would have left him there and then and gotten on the plane with my hot wife and just told the kid "That's what happens to boys who are too stupid to keep their meds with them".

Damn, I was hoping for a great disaster movie but instead I watched some drama. I give it four out of ten. No wait, there was not nudity whatsoever, make that 3/10.

Maybe you should stick to porn?

They don't make good porn anymore. The ultimate porn movie was Taboo American Style, with Raven, Gloria Leonard, Tom Byron and Paul Thomas. Those were porn movies with a story. Modern porn movies have no stories. It's a blonde bimbo and some hunk, having rough sex and ending with a money shot on her face. Boring. So no, I won't stick to porn.

You mean like a plumber fixing the washing machine type story.

Well, that's the modern porn movie. Watch some classics. Start with Taboo American Style, The Opening of Misty Beethoven and some movies with Brigitte Lahaia and Desiree Cousteau. That's oscar worthy material compared to all the fake couch audition movies and bangbus shit they're producing nowadays.

totally agree, but since a movie is a product they hope to get as many consumers as possible so this way they can have both adults and kids watching it, but definitely would have been much better if it was darker for adults only like Rambo or Predator.

Let me assure you, you won’t have any children, not that way for sure.
