The Alamo

Post by Bubba Grizz »

Just got back from seeing the movie. While it wasn't incredible or awe inspiring it was a good movie. I enjoyed it and it did what it was supposed to do, entertain me. The only real problem I had that kept me from truly enjoying to the fullest was that I got his with piss pains 20 minutes into the film. I am not one to get up during a film and go to the bathroom for fear of missing something. This time I would have gotten up and went but I was flanked on either side by geriatrics with walkers and canes. I was trapped. Infact, outside of one kid brought by his grandfather, I was the youngest person in there by about 30 years.

Dennis Quaid did an awesome job but I think Billy Bob Thorton's Davey Crockette stole the show.

Should have stood up and announced, "I've pissed my pants and there's not a thing you can do about it!"

Geriatrics smell like piss mostly so it's doubtful anyone would notice otherwise.

Quite frankly, I am surprised this didn't go STV... I mean really...the alamo? The trailor just wasn't enough to inspire any interest.. As I watched the 30 second commercial slot, I thought to myself... 'I wonder what is on TNN......'
