The Weirding Way

sting_head.gif
"They tried and failed."

That statement would fit many ambitious Hollywood efforts, but I am more interested in films that deserve this statement "They tried and died!" The Weirding Way pays homage to David Lynch's behemoth of badness, Dune! This term takes place when a movie faces no obstacles in the way of finances or production, but forgets the very essence of movie making . . . storytelling. Yes, on countless occasions the kids in Hollywood fail to provide a cohesive tale worth telling. The amount of time and money poured into the creation of Dune has been well documented, and needless to say, the film did not live up to expectations . . . hence The Weirding Way. While this term derives from Dune, it is important to note that this film does not actually deserve the term it inspires. How you ask? Dune is a tremendous display of bad movie making in all it's glory, while the movies that actually deserve the distinction of The Weirding Way are soulless and have nothing of value to offer viewers.

One filmmaker who is a repeat offender of producing Weirding Way films is my nemesis; Kevin Costner. Costner's holy war against filmdom is well known, but what fuels his battle is his inability to choose a worthwhile script. Correction; his inability to choose a worthwhile script and his utter lack of acting ability. Wait, one more time; his inability to choose a worthwhile script, his utter lack of acting ability . . . and that giant cranium of his! Damn you Costner!!!

The latest master of the Weirding Way is George Lucas with his prequels. He throws gobs of money at stories that do not deserve to see the light of day. My resistance to view these films was the same reason I didn't see Titanic or the Passion of the Christ . . . I knew how they fucking ended!!! My apologies, this is starting to read like a rant instead of a definition of a term so I will end here. If you have any questions about the Weirding Way feel free to post them on our message board hear at BMK.com, or call 1-900-Weirding Way and have all your fantasies come true!

Fletch is a killing word!

Dune may not live up to expectations, but Sting's steam bath never gets old.

Sting gives new meaning to the term 'the sleeper has awakened' in that scene.

Oh yeah, we have worm sign.

A perfect example fo this? JustThree words for you:Batman and Robin!
