More Netflix randomness
I am just finishing up a project for a major cruise line. As a result, for the past few weeks I have been immersed in all things cruise. I've never been on a cruise, so I spent a fair amount of time researching what the cruise experience is like.
On Friday, The Poseidon Adventure arrived from Netflix (not the recent remake, the original 1972 version). This was another random arrival from our queue. So we watched it Friday night. The scenes prior to the capsize are uber-corny and dated, but the bulk of the movie (10 survivors making their way through the upside-down ship) is exciting, sometimes touching, and sometimes funny. Surprisingly good really - I saw it when it first came out but remembered nothing about it. Today I was preparing my final report for the cruise company and kept thinking... (singing) There's got to be a morning after...

I loved the original movie, and other disaster movies of that era ("The Towering Inferno," anyone?). Yes, they were corny, but the drama was always well-played. I think Poseidon was my favorite.
I haven't seen the remake, have you?
No, I haven't seen the remake. I heard a scathing review of it, which is what prompted me to pop the original in my queue. Yes, Towering Inferno - I saw that one too - it's a family joke that my mother actually slept through part of it. The other disaster flick in my queue is Airport (1970) with Dean Martin. But, I did put that one down a bit in the queue to space out the disasters a bit.
