Final Destination is the dumbest movie ever. Bleh.

1. Art imitates life??
In the beginning there is the geeky, weird girl. She has mousy hair, drab clothes and her behavior and mannerisms are very unusual. As the movie progresses, she becomes subtley prettier with each passing scene. She starts to wear more makeup, her hair is shiny and pulled back and she wears lots of tight shirts. Because no one wants to get attached to a heroine who is less than perfect looking. I dislike the way movies undermine the average person in this way.

2. Unfortunate choice of words...
There is a scene in which one of the characters has the top of his head cut off with a flying piece of metal. Less than a minute later the girl says (to another guy), "You can stay at my father's cabin in the woods until you get your head together." Youch.

3. The Countdown
There is a Death Clock on the DVD. It says that Mikey and I will both die on Dec. 31, 2022 at 11:50 pm. You heard it here first!

Forgive me if I seem to be a little flippant about death. However, as the movie points out - death is all around us. There are a zillion ways you could die at any given moment. All that is required is the exact set of circumstances. And as the movie also points out - there is no way to control it. You can't cheat death. So I choose to stop worrying about it and enjoy the time I do have. Whoo hoo. : ) Anyone wanna go see Final Destination 2??
