So Sunday night I caught the first few minutes of “Locusts” on CBS. The opening scenes featured Lucy Lawless in little more than a bra. Somehow this made her look even more masculine. Next up was some lab scene that featured a bunch of close-ups of locusts (grasshoppers?). I like bugs, so I watched until the blonde bimbo got attacked. Apparently I should have watched longer<\/p>\n
I received this email from my dad this morning:<\/p>\n
If you missed that instant classic “locusts” on CBS Sunday night, I recommend you
\nwaste a couple of hours just to see how bad a product can get. I was alerted to it
\nwhen we were down in New Orleans last month. I was walking down towards lee circle
\nand walked into a bunch of people sort of standing around acting odd. I wandered
\naround for a few minutes trying to figure what was going on and then I noticed a
\ndolly track and a camera. I wandered towards the camera (figured they were shooting
\na cheap local add) and then a young Hispanic man ran up and told me to get out of
\nthe movie they were shooting. I stepped back out of the scene and stood there and
\nthen the consummate pro that he was noticed my camera “and we can’t allow you to take
\nany pictures, either”.<\/p>\n
How bad can it get? Xena and B.J. Hunnicut are the major stars–the scene I was “in”
\nwas shown as being in Pittsburg-and a dumb blonde with 15 pounds of boobs spilling
\nout of her dress actually said “he’s all that and a bag of chips” to her plain
\nfriend about an obvious flaming queen who is a Christian (wacko).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
