The Final Destination
The one with the NASCAR crash, not to be confused with Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Oh god, as if this wasn’t bad enough, they brought in the nu-metal. It makes me physically ill.
One of the survivors us a literal Nazi that throws around the N-word like it’s nothing. He uses his tow truck to plant a motherfucking burning cross in front of the black security guard, until he dies in a “freak accident”, involving explosions. “Member of the local PTA and NRA chapter” is a profoundly stupid sentence.
Then there’s a scene at the hospital, where an old patient is bragging to an orderly about “how many of your kind I killed in Korea”. But the orderly says he’s Chinese!
Why the fuck do they feel the need to wade into race politics?
That security guard is reading the Alcoholics Anonymous book, and fails to kill himself several times: he throws up pills, cannot suffocate with the car running in the garage, and can’t even hang himself.
The stupid jokes continue, absolutely killing the mood.
We just lost a really hot MILF
The cast is even more Z-listers, and the CGI Asylum-level. One girl gets her foot stuck in a broken escalator, and starts bleeding from the mouth.
There’s still loads and loads of product placement, and a shitload of self-referential shit: the girls go see a 3D film called “Love Lays Dying”, which is Die Hard, not Love Lies Bleeding.
This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
