American Movie Crap
Some of the machines at my gym have little personal TVs on them, so you can flip through dozens of channels of crap as you try to distract yourself from the sweating and heavy breathing. One of the channels I tend to stop on is AMC - American Movie Classics. But every now and again, I have to wonder how a particular movie made the cut. A couple weeks ago, I came across Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Now, my brothers and I got a good laugh out of that movie back in the day… but it is by no means a classic… or even good. But today really made me wonder. You remember that flight attendant movie Gwyneth Paltrow made a few years ago? I’m not even sure what it’s called, and I don’t care enough to google it. Well… THAT somehow made it to American Movie Classics… and I am now officially going to have to demand that AMC change its name. I mean, I’m sorry. Gwyneth Paltrow prancing around in her platinum hair and short skirts in a movie that would have embarrassed Romy and Michelle does not a classic make. AMC - I’m revoking your classic status.
