I got values, but I don't know how or why

All right, down on your knees and pray, kiddies ‘cause Armageddon's on its way.

Pamela Anderson has recently confirmed that she'll be making a cameo in the new Baywatch movie....

Just let that sink in for a second.

Someone's actually putting up money to turn that decades old lingerie-catalogue of a show into a feature film? Something this bad surely is a sign, like a plague or boils, pointing to the end of the world.

I know David Hasselhoff was successful at sucking in his gut for the 42 minute run time of a show that ran ten years ago, but does anyone in Hollywood or anywhere else in the world honestly think that people will pay their hard earned money to see a fifty four year old Hasselhoff prance around the beach in a Speedo? Oh sure, the Germans will. But they also wear leather shorts.

Will Hollywood make any old crap these days - I thought the barrel bottom had been scraped clean after the Dukes of Hazard movie and the soon-to-be fast-tracked to video Gilligan's Island. Apparently I was wrong. Instead of having meetings with writers or optioning novels of substance, it seems that movie executives green light film versions of whatever they happen to catch on late night TBS.

How many levels of hell did Dante have in La Commedia? I think he forgot one. We're now at the bottom, past the liars and falsifiers of Level 8, past the traitors and betrayors of Level 9. A new level, Level 10 filled with the evil people who made "From Justin to Kelly," "The Flintstones," and "It's Pat: the Movie". Let's all just pray that there isn't an "A-Team" in the works.
