Hee. I love "The Poseidon Adventure".

[apocalypsos]

And I love the Irwin Allen Crappy-Special-Effects-Makeup-to-Severe-Injuries Ratio. For example ...

Entire bottle of ketchup spread liberally over a character's chest=all of their internal organs now lying in a big pile about ten feet away.

I learn a lot from Irwin Allen movies. Like always wearing matching hot pants under every outfit just in case of emergency. And also, small precocious children without the benefit of being mute should be dropped into propeller shafts.

Bam! Gene Hackman! Superpriest!

Ah, The Poseidon Adventure. -- truly it is The Greatest Story Ever Told. Classic each and every moment. It gave rise to my love of disaster movies and I maintain is the perfect vehicle for a monsterous Broadyway musical. Imagine the last scene with the swelling music of Morning After raining down on the exhausted (and depending on the theatre possible drenching wet) audience

Glorious!
