Movie is amazingly good for how dumb and goofy it really is. It's like if Spielberg made American Ninja 2. Just nutty.

You're not too far off. What do you think influenced Jaws.

So does anyone besides me think that Ethel Griffies (tweedy, elderly know-it-all ornithologist Mrs. Bundy) would've made a great Miss Marple?

Hm. I don't think Spielberg could have made American Ninja 2 any better than it already is.
