Victory and Horror

This time, Shock and Awe worked. So far, there has not been one ant sighting in the kitchen. It is still a little hazardous to breathe in that room, but there are no signs of an ant insurgency. I'll hang my "Mission Accomplished" banner soon.

Completely unrelated to the ants, Saturday night we went to see the new Narnia movie, which is another post for another time. However, before the flick they showed what I firmly believe to be the worst preview of all time, all time being past present and future, for "Beverly Hills Chihuahua." Tagline: "50% Warrior. 50% Lover. %100 Chihuahua."

It's like the Taco Bell dog came back after however many years he's been gone and made himself a movie. The preview was an elaborate musical number performed by dozens of computer-generated chihuahuas. It was beyond bad. It was holy-crap-a-piece-of-my-soul-just-died bad. It was I-bet-this-makes-God-angry-bad. The reaction of the audience, which ranged from shocked silence to some actually hurtling insults at the screen, seemed similar to my own. After seeing this, I actually kind of want the terrorists to win. At least under their regime we wouldn't get movies like this.
