oh the olsens

One can not rely on two people completely giddy on mediocre Korean food and love to make good decisions.

Such was the state Alexander I and found ourselves in on Tuesday night in the video store on Tuesday night. It usually takes us a while to select something to watch, even if we know what we want to get, but on this particular night we were in and out of there in under 3 minutes.

With a Mary-Kate and Ashley movie in hand.

Yep, we decided to be extremely daring and rent Holiday in the Sun, Filmed at the Bahamas. The Filmed at... bit was actually part of the title. Not filmed in mind you, but at. At was the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas (or at?).

The back of the video case read like a brochure of the resort and the whole movie (shot in a style reminiscent of travel programs) was like a long commercial for the resort. A bit like those Peter Stuyvesant ads we saw at the movies when advertising smoking was still legal.

I know we should have expected something terrible, but this movie was worse than anything I had ever watched. I think it almost beat the animated Romea & Juliet with some seals in the lead roles.

There was no story or plot or central theme. It moved from one shot of them having fun to the other, with seemingly important characters moving onto the screen and then completely disappearing, never to be seen again.

I kept on waking up during the night wondering if we really did watch something so dreadful.

Scary stuff. But what is even scarier is that I know, I just know, that some rainy night after mediocre food and being very in love, we might just do the same thing again...
