divine angst

So, there’s not much on TV Saturday afternoons, so Mr. Angst and I are watching Air Force One. This movie, my friends, is a silly movie. It is very implausible and over the top. Gary Oldman spends all of his screen time chewing the scenery. Harrison Ford spends the entire movie playing President Han Solo. William H. Macy is criminally underused.

So those things contribute to the silliness of the movie. But the biggest reason this movie is silly is because it has five endings. FIVE. Things start going SUPER for President Solo and Team America, but then Team Russia gets smart. And then President Solo kills a bad guy. And then someone fires missiles at Air Force One. But someone on Team America gets in the way of the missile. And so on, and so on, and so on. And then the airplane makes a cartwheel into the ocean.

So, this movie is silly. But there’s nothing else on TV. So that’s what we’re watching. Sigh.
