    How bad does it have to be, to not be found in the IMDB?
    I'm a man of simple tastes- I like to look these things up so I can make better and snarkier fun of them, only to come up empty!
    What is this world coming to? These simple folks are almost no better then GI JOE, and those boys not sending the movie out to reviewers...

    Annalee, you need to not write your articles under the influence of vicodin or whatever other opiate you are on.
    That "film" wasn't even z-grade, it was worse than most high school freshman A/V projects I have seen.

    My favorite part was when she first started jumping up and down in the water and there's clearly someone just offscreen splashing water into the frame. The magic of cinema!

    I live in MN and work in Rochester. In Rochester they have the largest population of Lao immigrants outside of Laos AND a lake called Goose Lake. Still waiting for a giant goose to step on the Asians.....

    There should be an academy award for best use of a potato chip bag.

    It was the third man in the scene.

    Here's the part I don't get... in all these movies, how come there is someone with a camera right there with the victim and he/she (the camera person) survives to tell the story? Why is it always the other person and never the person with the camera? It's always like that, even in big movies like Jaws or Anaconda.

    @Roklimber: Its actually a second monster using the camera. Very egotistical these buggers. They love to film themselves eating humans then selling the tapes down on the monster black market. Bit like Paris Hilton...but with tentacles..and better looking!

    @omgwtflolbbqbye: Fargo is in North Dakota... you run into the occasional person "from up nort" who speaks in this fashion but those people are largely considered to be "simple people". My wife who's from MN only has problems saying things like Iron (eye-ron), Boat (boe), and Bag (bay-egg).

    @KryptonZero: Yea but the scene takes place during her trip to Minneapolis- the movie splits it setting between Minnesota and ND.

    Anyways, stereotypes don't need to be geographically precise.

    Wait, I liked what the Flying Spaghetti Monster said she was going to do to enact new policies and evict all the corrupt "business as usual" cronies from the Soil and Water Conservation Board. Why does "the man" always want to keep the FSM-friends crushed under their iron boots?

    I would like to know why a religious figure is on a scifi site such as this. I don't appreciate the holy flying spaghetti monster existing in the same category as these "laser beams" and "battlestar galacticons" you seem to enjoy so much.
