On the weekend, Cramer has his cheap Scotch and even cheaper linoleum rug, and moi has HBO and no "Mad Money," but he does have his favorite movie genre:
3 sets of young people head South or through the desert
One femme is a variation of Paris Hilton
One is beautiful and no non-sense
One is a nerdy
One male is a jock, usually black
One male is a male model
One male is a combination of geek and goofy, but horny
OK, in two or three cars they head out
They end up in a town off the map
Cell phones don't work
The town is full of crazed lunnies from some scientific experiment or the town is built over an Indian burial ground, except for one good citizen, who is usually a real goober
The visitors are hacked down to one male and one female
As an aside, females in these movies insist upon wearing high heels to run in to trip so the hacker can have at them
Cameras pan out for the end: Two discheveled young people suddenly thrown into Hamletian dilemma for their Spring Break...Thankfully, with 20 minutes of credits and mood music moi can also reflect upon life at the superficial level--There is nothing wrong with the schmaltzy if done bloody well (Noel Coward said it was extraordinary how potent cheap music is. Moi says ditto with cheap movies done well)
Moi's favorite movie of this genre has to be "2001 Maniacs," a delightful, unpretentious film, though there is perhaps 1 couple too many
Moi thinks the winning key is how totally tasteless, offensive and completely ridiculous the movie is, yet it works
Contrast this with "The Hills Have Eyes," in which a suburban American Family is being stalked by a group of psychotic people, the terrifying offspring of miners left behind in the days when atomic tests spread radioactive fallout across the desert--of course, all this happen far away from the civilization and cell phone service is awful
Moi was soon screaming at his TV: where-are-the-3 couples of young people? Puh-leaze! Hel-lo! I-WANT-MY-PARIS-HILTON TRIPPING
These movies simply do not work with a family! Geez
