From the Bottom Shelf of the Direct-to-DVD Bin I Stab At Thee

And speaking of cheesy movies about oceanic killing machines, they’ve made another film version of Moby Dick, only instead of a 19th century whaling ship, it’s a 21st century nuclear sub. Barry Bostwick plays Ahab. (Brad’s had a pretty good career in Hollywood, all things considered.) A trailer indicates it’s every bit as good as you would expect:

Wow, that may actually eclipse Pinocchio in Outer Space as the worst adaptation of Moby Dick ever.

Can Moby Dick vs. Crocosaurus be far behind?

    […] the single worst idea I’ve ever heard… At least, that’s what I thought before I saw the trailer. At least Barry Bostwick seems to be having fun. […]
