I am watching this really shitty WW III movie from the 1990s [View all]

Basically, it's a double plot of decisions makers doing stupid things, and an air crew that is carrying out their stupidity.

Martin Landau, Powers Boothe, Rebecca De Mornay, James Earl Jones, Darren McGavin, Rip Torn, Peter MacNicol, and Jeffrey DeMunn all star in this nonsense of tired plots in the context of a superpower conflict.

I feel like, at this point, I am kind of committed to dissecting this earth worm*, so I am going to watch it to the end. But, man...

* don't dissect a worm if you don't have to. You will invariably cut it's dorsal vessel and squirt nasty worm blood on your ungloved, ninth-grade hands in 6th hour (there were 7) Biology.**

** But I digress.


Here is the movie. It says "excellent." It lies.
