Mega Python vs. Gatoriod

Yes, I watched it. Yes, it was just as bad as you think it was. What, were you expecting? The Umbrellas of Cherbourg?

The worst thing? The fact that the battle pictured to the left never took place. There were a couple of mild python on gator encounters, but nothing like the epic battle I'd hoped for. Well, sure, there was the one between Debbie Gibson and Tiffany, but that doesn't count.

Tiffany is a woman of huge . . . assets, whereas Debbie is kind of scrawny. But they're both great actresses,even if Tiffany's turn as a park ranger and Debbie's as an environmental activist don't quite rival Denise Richards' fine work as a nuclear scientist in The World is not Enough. And it was sun to see special guest star Mickey Dolenz, who seemed to really hate being there at all.

The message of the movie, as I understood it, was "don't feed steroids to gators because they will grow to the size of semis." Why the pythons got that big is another story. But they did, and that's all that matters. Well, they sort of did. At times they looked long, but very skinny. Like Debbie. They were mean, though, I'll give 'em that.
