So very, very close.

This afternoon, we went to lunch and the Blockbuster, hoping good food and a couple of trashy/good movies would mitigate the unrelenting garbagestorm that is New York weather. (At last count the cloud cover has destroyed 90% of the wife's soul.) We picked up Sabrina (the Han Solo version), Waitress, and a few others. It was good work.

Or was it?

See, as we were perusing Blockbuster's "Comedy" section, thinking that laughter is the best way to deal with the blargosity of the state in which we live, and we ran across this:



The title is 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain, and that truly is Hulk Hogan tearing through the cover. Of the 3 Ninjas movies available at Blockbuster, this one was checked out, meaning that somebody got to that shelf, saw the trilogy, and either

a) had seen all but this one, or

b) had seen them all, and knew that this was the best, or

c) had no idea that this movie existed and instantly knew it needed to be seen.

Because 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain has Hulk Hogan in it, as well as Loni Anderson and Ernest from Ernest Goes to Jail. And I know, I know -- it's supposed to be tongue-in-cheek and campy. It's not unintentionally funny like Teen Witch. It's one of those movies that wants to be unintentionally funny, maybe even intentionally funny, but it's just gonna go ahead and fail on all counts.

Or is it? You be the judge: the trailer awaits. Is it even worth the advertisement wait?
