a Theory of Pop Songs (and Other Things)

April 17, 2008

What do Lake Placid, Black Water, Steve Irwing’s The Crocodile Hunter, Crocodile Dundee, The X Files episode Quagmire have in common? That’s right: crocodiles.

ShockTillYouDrop.com
has an exclusive trailer for the movie Rogue, a story about “a killer crocodile in the Australian Outback.” It seems to have all the elements of a great crocodile movie; including this line from the tour guide:

You’ll be alright as long as you don’t go in the water.

I have one bone to pick with the trailer, though. It describes the croc as “something evil”. As someone in the comments rightly asks: how can a croc be evil? Still, it’s a freaking croc movie!

And then the bad news. Cinematical reports that the film is getting a pretty limited release. The upside is that this probably means the thing will be out on dvd pretty soon, even internationally.

If you’re going to make a creature feature then a crocodile is usually a pretty good choice for a creature. In general crocs are great - on the screen that is. Hope to see Rogue soon.
