movie review: "big ass spider" 2013

a big resounding yes to this movie, in fact, have just spent a few minutes trying to find some old australian car commercial from the 1980s where the jingle says 'yes, yes, yes!' --- just to emphasize the emphatic YES this movie receives

set in LA, including downtown LA, this movie is a hoot and a holler, giant mutating spider gets bigger and bigger, tongue in cheek comical military types - cliched seek to destroy giant spider, as does pest killer and his buddy jose

noone in this  movie comes across like barry manilow, in contra-distinction to the previous movie, the lebeuf vehicle........ and btw noone is saying you should go and suicide like williams did just because you feel like you can't be entertaining --- suicide is not a response to not feeling adequate at entertaining others as serious thespian or stand up comic or whatever........ we understand low dopamine/seratonin, dehabilitating depression such as caused the lady that did all the female voices on south park until she shot herself in the head in 1999............... it seems most understandable in war veterans and least understandable amongst entertainers, but surely lack of ability to be taken seriously and inability to entertain might possibly gnaw at the metaphorical entrails of actors and entertainers as this is their raisson d-etre (that's french for reason for being)

anyway, noone in this movie came across like barry manilow like in the previous review: not the spider, not the fighter jets, not the military major guy, not the pest killers, not jose, not the blonde, noone! that's great!

even the casting agents for this movie, those are the people that choose the actors, when they were auditioning spiders for the role (i'm guessing they built miniture version of LA in order to make the spiders seem bigger -- they possibly used a special spider exclusively for stunt scenes, it's all smoke and mirrors, these movies) anyway, even the casting agents that chose the spider(s) that were cast in this movie, they weren't like barry manilow either so no need to relearn potty pooping for them! hurrah!
