    One more for the commode
    The premise that almost anything was possible in this movie just goes against all known physics and electronics. In other words it isn't happening, can't happen and isn't going to happen. The most hilarious part of the 'movie' was the over-modulating scene and what happens to the girl - this is totally and completely impossible. Also do you know how much it hurts to get your eardrums blown out and how long that pain lasts especially at high altitude - completely ridiculous movie from start to finish. I suppose the most irritating part was that the movie was unapologetically lumbering and dull. I really find it hard to understand how this made it anywhere, let alone a movie theater.
