There
are two directors with similar names and who have had two very different
careers. The first is Paul Thomas Anderson and the other is Paul W.S.Anderson.
Paul Thomas Anderson is the man behind such masterpieces as There Will Be Blood and
Magnolia whereas W.S. Anderson is responsible for such shite as AVP: Alien Vs.
Predator and the ball-haemorrhagingly dull Resident Evil. Anyway, so if you too
find it difficult to keep track of which is which, I have a handy little tip to
help you remember. Just imagine that P.T stands for Pretty Terrific whereas as
W.S stands for Wanky Shit. It works for me, so you're welcome! Anyway- bearing in
mind that I know the poor fucker as Paul Wanky Shit Anderson, I was always
curious about his 1997 sci-fi film Event Horizon. There really is no denying
how crap his films are however this one seems to have become a bit of a cult
hit and not just in a The Room style 'what-a-load-of-shite-that-is' way. Not only
that but I listen to a lot of podcasts because they're easier to deal with than
real friends and Empire Magazine's one bangs on about this film almost every
week. I therefore decided to gamble an hour and a half of my life on their
recommendation... Although fuck it, I'm single so it's not like I had anything
better planned than tossing off and having a cry.
