Path Of Destruction.

How's THAT for a title?  Yeah!!

So, I'm flipping through channels this morning because I'm in denial about the fact that I have an exam, 2 care plans and some grocery shopping to do today, and I stumble upon this in the channel guide.  Totally amused, I click the info button and I'm instantly rewarded with this:

"A cloud of voracious nanobots threatens Earth."

No way.  But there it is- a cloud of voracious nanobots.  AWESOME!

Anyway, you make the call.  This movie is:

a) A late 1950's black & white sci-fi classic complete with damsels in distress, dapper gentlemen saving the damsels and really bad special effects.

b) A special, behind-the-scenes documentary about the filming of the next Hollywood blockbuster action film.

c) The unfortunate depths to which Winnie from the Wonder Years and her career have sunk to.

d) Yet another craptastic made-for-TV movie on the Sci-Fi Channel.

e) c & d

And on a nursing school note, I turn to this movie right as Winnie is waking up from sort of unconscious state with the worst bandage job ever seen on her forehead.  She then gets out of bed, grabs her IV pole and patters down the hall to the nurse's station and starts asking questions and this lame nurse just goes along with it.  WHAT?!?  Where were the bed alarms?!?  And as soon as you saw someone with a head injury that has been asleep for a whole night walking down the hall, wouldn't you get that person back in bed because they might fall?  And when they can't find her friend, she grips her IV pole and begins bawling in the middle of the ward.  Where's the kind, empathetic nurse?  Get the girl a chair or something, maybe a social worker or Ativan, for heaven's sake! Who wrote this script?!?  Obviously not a nursing student.

They also had a guy that used the word "eco-terrorist".  Except he said it like "echo-terrorist."  One wages war on behalf of ecology, the other aligns himself with reverberated sound waves.

Quote of my experience with Plan Of Destruction: "In english, Doc, for those of us that don't speak Weather Channel."  Don't I have an exam in a few days?

And then I remember... voracious nanobots.  They're not trying to keep things legit.  They're just trying to wipe us out with robots.  Nanobots actually.  

Death by microscopic metal.  Bummer.
