Today on the bus, I sat next to a woman who was watching a feature film on her iPhone. The movie was Weekend at Bernie’s…[wait for it]… 2. That’s right, this woman so desperately wanted to see Weekend at Bernie’s 2 that she downloaded it to her iPhone and watched it on a crowded public bus on her commute home from work. And something else to blow your mind: at one point, she tapped on the screen, and I saw the timeline of the video. She was ONE HOUR INTO THE MOVIE. Do you think she had been watching this movie over the span of 4 or 5 commutes to and from work? Or maybe her job is so dull that she started watching Weekend at Bernie’s 2 with 45 minutes left in the day? I find either scenario to be quite disturbing.
And before you go judging me for being able to recognize what Weekend at Bernie’s 2 looks like, it was quite easy to identify because it is the only one of the two movies that has scenes featuring Bernie moving around without the assistance of Andrew McCarthy or Jonathan Silverman.
