Natural Splendours 6 (1)

For films that are this bad I usually can't tell you what the plot is because I stop watching them. Sadly, for this film, I can explain the plot in full details even though I gave up after only 30 seconds and began reading instead. While my neurons began committing suicide in self defence, I fast forwarded to some random points to get a few screen shots.

This is simply mediocre landscape photos set to classic music. It's not film, there's no motion or movement, it's a photo slide show! Yes, the camera pans and zooms on the photos, but it's still just photos! My screen saver, Slickr, does exactly the same thing but with millions of photos from the internet! And just to make it as bad as possible, the music is tinny lo-fi with clunky transitions. I imagine that perhaps this is the sort thing that some boss who doesn't use the front reception might put on the front reception thinking that it is a good idea. Imagine the boss's surprise when less than an hour later, the receptionist leaves via the front door, screaming, without even pausing to open it!

I shudder to think that is that this is number six... does that mean the world has been inflicted with least five others? Why god why!?!
