12/30/1999: Agreed, it is sad, how Hollywood just churns out movies like this...

...I saw a good PBS documentary on anacondas once, though. It was Nature or Nova or something. It actually talked about REAL anacondas, and showed some really neat footage of a particularly large snake eating a capybara (I don't know how to spell it, but, if you don't know what it is, it looks like an extremely large guiney-pig type creature, and is the largest species of rodent in the world.) An actual documentary would be much more intellegent, interesting, and get higher ratings than that silly movie did...maybe. And then again, PBS doesn't exactly cater to the ignorent masses...sigh. But Hollywood's still going to be churning out these flicks as moneymakers, not art. Not much can be done about that...oh well..
