Pros and Cons: Waterworld

Post-Apocalypse Setting: Waterworld (and Zelda: Windwaker)

The ice caps have melted as the Gore-acles(!) predicted and we find ourselves floating around on scrappily constructed vessels, wary of those with motors and that fateful gasoline liquid that powers them as we pray for wind and sunshine. Various pirates of the sea, not unlike the pirates of the sand from Mad Max, rule the waters with tyrannical might. One Dennis Hopper has an eye patch, a bald head, and a lot of evil facial expressions, but you've got one Kevin Costner with webbed feet, gills behind his ears, and a noble but naive belief that this compelling post-world world you live in is compelling enough to spend a monstrous amount of money on for a film (I don't see what's so bad about it, but then again, I've only really seen the movie in parts with multiple-year increments in between my viewings).

Pro: Kevin Costner and Dennis Hopper and the only real woman I remember from the whole movie, who just happens to be a babe, are all entertaining peers in this world.

Con: There's water everywhere. I mean I like swimming as much as the next Joe, but c'mon. I'd be wearing floaties at all times I know that much.

Pro: You can try out your Wave Race 64 jetskiing skills in real life or for a more up to date reference, practice imitating Kenny Powers moves throwing loose women from the back of them as the asshole that he is.

Con: Your hands will be forever pruny.

Pro: You'll become proficient in spearing things.

Con: You'll probably end up imprisoned on Hopper's wildly big tanker and will have to work the engine room until you die.

Pro: Going on underwater looting sessions of the sunken big apple in a large bag of air pulled by Costner.

Con: There's water everywhere.
