Posted at 11:30 AM Jan 13, 2009
By Kenny HerzogWelcome back to one of NSCDUV's most beloved daily features, which takes aim at the most confounding, misleading or abruptly hysterical info-bar synopses of the day's cable programming.
And while yesterday saw that dastardly Info-Bar try and lure us into its Poltergeist-like underworld via innocent patsy The Rock & Roll Kid, today the Cable Guide cribs a page from Cypress Hill and asks, "Do you want to get high?"
And while yesterday saw that dastardly Info-Bar try and lure us into its Poltergeist-like underworld via innocent patsy The Rock & Roll Kid, today the Cable Guide cribs a page from Cypress Hill and asks, "Do you want to get high?"
Today's entry is:
The Actual Story: Sort of like The Bucket List as a high-octane thriller, Anthony Hopkins continues his string of "Maybe you're not one of the storied actors of the last half-century after all" roles in this based-on-a-true-story flick about an over-the-hill former motorcycle champ who wants to prove he's still the hottest thing behind a pair of wheels.
Cable-Info Bar Synopsis: "Motorcyclist Burt Munro tries to set a record for speed."
What Their Description Would Have You Believe: Like Leaving Las Vegas for pill-poppers, Indian tells the story of a down on his luck Hell's Angel-turned-trailer-park nomad Burt Munro, who decides to go out in a blaze of glory, seeing how many amphetamines he can consume in one night. And along the way meets the true love of his life, an ex-hippie drug dealer with a heart of pure silver.
