i hate underworld, and by extension, the covenant

i remember hearing or reading at some point that this new movie, the covenant, was produced by the same folks responsible for that travesty underworld. it did strike me as omnious.

craig, steiner, and i were sitting downstairs and watching tv and a trailer for the covenant came on. it opened with - guess what - some douchebag landing after what i assume to be a jump from a large height.

steiner's face lights up in a huge grin and he says, "did you see that? did you _see_ that!? you know who produced this, right?"

not five seconds after he says this, in the SAME FUCKING TRAILER, the trailer cuts to _another_ clip of the same fucking guy exercising the same exact landing "superpower."

what the fuck is wrong with the producers?? who is the fucking asshat who forces these falling/landing scenes into these fucking movies? it is not cool. it's an ok, auxiliary sort of power. if a hero has super strength or an adamantium skeleton, a side effect of his resilience is that he can fall from pretty high up and not care. it is not a power in and of itself. it should not define any kind of hero. what the fuck!?!

i fucking hate the people responsible for these movies. who in fuck's name daydreams about being able to jump off high places without ill effect? who?
