Good point. That alone would bring the movie back to me original rating of 9 Blown Goats. Other improvements, and their cumulative effect on my overall rating: 1) Actually *seeing* the monster -- being that this *is* a "monster" film, yes? -- in its entirety rather than hints of it for more than 1/4 second at a time: 8 Blown Goats. 2) Following through more on the potential value of the spider-like children, perhaps leveraging their attack with an attack of the monster: 7 Blown Goats. 3) Marine Gunnery Sergeant slapping the living shit out of every self-absorbed, over-privileged white boy in sight, commanding him to "Get over yourself!": 6 Blown Goats. 4) A monster with some semblance of logic to it (why does it insist on damaging buildings? How does this give it what it wants or needs?): 5 Blown Goats. 5) The group with the camera doing something besides running away from the monster like little biz-nitches (like trying to fight it somehow): 4 Blown Goats. 6) Having one of the chicks rock hard with some serious firepower, preferably while covered with a little blood and wearing ripped clothing: 3 Blown Goats. 7) Seeing the monster injured by the group in some major way, but just enough to *really* piss him off and take it out on them: 2 Blown Goats. 8) Seeing military leadership make conscious decisions to kill thousands of innocent civilians in proximity of the monster when trying to kill it: 1 Blown Goat. 9) The movie starring me as my alter ego, Dr. Pimpalishuss, who becomes the hero that saves the world by using his pimp cup to form a shaped charge that severs the monster's aorta and makes him flail and bleed in fifty-foot geysers all over the place and scream his monsterific screams for at least a minute, then collapse in a heaving mass, with one eye opened toward Dr. Pimpalishuss who walks up confidently in his pimp suit, pimp hat, walking stick, and platform boots, and says some truly harsh shit like, "Now you know cold blooded, motherf*cker" just before he jams his walking stick through the monster's eye and into his brain, killing him instantly: Zero Blown Goats. Now *that* I would go see.
