Horror movies, and the stupidity that happens within them

So, tonight my husband and I decided to watch the movie "Apollo 18" a movie based on true events (supposedly)

The story line:
"Officially, Apollo 17, launched December 17th, 1972 was the last manned mission to the moon. But a year later, in December of 1973, two American astronauts were sent on a secret mission to the moon funded by the US Department of Defense. What you are about to see is the actual footage which the astronauts captured on that mission. While NASA denies its authenticity, others say it's the real reason we'’ve never gone back to the moon."

I have to admit, the movie was a tad bit slow at the beginning. We met the three main characters, and a brief story about each of them. Blah, blah, blah....I'm sitting here trying not to yawn out of BOREDOM!!!!!

They head out to space, and we see what they were sent out to do (even though, THEY, themselves don't REALLY understand why they are doing it) It's pretty confusing. They walk the moon collecting rocks yada, yada, yada...Then one of them stumbles on to a set a "Boot prints" that don't make sense. They follow the tracks and find another space pod (Russian) we can tell that something really wrong happened there (blood everywhere, but we can't tell what or who did the damage.
Here's where I have a problem people...Guess what these two knuckle fucks do (Don't worry, I'll wait) Yeah you guys guessed it, these two "Butt Nuggets" go looking for an explanation. While watching the movie, I said out loud "GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!!!! IF THESE TWO IDIOTS WERE BLACK, THEY WOULD HAVE SAID FUCK THIS SHIT! I'M GOING HOME! NASA COULD KISS MY ASS!!!!!"

It's like all the other horror movies out there ie: Scream 1-4, Friday the 13th (all of them), Nightmare on Elm Street (all of them) just to name a few Even though the Black, Hispanic, or Asian person were killed off first I can bet money they weren't the one looking to figure out what that creepy noise coming from the closet was, or the one who falls in the middle of a chase, or the dumb blonde that goes upstairs into the house verses going through the front door into the crowded street!

Anyway, back to Apollo....These numb nuts run into some creepy and gruesome stuff (I won't lie, I jump a few times...LOL!) One of the two get infected (with what we, the audience, could only imagine it being some kind of alien) with something, and the other one is desperately trying to help his friend. I won't say more about the movie because that would mean I would have to give it away....All in all, a slow start, but it gets better towards the middle.

If you were put into a situation where you heard something funny, or so=aw something funny from the corner of your eye. Would you be the one to go check it out, or would you be the smart person and get the fuck out and dodge? I know I would....

I recommend watching this movie, it is pretty good....It gets a few jumps out of you, but it also makes you think....Is this the REAL reason we haven't been back to the moon?
