This leprechaun didnt steal my gold, but he did steal my $4 and I want it back! When WWE first announced Leprechaun: Origins. You, and I and everyone else thought it was a terrible idea. For starters, the Leprechaun films just werent that good in the first place. Theyre not at the same level of popularity as Halloween, Friday the 13th, or Nightmare on Elm Street. Its basically bargain bin schlock. Besides, after Leprechaun: Back 2 Tha Hood, was there really anything more to say? Someone at WWE Studios thought so, and gave us this newest take. Its a baffling film, as the original Leprechaun movies were cheesy and filled with bad one-liners. I assumed that WWE would attempt to follow this same formula, and put Hornswoggle in a green outfit and chase people around. It could have been so awful that it might have been good. Instead, the studio tried to make the movie scary! That ruined all the fun, and just means the movie is bad, and not bad-good. So no Jennifer Aniston, no Warwick Davis and no cheesy fun? Skip this Leprechaun and save your gold for something, anything else. This movie may end up being the low point of Hornswoggles career, and thats saying something for a man who fell out of Mae Youngs vagina.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
