Things I thought to myself while watching this movie:
"To the tourist asking if guy who just got eaten by a gigantic worm is alright: no."
"How to you catch/trap a huge man eating desert worm? Well ya slip it a roofie of course."
"So...you used put an ammo box on the gas pedal of the truck to lure the worm away instead of using the truck to escape?"
"I sure want a microwave that heats up a whole ham in about 3 seconds"
"You couldnt have possibly made the dental floss fishing pole to reach the walkie talkie a few hours ago? You know, before you spent all night on a rock?"

The Drinking Game:
Take a drink whenever someone has to jump on a rock to survive.Take two drinks whenever miguel mixes spanish words into regular conversation.

Thoughts of the main character as it fades to credits:
"Golly geez that sure was fun screwin with that Graboid with an RC car. Now where am I gonna live?"

Quote(s):
"Ass blasters! how about ass blasters?" "Sounds like a porno film"
"Can't run a business where your customers get eaten"
"I'm the masterpiece of self destruction"
"One question. Is your head up your ass for the warmth?"

Summarization of movie in one or two sentences:
Perfection: the only town that has a siren to warn that the gigantic worms that eat noisy things are afoot.
