2D Movie Night

Movie Humans, Why did I wait so long to watch Barbarella? Because I’m a human man incapable of love? Because everything made before 1970 is hot garbage? Because Jane Fonda is 79 years old now and I can’t see her younger image because it will remind me of the frailty of life and the inevitability of death?

Okay Fellas, I guess up to the task to draft this review.  So Bill E swooped in and chose the epic Star Wars knockoff Starcrash.  And it is a knockoff in pretty much every sense of the word.  

Movie Gremlins,  Last Last Week we watched 1990’s Gremlin’s 2 : The New Batch. It totally held up! In that I mean it was never very good to begin with but the creature effects still looked great.

Movie Victims,  Last week we watched a movie that will surely be studied by film students for years to come as an example of mid the 2000’s resurgence of low budget teen horror films. In the last days of Blockbuster Video, they needed films that teased violence and titties, but didn’t quite deliver on either. It also didn’t quite deliver on Gary Busey, maybe because in 2005 we were only slightly aware of what a loonball he was.  We were all waiting for the ad-libbed mania that only The Busey can deliver.

So I can’t really describe exactly what was going on in this one.  It seemed as though the 1% were all apart of some collaboration with a race of aliens that were controlling the universe.  I think they were called the Human Elite something or another.  The aliens recruited the elite humans to be kind of their  lackeys and in return they afforded them riches for not trying to fight them I guess.  

NO RECAP???

Movie Gods,  Last week we fulfilled the Johnson prophecy and watched Hercules(1) from 1983. While it was better than the sequel, it was in no way a good movie. Sweet Lou’s dickless body really set the tone for the film. It did have an angry Hercules throw a bear into space and later travel through space on a chariot tied to a rock. So it had that going for it.

Movie Virgins,  Well if you missed this one, you missed one hell of a ride. The hilarity, the emotions, the confusion. It’s hard to describe this movie without giving you many details about the production or just explaining out each plot point individually. I think we discussed on the last email chain many of the details. But I have gone on to try to explain this movie to two separate groups of people, they didn’t really get why I was so confused… It must be seen.

Movie Deathstalkers,  Way back 3 weeks ago we watched Deathstalker. All of my screenshots are boobs or mudwrestling. So here’s how it went in my memory… John Deathstalker of the Cambridge Deathstalkers lives in a world where roving gangs of horsemen are pillaging all the villages. He stops them when he feels like it and almost gets some raping himself. But then… he finds an attractive female… but then he gets sidetracked by a wizard or something… but THEN… he gets invited to a fighting tournament hosted by another sorcerer, who wants to kill all the warriors so that NO ONE CAN STOP HIM. There were some gender bending shenanigans and then I had to change a diaper and the movie was over. the end (4 sequels later)

Movie Men at Arms,  I totally thought today was Wednesday. Last week we continued the tradition of ruining our childhoods by shining the harsh light of reality on them (or making the older members of the group wonder what is up with our taste) by watching the 1987 Canon films ‘classic’ Masters of the Universe.
