1. That’s… just… WOW!

   So damn creepy! [SHUDDER!]Report

   1. I know, right? So much awesome there.Report

      1. All it would need for perfection is the hero to build some kind of junkyard mecha to go toe to toe with the beastie.Report

2. Brought to you by Toyota.

3. Here’s a post Burt or someone else should do:

   Why is it that once an actor/actress has been in any sci-fi/horror TV show or movie – no matter how bad it was or how dreadful they were – they are granted a career in sci-fi/horror movies for the rest of their lives? Not only a career, but one in which DVD boxes will say things like, “Featuring Walter Koenig of STAR TREK!” even if they have, like, 2 lines?Report

   1. Typecasting and fan love.Report

   2. Walter Koenig? The guy who played Bester on B5 was in Star Trek too!?!!1! Awesome! Literally space awesome!Report

      1. You really didn’t know that? He played Chekov, the Navigator, sat next to Sulu on the bridge. Spoke with a doofusy fake Russian accent.Report

         1. (I knew that. Just being silly. “Where are your nuclear wessels?”)Report

      2. And did you know Wings wasn’t Paul McCartney’s first band?Report

         1. @mike-schilling that would be the Kingsmen, wouldn’t it?Report

      3. Wings? You mean that crappy sitcom? Buffalo style? Wings Hauser ( only noted for crappy movie fans)? Was there another Wings?Report

      4. And did you know Wings wasn’t Paul McCartney’s first band?

         Who is Paul McCartney?Report

      5. Ringo Starr’s bass player.Report

4. I never understood the appeal of this kind of entertainment and probably never well.

   Keep in mind “so bad its good” has always gone over my head. Same with Camp and Kitsch.Report

   1. It can be a fun social activity. It’s simple enough that you can talk to people while you’re watching it without missing much. You can make fun of it together.Report

      1. I care about art too much. Life is too short and there is too much good art out there. I can’t imaging wasting time on the campy/kitschy stuff.

         Though I also don’t quite get passive entertainment either. Perhaps my brain is just hyper active.Report

      2. Life is too short for humor?Report

      3. James,

         There is plenty of intentional comedy that I can watch and laugh with and at while still avoiding this stuff 🙂 Stuff with actual wit and intelligence.Report

      4. Oh just ignore NewDealer, he plain doesn’t get it.

         Let him have his high-brow artsy-fartsy “humor”, we can all enjoy this excellent beer & pizza movie without his belly-aching the death of wit.

         😉Report

      5. MRS,

         The Philadelphia Story isn’t funny?Report

      6. MRS was a Navy man. There’s nothing “funny” about covert invisibility experiments resulting in time-traveling destroyers. 😉Report

      7. The time-travelling part is fine by this Navy man. It’s the sailors embedded in bulkheads that give me the williies.Report

      8. @newdealer

         Not compared to Bringing Up Baby.Report

      9. NewDealer,
         Surely you’d laugh at folks reading the stage directions??
         I’ll quote:
         “This is quite homoerotic”

         You’ve done theatre, surely you can laugh at people doing it wrong?

         (Note: additional hilarity ensues when someone tries to make a bad
         show, and instead makes a /good/ one).Report

      10. I agree with Rod, the whole “sailors in the bulkheads” bit was unfunny, the rest was pretty cool.Report

   2. “I never understood the appeal of this kind of entertainment and probably never well.”

      what is this…emotion…you humans call…fun?Report

      1. Cute. I have fun.Report

5. This reminds me of “8 legged freaks”.Report

   1. Another classic!Report
