    Disagree. The Last Starfighter is one of the better 80s science fiction films that actually holds up. Great CGI animation (one of the first films to have it), a killer score by Craig Safan, and Robert Preston. What's not to love.

     

    Agreed! Sure it's cheesy, sure the CGI doesn't hold up to today's standards, but it's actually a really fun movie. And fun fact, Grig the alien navigator is played by Dan O'Herlihy, known to HDTGM fans as the evil warlock from Halloween 3.

    Heck, if we're going to do one of these we might as well start with the nutty one from the 80s. Featuring Nurse Ratchet as Grandmother Ratchet. They actually had to tone down the incest from the novel, because apparently there's an acceptable level of incest for a PG-13 movie and the novel went just a wee bit over (though there are still plenty of icky hints of a relationship between the older brother & sister).

     

    A lovely story about a woman who has 4 children as the result of an incestuous relationship with her uncle who then goes to live with her insane fundamentalist mother who hates her and locks the kids in the attic because her father will only give her money if she pretends her kids don't exist. Then she slowly poisons the children with arsenic cookies because she wants to marry a new guy. Whippings, incest, sibling blood feedings, bedpost beatdowns and a hanging ensue. FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!

    There was more sweat and dust in that movie than there was plot development. I thought it just kind of hung there between good and so bad it's good. I was bored by it. I can see why people like it though. Guns and super hot people are strong selling points.

     

    Yeah it's far from one of my favorites, but the sexy times were off the charts.

    I thought the first half of this episode was brilliant. As Scott says, very much not what you normally expect from Comedy Bang Bang but refreshing and very interesting. But I was totally out when Paul Giamatti was introduced. I think James Adomian can be funny, and I enjoyed George W., but I find it impossible to enjoy his characters when they start talking about/doing repulsive sexual activity.

     

    You must have really been out during the Giamatti/Hoffman episode.

    this isn't a real movie poster is it?

    boy that sure does look fake to me..

     

    Sadly, it's real. Since this is a remake of a z-grade Kirk Cameron movie, I have to imagine they aren't dealing with much of a budget. Or maybe they recognize that it's obviously a comedy and made a poster appropriate for that.

    In that case, look no further than Danny Boyle's "Sunshine"! Sort of. Harder sci-fi that becomes more of a horror flick later on.

     

    A movie I love despite the fact that it goes completely off the rails in the last 30 minutes.

     

    I actually still enjoy Event Horizon and the whole 'haunted house in space' concept. Like I said I think a competent director could have pulled off something better. It's pretty telling that Anderson's 'director's cut' of the movie just ramps up the gore to even more absurd levels but does nothing to address the story problems.
