Do it in a double bill with Zapped Again! Because why wouldn't you make a sequel to this?

An inventive kill with an amusing false start when the plug comes out of the wall. But then again, none of that really happened because it was all a dream.

Looks a bit like Dinklage, but acts like Joffery.

I mean it in a "How did this crazy/awesome thing get made?" kind of way. It's sort of Airplane! (maybe Airplane II) on a bus (although it actually came out first). From imdb: The ultimate disaster film parody. A nuclear powered bus is going Non-stop from New York to Denver and is plagued by disasters due to the machinations of a mysterious group allied with the Oil lobby. When the driver is injured a washed up, down on his luck, but used to be great type, who as it happens, used to be engaged to the inventor's daughter is brought in to drive the giant bus which includes a one lane swimming pool and a one lane bowling alley.

What this movie didn't tell you: Those that went to Nova Frincham, or whatever, were actually just the useless third of the Earth's population. The rest stayed behind and lived happily ever after until they were all wiped out by a plague contracted from an unsanitized phone.

Just a guess, but the planet they come from is from a star in ursa major or ursa minor?

I had no problem with the movie until the cop out ending.

It could have been the Ursa creature that killed those monkeys, but they might have just been cheap monkeys: http://pages.infinit.net/garrick/jokes/monkeys.html

I'll just paste in the synopsis from imdb: A mother/daughter pair of witches descend on a yuppie family's home and cause havoc, one at a time since they share one body & the other must live in a cat the rest of the time. Now it's up to the family's mother, a private detective and a suspended police officer to try and stop the witches. No part of this movie isn't insane.

By flop, do you mean success? It made 80 million off a budget of 25.

This shit is Bonobos: B-O-N-O-B-O-S!

Mostly the problem I have with this movie is how derivative it is of Moon in particular, but also Matrix and Independence Day. But if you're gonna have "everything you think you know is a lie" in the trailer, then you have to get to that point fairly quickly. Otherwise, I'm just assuming every bit of exposition is a lie. But it doesn't help that the controller always sounds like she's lying. She could've just ended every transmission with, "Yeah -- That's the ticket." And she wouldn't have sounded any less trustworthy. Does Tom's character listen to his own narration? Because if I heard myself talking about a mandatory mind wipe, I'd be like, "Hang on, me -- That doesn't sound right." His character seems remarkably credulous about his incredible lifestyle. The thing about blowing up the moon was kind of a weird hand wave. I mean, if they blew up the moon and sent chunks of it hurtling at the Earth, that's a thing. Or maybe they substantially changed the orbit somehow. But if they just shatter a bunch of it and left it sitting there, which is what it looked like to me, then that's not gonna do much of anything. One big rock, or thousands of smaller rocks, it's still the same mass. I just think if they're gonna make a big deal about it being key to the alien invasion plan, they should make an effort to explain how it works.

I see China is remaking this in real life: http://ntdtv.org/files/content/20130516-cnb-10_mysterious-ooze-seeps-from-chinese-city-street.jpg

There's one wacky thing in that we're supposed to believe someone can just look at tiny Tom Cruise and "know" that he could kill a woman with a single punch. The woman at the motel registration desk could not be more emphatic about that. When they cast Cruise instead of someone who matched the size of the character, they forgot to re-write that aspect.

Only if the Prius makes a statement denouncing the genocidal demigod as not representative of its position.

This movie is a perfect example of what happens when you make all the wrong storytelling choices. Capricious demigod shows up, wrecks the place, changes his mind, hits the reset button and leaves. End of movie. Nothing is resolved. They ask Cowboy X if he wouldn't rather be Cowboy O, and he agrees. Who is the hero of this movie, anyway? Global warming? Because the capricious demigod is clearly the villain.

Among the most fun things is the lead character being forced to make out with Patrick Stewart while he's inhabited by the female vampire.

It's an OK movie, that was also quite profitable, that a) kinda fizzled at the end and was fairly derivative of Nightmare on Elm Street. There's not a lot to make fun of.

One of the worst films I've ever seen and probably the only one my friends and I ever rented and gave up on trying watch it all the way through. Only rented it because Shannon Elizabeth was in it.

Watched this many times. Definitely a how did this awesome thing get made.

When JVCD ratting out his friend to Raul Julia was discussed, I was thinking about Die Hard and how, like a sane person, MacClane did everything he could to avoid the villain discovering any associations he had with the hostages. That's because his friends would be made to suffer in order to put pressure on him. JVCD, on the other hand was, "Fuck that noise -- I'm giving my buddy a shoutout!" To find out the writer of one was the screenwriter of the other is insane.

There's also the Thieves' Guild which seems to only admit characters from the Star Wars cantina scene. "Police! I just got robbed!" "Did you see who did it?" "Yeah, it was the red faced thief." "The one from the Thieves' Guild?" "You know it." "Well, I guess we know who to arrest. This is the easiest job I've ever had."

OK, so they've captured the guy that caused the Joes to be terminated, unmasked him and realized it's actually someone else, so they naturally tell -- No one. Yep. Sure, that means the Joes were set up but their primary adversaries, but there's certainly no reason to share that information with anyone. I've got to wonder if there was any time when the "President" was setting up his new special forces group that someone said to him, "Say, Mr. President, is it really the best idea to name your new group after a terrorist group? That just seems confusing."

OK, that's just mean.

SF wise, the idea of distant aliens communicating with whales is ludicrous. How the hell is whalesong getting into space, exactly? But besides that and the funky ass time travel sequence, this is easily my second favourite Trek movie after Khan, The only real problem with this movie is it lead to Star Trek V being made. Now that one is a crappy movie.
