@ajroach42 We did Star Crash sometime last year! It definitely did seem way better

BTW:

"Like, Star Odyssey isn't good, but it has things that happen."

Having just watched it, I'm not convinced πŸ˜‚ (I mean yeah it's true, things happened, it was just nearly impossible to tell what those things were)

It's time for the double-feature!

"How could it get any worse?!?"

not a bad job with the disassembled android parts, hats off to the props demartment

I guess maybe the android is joining the team as well as boxer Whatshisface

I love the shots framed so poorly that I check to see if something's messed up on my side

anyway, now: ACTION

this is actually impressive, to see junk shaky-cam action this many years before shaky-cam was invented

oh my god I love the robot patting itself as the person inside the suit worries about getting the drink-serving trays closed

this is like the adventure of a different droid off the Jawa crawler.

Earth is made up of a lot of iron, which is basically just a random element selected off the period table for abundance and not something to do with the fundamental nature of the stellar lifecycle and the stability of nuclei

Anyway maybe the aliens's planet is made out of unobtanium

And thus ends an interminable #monsterdon.

I don't even know how to recap that.

There were bad bits, worse bits, more bad bits, stupid bits, and nonsensical bits.

On top of it being an excuse to just stitch insane closeups and exposition together.

Anyway, thanks for all the toots, and thank you @Taweret for hosting!

and the movie fucks off into research into giving robots the ability to fuck, and in the middle of a line of dialoβ€”

Maybe should try the pilot episode of The Starlost, a TV show so bad that creator Harlan Ellison quit and took his name off the credits.

Ben Bova was the science consultant, and Douglas Trumbull was the special effects supervisor. Both of them quit before the first episode, too.

That guy keeps jumping around at the end of each scene like he’s just daring the editor to leave it in, and the editor has called his bluff!

How to act like you're in a psychic duel, according to this

1. be bald
2. rub your head.
3. gasp a lot.
4. talk about how much mental power your psychic enemy has.

I think the movie is on to something with having prison guards wear humiliating body suits with anal beads sewn onto the hood

let's hear them out about that bit

Inexplicably, cut to robot vs Human boxing. Reminds me of the "MAN VS CAR" bit of RIck & Morty's Interdimensional Cable. The car wins.

So Dirk's now back in the casino, with his spider shirt, like nothing happened? Weird synth music & glowing eyes won't give him away as a cheater! OH, this is the start of the previous casino scene.

"Transmit any pictures of this ooofo, immediately! We need to know the substance!"
But we already know this!

Editors! FUCK!

The men have more chemistry together than any of the women with the men have.

I like the robot's little synth beeps and boops while these dorks talk about the aliens or whatever. They're stimming :)

Oh wait we got a love triangle now because the psychic gambler guy (Dirk) kissed the daughter character (Irene), who I guess is probably not a daughter character just a friend of Mori, maybe? Unless this movie has an incest thing going on?

I love this Deep Space 9 set they're farting around on btw
