It's really that bad?

Is it worse than the D&D movie? That's the worst one I've ever seen.

Starshipp Troopers... even that shot of Dina Meyer's boobies couldn't redeam the hidious acting nor the mockery they made of an excelent book.

I was at the World Premiere of Night of the Ghouls. One of Ed Woods "masterpieces". Of course I was dragged there without knowing what it was.

Trivia: 'Edward D. Wood, Jr.' was so broke he couldn't pay the film lab to develop this movie. It wasn't until 1983 (long after Wood had died) that entrepreneur Wade Williams paid the 24-year-old lab bill, and the movie was finally released.

Actually, taken as a farce (which is I think how it was intended), it was pretty well done.

Of course, that's not much consolation to Heinlein fans...

...but then Dina Meyer is truly a fox, and that's enough compensation for me.

I didnt hate ST that much, I just saw it as a plotless stright up bug hunt, flick with the boobie shots for the teen boys, perhaps I should read the book that the movie was based, The Book Dune is better than all of the films

Wow, I put boobies in a post and there are 4 more posts in 5 minutes!

Who'd have thunk it!

Well, I would advise you to read Starship Troopers, MJ; everyone that I know regards it as not only great Sci-Fi, but a pretty darn good political work on the practical applications of Roman Facism.

I'm just a really big fan pf ST because it's the first non-Trek SciFi book that I read an liked. I've meant to read 'Cat', but school is pretty rough this semester, and Real Life seems to have plans for me yet!

Heres a quote from a user review of imdb:

Quote

Rhymes with 'Really'. As in Really Bad

I read somewhere that a TV company was advertising this film along the lines of "So bad, you'll want to see it to know why". I wish I could remember where i read that but i can't.

I story about it that I DO remember can be found here:

http://www.platinum-celebs.com/music/news/006558.html

Apparently Columbia Pictures tried renaming it when releasing it in mexico to try to get more viewers... dunno for sure if its true.

Hey, Jon - WHY IN GOD'S NAME WOULD YOU WATCH GILI?!? Did you think it /might/ be good? Did you hear it was bad and need to know exactly /how bad/ it was? Did you get a GF and turn into a whipped spineless momma's boy?

Matt's cuter, btw. I loved that moview with him and Jude Law...let's see...the Talented Mr. Ripley. I kept waiting for the two of them to kiss...

A movie worse that BE?

I find that very hard to belive.

BE, the Movie, is so pathetic, it makes me ill everytime I am reminded it exists out there; in shelves and boxes all over this planet.

I am somewhat comforted than many are probably deep in landfills, but to think how many copies still exist. Shudder! I find it unfathamable how anything as grand as the Novel Battlefield Earth could be transmorgrified and pre-verted POS abomination that is the movie whose simularity is having the same name. IMVHO Battlefield Earth is a masterpiece, though penned by someone whose mental state at the time was shall we say, a little outside the norm...I read it again in the last year and still put it down with a smile on my face. And the knowledge that he cranked it out nonstop typing for about a month solid boggles the mind. If you have never read it, I recommend it. Also, the 10 volume Mission Earth. It might not be for everyone, but it is an interesting ride.

Have you been told that you are one sick puppy? If not, why not?

No I don't have to love him. I don't even have to like him. Though I do admit that Martin Landau did deserve the Oscar for playing Bela Lugois in the movie Ed Wood. Rather unfortunate that Ed did not live to see his life become an Oscar winning movie.

The theater actually had (1) spotlight going for the premier, much to the shock of those "friends" who dragged me there. It was rather delapidated and had a corner of the lobby roped off piled high with programs for future events. The manager was manning the candy counter. The balcony was also roped off as unsafe. Rather appropriate as the venue for an Ed Wood movie Premiere. The group in front of us really enjoyed the movie. When asked to put out their cigarettes they honestly denied having any. They weren't asked to put out their joints however.
