It's really that bad?

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

Wimps. 

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. ;D

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! ;D

Man J. PM your adress and I'll mail you a few Hienlien Novels. I've been tossing around the Idea anyway of having a Dyna Library, where we can all share books with each other.

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


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.

Blasphemer.


I think everyone is overlooking the obvious question in this thread....


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?

The same reason why I watched Glitter, and MANOS THE HANDS OF FATE ect.. sometimes to appreciate, War and Peace, Bridge over the River Qui, Dune, ect, you must watch a piece of Bile like Gili :)
