Um, **grude** , did you watch the trailer before watching the movie? That’s all it took to tell me a few months ago that there was no point to this movie.

Maybe I’m naive, but I trust word of mouth more than trailers.

Well, geez, will no one mention the absolute classic of the 70s, “_Science fiction, Double feature, Doctor X, Will build a creature_ …”? I mean, I am no fan musicals, but come on, that was sci fi and it was very well done. Then there was _Dark Star_, which was rather low budget and very strange, but then, sci fi ought to be strange, otherwise it is just fiction with speculative elements.
