Be glad you never saw the 1998 version of Brave New World, in which Bernard Marx was the best looking and most popular dashing guy in the Alphas. That’s as far as I got. That’s a movie that should be lost.
Mmmmmmmm…Luciana Paluzzi in a miniskirt…
Oh- I saw it, but a handsome Bernard is nothing compared to John Savage dying accidentally. :eek: :mad:
However, Leonard Nimoy was quite cool as Mustapha Mond & Miguel Ferrer was OK as the Director of Hatcheries.
Lenina was hot & pneumatic enough. G
The animated movie “Rock and Rule” used to be on HBO all the time it seemed. This was over 15 years ago, when I was in high school. I haven’t seen it listed in years, and it’s not available on DVD (to my knowledge). And every time it turns up on Ebay, it seems to go for an astronomical (to me) amount of money. (Especially for a used video store tape that’s been viewed Og knows how many times and may be on the verge of breaking when you receive it.)
When HBO came on the air, Lenny was one of those movies they showed seven days a week, three times a day, for a month. I never want to ever see it again.

I haven’t forgotten the clunkers you name; I just didn’t list them. I wasn’t kidding when I said I could go on.
And a minor correction here:
While awful, and a Japanese-Amwerican collaboration, it was by no means the first. Have a loojk at The Manster sometime:
I’d dearly love to see The Unknown Terror aggain. I haven’t seen it since I as a kid, and I still vividly recall the “killer fungus” that was played by the lather from dishwashing soap. What I’d like to see is the early appearance by Charles Gray, later famous as The Narrator in Rocky Horror Picture Show, not to mention Mycroft Holmes, and Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
Here’s a 2-disc special edition on Amazon. I’ve never seen it, mostly because an ex-friend with the Worst Taste in Movies Ever told me many times how great it was.
CalMeacham: I saw The Manster on cable (well, DirecTV) just a few months ago, and I’ll always treasure the experience. We figured it would be a goofy monster movie, but it was not at all what we expected. I give it a WTF?-rating of 72.
One morning I thought to myself, for no reason in particular, “I don’t think Midnight Cowboy has ever been shown on TV.” Later that same day I was talking to my brother about movies and he said, “You know what’s a great movie that they never show on Turner Classic or any of those other channels? Midnight Cowboy.” :eek:
I guess there’s a reason we’re brothers.
One showed up on TV last Sunday afternoon - the John Boorman movie Hell In The Pacific with Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifume and no-one else. I saw this as a late night movie 20 odd years ago and have never seen it since. Interestingly it looked like an absolutely pristine print.
