I was skeptical but I watched _Peewees Big Adventure_. I thought for sure this would be the worst movie ever. Turns out I laughed like a kid. Rubin’s has good voice manipulation and can act. He uses his body in hilarious ways. Classic humor. I was surprised I enjoyed it so much. ---

Siskel in particular came across as a typical Liberal-intellectual jerk with absolutely no sense of humor. I felt the same way as you did above when it came to _ **Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure** _. I thought it would be another dumb teen-oriented movie, and I saw it only because I got to the cinema too late to see the film I had planned on and didn’t want to turn around and go home. I hadn’t laughed so hard at a movie since the first _ **Naked Gun** _ came out. ---

> [@Slow\_Moving\_Vehicle](#): > > Just read that part of the reason _Damnation Alley_ looked so bad was that Fox, the studio, took a quarter of its budget to finish their other sci-fi movie of 1977 - _Star Wars._ What might have been… Can you imagine a universe without all the dreck since ESB, but filled with good Zelazny movies? _Doorways In the Sand?_ _Lord of Light?_ But then again, we’d also probably get every fucking Amber book as a trilogy. Better left as is, I think. ---
