I don’t suppose you know the name of that tv movie?
Impact IIRC. If so then the Moon didn’t explode but then everyone on the Earth simultaneously saw the collision on the Moon.
Or something.
The IMDB entry mentions that bit, and adds this:
One note of interest: the main character is Alex Kittner. Obviously an homage to one of the greatest disaster/suspense flicks ever - Jaws. Alex Kittner is the boy who is eaten at the beach, the one whose mother slaps Chief Brody in the face for keeping the beaches open. Thank god Alex was resurrected to save the Earth from a killer great white…moon!!!"
2018’s “The Predator” might have the stupidest line of film dialog in human history.
You know a lot of experts say being on the autistic spectrum isn’t actually a disorder. It’s actually the next step in human evolutionary chain.
Not to mention a major plot point in the movie is that “Autism” “genes” are actually highly desirable for a warrior race, since this is Hollywood Autism which makes you’re unsocial but can literally decipher and translate literal alien languages in the span of a few hours.
Watched, The Words, yesterday.
I really can’s say enough bad things about it. But let me start with the acting and the words. Was this supposed to be some sort of parody? I don’t understand why they would waste so much money on a great cast and let them do such shit work using such shit lines. What a train wreck.
And the older Dennis Quade gets, the more he looks like Harrison Ford.
I disagree with this. The way its put together is a bit weird (half a QT crime movie, half a Robert Rodriguez schlock horror movie). But I would not describe any Robert Rodriguez movies as dumb. The are actually one of the few examples of a movie “not taking itself seriously” that actually works IMO.
Usually saying “oh this movie doesn’t take itself too seriously its just a bit of fun” usually means its some unwatchable Hollywood action movie that is a dull collection of set piece stunts strung together with bad dialogue. Robert Rodriguez actually makes moves that “don’t take themselves seriously” and are actually fun to watch, which is a pretty clever trick to pull off IMO.
And above all, the incredibly inane plot.
But have you seen the sequel ‘Flying Piranhas’? Now that’s good.
lol you missed the 30 seconds where johnnie was trapped to some device that supposedly crammed hundreds of years of knowledge in him so he could be used in a scam to ripoff the mining operation the head alien worked for
the book wasnt bad but the ending sort of ripped off the ending 3rd dune book …
This brought to mind the afternoon I wasted 15 years ago watching “Bone Eater” (Bone Eater - Wikipedia). Other than being supremely stupid, it was notable for casting “Native American” actors who were much whiter than anyone else in the movie.
I’m laid up in bed watching television and I turned on this piece of shit. I was thinking the same thing. They have this 15 minute scene establishing that he is the greatest rescuer/pilot/superhero in the world. They give him a team that seems like will be with him rescuing people for the rest of the movie. But when the earthquake happens he’s alone (!) in the helicopter, He flies over the entire city of Los Angeles and goes in to rescue only his ex-wife. Then he doesn’t stick around to rescue people in the city he is paid to rescue, He flies with his ex-wife to San Francisco to rescue his daughter. In the entire movie he doesn’t help anyone other than his family. Even at the end when they are in the rescue camp They can see thousands of rescuers moving into the area by air land and sea but instead of going to work he is still hang out with his family. There are still probably hundreds of thousands of people that need to be rescued but all he does is give a cheesy line about rebuilding and then turns his back literally on the city.
There are only two good things about Alien From LA: Kathy Ireland was pretty to look at and MST3K ripped it up so well I had trouble breathing I was laughing so hard.
Back in the days when there were video stores where one would rent VHS tapes and later DVDs, I accidently rented this abomination of a film. I picked it up to read the description and then put one of the movies I intended to rent back in the rack instead of this POS. Ended up watching it at home but it was awful.
I assume that massive drug abuse played a large role in how bad this film was and how it ever got made.
Hands down: Boxing Helena. Largest waste of time, money. And I just mean for ME. Can’t imagine what the dopey studio went through.
I stumbled across this one a few weeks ago. The movie poster tickled my memory, so I started watching.
I toughed it out until the title character shows up. I could go no further. I dare others to try.
No budget ROBOCOP ripoff.
