I agree.
They’re the holographic dancers. One does spend an inordinate amount of time showing his/her/it’s crotch.
I just found a copy and watched it.
I want my two torturously long hours back.
That said, wasn’t there also a “Kitchen Wars” or “Appliance Wars” spoof out there somewhere at sometime?
Hardware Wars…
HBO used to run it constantly as a between movies filler, along with “Closet Cases of the Nerd Kind” which was, of course, a similarly done spoof of Close Encounter.
Ham Salad, Chewie the Wookie Monster (who was a pretty Cookie Monster looking hand puppet) and… What the hell was Leia’s name in that thing?
In any case, I clearly recall that the Millenium Falcon was a flying iron, and in one shot the Wookie Monster eats a danish off the side of Leia’s head, to the familiar “Aruhm rum rum rum” eating noises that Cookie always made on Sesame Street.
Damn. That one I gotta track down, now.
Hardware Wars.
First fan film ever? I saw it in 1979.
Yeah, I don’t remember what it was called, but it involved egg beaters firing “lasers” at one another.
Ah yes, the egg beater Tie Fighters…
And Darth Vader (whatever he was called) was completely unintelligible, as I recall… during the flashlight duel with Okie Wan Fenokey, he kept gargling at Okie Wan, who just kept asking “What? What? What?” as a flashlight shined in his eyes…
Or something like that.
Oh my stars and garters…
It’s available on DVD y’all.
It was Princess Anne-Droid.
And she had actual danishes on her head, from what I hear.
(I never saw about it, I’ve just read about it).
I just downloaded it and watched it.
Worst episode EVER! That was the worst thing I have ever and will ever watch!!!
I’m depressed I will never be able to watch any of the Stars Wars movies again without having that horrible memory in the back of my mind.
No, to CUM out on the other side!
I think Bea Arthur’s involvement in this should be examined more closely.
I’m going off in search for a copy of it now, unless one of you could be so kind to send me an e-mail so I have a more direct way of finding it as opposed to a google search. I had also rented “I Spit on Your Grave” so I could put up a new bullet review this weekend, maybe there’ll be a two-fer.
…in that no matter how many times you tell someone “it’s bad. Really, quite bad,” they never believe you. Everyone thinks that they’re the one who will be able to MSTify it, they’ll see the humor that no one else could find…
They’re all wrong.
This thing sucks. Don’t watch it. Honestly, this isn’t one of those “Tuscany is full, don’t bother trying to go there” things. Everyone who’s telling you not to watch it honestly has your best interests at heart. It isn’t funny, it isn’t campy, it isn’t even competently made.
And to those who complain about Bea Arthur? I say give me MORE Bea Arthur, if it means LESS Harvey Korman in drag!
Anyway, please go out and watch “Hardware Wars,” watch “Thumb Wars,” watch “The Muppet Show” with Mark Hamill (and let me know if you find the Vincent Price episode on DVD), but DO NOT WATCH THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL. Deep Hurting! Deep Hurting!
Of course, no one is going to take this seriously… No one ever does… At least not until they spend 20 minutes with Itchy and Lumpy.
These words he speaks are true.
This doesn’t make any sense, does it? Why am I talking about Chewbacca? Now, if Chewbacca don’t make sense, you must acquitt.
The Vincent Price episode of the Muppet Show is out there, it’s on my disc with the Alice Cooper episode and (I believe) Marty Feldman.
Anybody else notice Bruce Vilanch was a writer on this thing? Were they surprised?
[ralph wiggum] Oww, I bent my wookie. [/ralph wiggum]
Ooh, is that the one where Feldman does the great Casablanca parody? I don’t really care too much for/about Alice Cooper, but in order to achieve my goal of seeing everything Vincent Price every made, I’ll need to watch his Muppet Show episode again.
Back to the Life Day Spectacular: not only Bruce Vilanch, but an embarassingly long list of so-called “professionals” made this piece of crap. At least Carrie Fisher had the excuse of being all hopped up on goofballs, and Harrison Ford has the decency to look extremely uncomfortable and all too aware of how embarassing the whole affair is.
Again, in the words of Paul Anka, just don’t look, just don’t look.. Watch “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians,” watch the bad remake of “Miracle on 34th Street,” heck, even watch “Jingle All the Way” (I saw that one in a bar, with the sound turned off, and it STILL sucked), but DO NOT WATCH the Star Wars Holiday Special.
Although I’d rather watch it again than sit through “Send In The Clones” again.
Frankly, I’m surprized Joe Esterhaus wasn’t part of this.
