review: lol. a bad but funny space comedy action movie. it doesn't do anything well, but there were a few moments or twists that made me giggle. better than "Star Wars" for sure.

âšž the spaceship gets herpe (singular?)
âšž very weird jarring and good time skip thing at end
âšž space eunuchs
âšž amazons
⚟ the worst part was the over-the-top, prolonged hetersexual sex scene

review: i had disregarded this movie many years ago as a middling monster movie, but it's so much more than that. it is about class, addiction, post-war japan, sex appeal! the set and character design are over the top and really make an impact at the climax.

review: A reaaaally good BBC mini-series (which is practically a movie). The texture of the film made me relax (nostalgia). For me it brought up thoughts about anthropogenic climate change and fossil fuels, distrust of nature and science, the self-destructive nature of nature, the way able people think disability is a death sentence. Watching it motivated me to finally try and read Wyndham's book.

review: funny. zany. wacky. a lot of good gags. Whitey's Lindy Hoppers bring it to an amazing level of energy. some of it's certainly dated (robert e lee sketch) but overall i liked it.
