I have it on Laserdisc in a collection of Ed Wood stuff. It's also
online since it is public domain. He was indeed the king of schlock.
I caught a laugh with "Jupiter Ascending" when they call the elephant
headed pilot "Nesh."
"Prometheus" was a real disappointment.

I tried to watch it - man was it awful! Lame acting and RIDICULOUSLY
bad dialogue.
It might vie for worst sci fi film with that god awful Prometheus.
Prometheus was abysmal. And worse than just being a bad film with a
tired cliche in every frame it completely undermined the first Alien
film which is still marvelous. What was Ridley Scott thinking!
But maybe the new Terminator film will give it a run for it's money.
There was a great film that surely didn't need a sequel, but it got
one that made no sense at all and, once again, undermined the
original. I don't know why people rate T2 at all. Better special
effects probably. But the series went rapidly downhill, the last one
with Christian Bale was dreadful, all t! hose cheesy references to
dialogue in the first film made me want to scream "Make it stop!" but
I was in a cinema and was probably in a minority anyway. People must
love those references or they wouldn't always do them right?
Worst sci-fi movie I have ever seen must be Battleship. It isn't
really sci-fi but people will think it is because it's got big robots
in it. It's more accurately described as an advert for America's
values and it's endless fight against the nameless terrors that
threaten the safety of the American way of life.
Been a lot of films like that recently. Aliens with no backstory,
stopping the hapless residents from going about their business, I
don't know why they don't just call the monsters Ayrabh's or
Gheehadees or something as they aren't fooling anyone. One thing they
get wrong though is that the aliens they come up against are always
highly organised and technologically advanced, unlike America's real
enemies. Go figure...

I watched "Jupiter Ascending" last night. It's a "tentpole movie."
IOW, something the Wachowski's did to get funding for projects they
really want to do. It's a very basic story, sorta a takeoff on
Cinderella (if you get the homage). Lots of temporary employment for
CG artists.

Jupiter Ascending got bad reviews, and I found it good enough to
watch two times already. All kinds of production values and new tech

It Follows is a rude slap in the face comparatively. Turns out it is
simply a "see girls in underwear running" flick.....AND THAT'S IT.
It's got about twenty things that piss ya off: characters going
into dark places alone, being too dumb to find practical help, and
endlessly starting the fucking movie over and over again with the
same exact scenario: waiting for IT, and then running.
Just trying to save ya getting emotionally ripped off.
Worse part of the film is that IT DOES DELIVER with a lot of good
qualities....gets ya expecting a LOGICAL and REASONABLE film, cuz,
you know, good money and minds were behind this film.
But shit.

I'll have to see for myself. With horror and science fiction people
often bring pre-concieved expectations. The film is distributed by
Weinstein so might even have extras and an alternate ending.
Similarly now that "Jupiter Ascending" is at RB I'll be checking it
out for myself.
