And this week's entry in the 'So-Bad-It's-Horrible-a-Thon': Biodome. Well, this is easily worse than Fant4stic or Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas.
Seriously, this is one of the most obnoxious films I've ever seen. The movie's opening titles look like shit, like the Z-tech version of the guys who made the title scene for Seven, and then, the second we see Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin on screen, where they're randomly fighting each other in the hopes of not being dragged to something and making loud and irritating noises, I immediately hate them. I understand that Pauly Shore's style is obnoxious, but when I saw him in Son in Law over a decade ago, he wasn't this fucking bad. He could at least shut the fuck up for longer than a second then. And then his turning the Biodome around comes out of fucking nowhere and happens only because the plot says Biodome shouldn't turn into a FEMA emergency.
Of course, there's the plot. These two idiots managed to sneak onboard this BioDome for a year-long experiment and they're not kicked out just because. I mean, sure, the point of the experiment is creating a closed system for a year, but they were discovered before the dome was sealed. Also, the dome being as utterly sealed as the film implies is so unfeasible that even the actual BioSphere it's based on even allowed the seal to be broken for an injured scientist to receive treatment. And still they leave a key in a lock in the desert.
Any good things about it? Well, William Atherton does a damn good job and easily becomes the most sympathetic character when he leaves the two to die in the desert biome (even though it's easily accessible via staircase and they would seem to leave easily), and some of the music is actually good, like The Safety Dance, Stuck in the Middle With You, Da Da Da, and even the Tenacious D cameo.
I first stopped around the 30 minute mark, and by the time I came back, I had had an exhausting day of just downloading Excel spreadsheets from Suppliernet, and somehow, I started to warm to the film. And it all evaporated as soon as this scene came.
As someone who recently bought Blue Velvet on Blu-Ray, this is all I have to say about them calling Dorothy Valens (whose husband was killed, son was kidnapped, and was kept as a sex slave by the guy who did both those things) a slut:
Fuck it. It's not quite as horrible as I was dreading, but it's still utter shit, and probably the worst comedy I've ever seen. Well, here's hoping Season 1 of The Larry Sanders Show will cleanse my palate.
