The Last Movie You Watched

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Saw it twice at the theater. Second to see if the important things were contrived beyond hope. Happily they weren't.

There’s supposed to be a third one in the works. Looking forward to it.

Yeah, we haven't had the "mountain people" yet. War in the floating mountains? I'm in!

The Pale Blue Eye. Not bad, exactly, just kind of disappointing.

I saw it a while back. In what way did you find it disappointing?

It just wasn’t much of a mystery - I sussed it out about 20 minutes in. Very watchable, though - good performances, good atmosphere. I just thought the story could have been better constructed.

This week in the Deep Hurting Project: Star Games.

• So, fun fact, I just finished watching Sweet Smell of Success and it's kind of jarring to see him 40 years older and in something this shit. Apparently, he never watched the final product, but he remembers the hatchback his paycheck paid for.
  
• This movie has three visual modes: dark colours on a black background, black on a dark-coloured background, and eyesore.
  
• Also, is it just me or does it look like the mothership was made from a bra owned by the three-titted sex worker from Total Recall?
  
• It's been seven minutes and how many times have they re-used the same exact shot of the bad guy's hand on the console?
  
• That's what the bad guy looks like? A mound of shit with bug eyes wearing a shawl?
  
• And why is the Prince's ship's navigator a fucking clown?
  
• And now, they've gone from Ed Wood's kids' home movies to a movie about a diabetic kid who's dragged onto a camping trip and can't keep his eyes off his Game Gear.
  
• So, you've seen a bear and it doesn't seem to be interested in eating you. It's not even looking in your general direction. What dost thou deau? Walk away slowly, hoping it keeps on not giving a shit or do you run away?
  
• Great parenting there. Your kid's getting chased by a bear and you just drive away.
  
• And now they've randomly decided to fuse the two movies together. Don't know why or how, since the Prince isn't speaking, just magicking a Harryhausen T-Rex in the bear's general direction.
  
• Mars is Funich? Presumably Jupiter is Perlin, Uranus is Quseldorff, Saturn is Krankfurt, and Neptune is Wresden.
  
• It's nice to know the Prince's family had the sense to send him lots of hard tack.
  
• You're from... and you pointed up? Okay, I know you're an alien, but, from that get-up, it looks like you're from Roanoke.
  
• The diabetic kid's reaction to the Tony Curtis hologram giving the Call to Adventure is apparently to look like he's really wasted.
  
• Doesn't everybody watch Star Trek? Funny thing: in my 33 years and 2 months on Earth, I have only watched a single episode of any Star Trek series. It was okay, but nothing to make me want to get into the dauntingly massive Star Trek canon.
  
• And of course they're claiming the Pyramids were from aliens and not something Egyptians could have come up with. Of course they are. And they're also forgetting that the Rosetta Stone deciphered Ancient Egyptian in the early 19th Century.
  
• The clown is just an interface for a computer? And somehow, he's less creepy than this diet Jeff Goldblum. At least Goldblum didn't need the money to buy a hatchback. Also, why the fuck is he doing the "You Talkin' to Me" spiel?
  
• So they actually do celebrate the "day of their birth." I was thinking for a while that with the Prince's cold mentioning of "the day of my birth", they didn't celebrate birthdays. Maybe they were space Jehovah's Witnesses and maybe the bad guy was an early version of Darth Magog from before he decided that maybe a bug-eyed pile of shit draped in a shawl wasn't an intimidating look for an evil overlord.
  
  
  
• Interplanetary travel is forbidden? Then what was with that space battle in the beginning?
  
•  And the way Tony Curtis' assistant talks of Earth, you'd swear he was a right-winger talking about Chicago.
  
• And now the clown is a general and he's prone to randomly impersonating Raymond Babbit.
  
• The Gift? Are they talking about HIV? Are these aliens bug-chasers?
  
• Fun Fact: Before DJ MarshMello decided to become a DJ, he was a Stormtrooper for Darth Magog.
  
• So, their plan was to distract him with this image of a reptilian? This is like that scene from Smiling Friends with the ant.
  
  
  
• Well, it's nice to know that these stormtroopers need their target to be still. Just walk away and they'll be totally useless.
  
• You'll never understand what just happened? It made enough sense to me: the mothership used their tractor beams and teleporters to beam up his dead body.
  
• A rope that can do whatever the fuck it wants. Why not?
  
• Does any passage of time require such an obvious wipe?
  
• If these robots can be decapitated by bumping into a hemp rope, they're clearly just shit robots. Hell, my Roomba is so messed up that it's losing parts and falling down stairs, but even it's not that shit.
  
• So, you summoned a gun, but it requires a password, but you don't have the one thing that makes it work?
  
  
  
• I swear, "The Gift" is just whatever the fuck the writer wants it to be at any moment, isn't it? 
  
• And the weapons only work for one occasion before needing to be re-licensed?
  
• Does anyone else want to see DJ MarshMello make a sex tape with a bear? 
  
• I swear, the ranger looks like Stathis Borans from The Fly. But why is he a bad guy now?
  
• And why does nothing like this forest look like it's anywhere near Niles?
  
• And it turns out that seeing his own insulin needle spurs the kid into action to save the prince.
  
• Vomiting has to be a very inconvenient means of relieving demonic possession.
  
• Huh. Tony Curtis randomly cured the kid's diabetes. And his mind will be warped so that, somehow, he'll end up needing to stick a needle in his body one day and have perfectly functioning blood sugar the next. 
  
• That bear on Darth Magog's spaceship reminded me of an episode of .
  
• So that amnesia barely lasted. And now they're teasing for a sequel that will never happen because nobody involved but Tony Curtis ever worked again after this.
