Ten minutes remain until ! This is your last chance to set up a filter! If you're joining in, now's the time to get the movie cued up! C'mon people we're CIRCUS, we're better than this!

It's gonna be interesting to see what they cut from this flick for . I'm expecting at least one cheap boob shot.

💡 TURN DOWN YOUR LASERS 💡

(where applicable)

Irwin Yablanas, synonymous with good film.

Aw man, Eddie Deezen :/ Dude was the Urkel of the 70s :/

The spaceship and aliens are *the one and only good part* of this film.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce Gr'xccthor and Bob!

Oh no, Coleman Francis! They've wandered into The Beast of Yucca Flats!

She turns around like OH GOD I FORGOT D:

Our protagonist needs to put a shirt on. *Real* bad.

Moooom, why don't you want to stay at home with meeeee, your whiny and unlovable protagonist soooon?

Oh thank god, he does own a shirt.

Klinger, what are you doing in a cop car?

One day the funny part will stop.

This film's a bit like I Accuse My Parents in that it desperately wants you to see the main character as a decent kid who is put upon by his circumstances, but actually *shows us* an obnoxious loser who mostly creates his own problems.

This was before Pew-Pew was invented. You had to get by with Pow!, which lets face it kind of sucks.

So this is DorkassLoserton, huh?

See, the problem here is that this scene -- indeed, EVERY scene in this movie! -- would be vastly improved by claymation turtlefolk.

MORE ordinary!? Is that *possible*???

...So does he actually TALK to his girlfriend at some point?

MEANWHILE IN A VASTLY MORE INTERESTING MOVIE

"Hey dipshits, you forgot the weapon of mass destruction. Head back to the loser planet and pick it up, what do I even pay you people for?"

He's posing for an easy listening album cover. AND the 8-track!

...was that the opening bars to Walk Like an Egyptian?

Good GOD look at the sunburns at this party! At this rate its a race between the skin cancer and the lung cancer :/

Look

The less time I have to spend listening to Simulated Teens talk about their braunschwagers the better I'm gonna like this film.

Aaaaaand Jaws. ...Please? :/

Saved some money by filming the cast party at least.

THERE's the groady boob shot I was expecting!

"She went inside to get changed"

'Course that was two weeks ago, so...

This is too much Deezen. :/

And now, Also Sprach Zarathustra as played on theremin.

...So are we supposed to feel bad for the rapey guy's car getting vaporized?

Like, I think the film wants us to see this as Billy's start of darkness, but that seemed like a pretty measured response to a danger to the community.

PLEASE stop trying to be funny.

This was before the Men in Black had settled on branding. At this stage they were workshopping "Men in Brown," y'know.

Oh yes, The Old Walden Place. Probably haunted.

Yeah, lotta guys have a problem getting a breast cancer screening.

"Tease Shirt"

and pants that say go away.

I hate when they give Eddie Deezen lines :/

"Can I get dressed now"

You've got no shirt on, that IS dressed for you.

"And then we stage an extended sequence where our hero has a boil lanced!"

"Are you sure, sir, that seems kind of--"

"Trust me, kid, zit popping scenes are all the rage in Hollywood today!"

"Diane, February 28th. I'm entering the town of Twin Peaks."

Oh! The turtle aliens are participating in ! What's your handle, Grxx'lthor?

The Man in the JC Penny's Suit.

I wonder how his mom's doing in Acapulco. I bet that's a more interesting film than this.

Laserblast the deputies, Billy. I'll give you a nickel.

SCIENCE! INDUSTRY! GREASY 70'S GUYS! ALL WORKING FOR THE FUTURE! AT 3-M!~

"Whatever it is, it's growing."

Can't be the audience's interest, then.

Uh oh. I sense another Funny Part™ :/

"Billy, you asleep?"

I can never tell.

ugh gross

like two pufferfish making out D:

Like watching a man massage a side of pork. :/

Sure, I'll have an entire bottle of scotch. Might make the movie go down smoother.

@CactuarJoe later released as a soft porn by the same production company.
