I saw it for the first time about a year ago. Two unfortunately things were that my friends who I saw it with didn't appreciate it. They though that with all the camp elements that it was supposed to be a comedy.
And second that we saw the director's cut with this really unnecessary fade to comic book panels and page turn edit effect that really took you out of the reality of the moment.
NO NO NO...you must see the original. There are some movies like this one and Animal House that I have shown to people who have never seen them and they hated both films. Sometimes it's all about the time the films come up that makes them special. This one was one of those films you heard so many bad things about - gang fights outside and inside of theatres. It was THE movie to see but I was too young to get in. It was one of those films that I watched when it first came on video and loved it ever since. It's a very polarizing film.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
