The upcoming movie KIN reminds me of the very bad 70s movie Laserblast. See if you can spot the similarities and differences.
Laserblast was the movie that I was INSANE to see when I first read about it in Starlog Magazine. I would read the article about it all the time and think about the movie during school time. It never showed around us and there were no videos of the film out there until well into the Age of Video. It must have been five years before I actually got a copy and sat down at my Beta machine and started the film.
I was never more disappointed in all my life. No, really. Watching the trailer I think you can see why. I mean even in the 80s that crap wouln't pass muster. Maybe the last of the 'high class' Grindhouse films of the 70s.
I have seen Laserblast. It was on MST3K and it definitely a pretty solid episode. Pretty strange movie, but that's not a surprise. I love the bizarrely comical sheriff's deputies in the movie, though.
saw the KIN trailer at an Infinity War matinee today and i immediately thought of Laser Blast. i never saw Laser Blast in theaters but I did see it on tv back in the 80s. cheesy as it was it was pretty cool and even scary at the time especially as the dude started mutating more and more with continued use of the alien laser rifle.
Thanks for the mention ;-) Laserblast was a new one on me (and I thought I had a pretty broad grasp of trashy movies) but the trailers do suggest some major plot similarities with KIN.
May have to track Laserblast down, although everything I've read suggests I will immediately regret it...
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.
