Seriously Stupid Movies



The premise for Space Camp is really really goofy, right? How unbelievably unsafe was it to test the main boosters with students onboard the space shuttle? How does that ever even get approved as a class field trip? Where is the oversight? How did people keep their jobs over this screw up? Then even after they have launched these punks into orbit, the numnuts from NASA can't figure out how to bring the kids home but the teens can do that for themselves because as we know all teen girls know Morse Code in 1986 (don't ask) Why does any movie involving a return to Earth need to make the radio silence so dramatic? It's always life or death during the ionization blackout. Why wear helmets if you don't have oxygen or spacesuits? Why am I so glad that everyone could learn their life lessons BEFORE LANDING THE FREAKING SHUTTLE AND BEFORE THE INVESTIGATION AND INQUEST BEGINS!?! Why does having a spunky Lea Thompson in your 80s movie just make everything better?
