just waiting for my next visit, aren't you.
just waiting to hear stories about Val Kilmer and restraining orders on set, directors told to "go on vacation" 2 months before the film was finished, the editor and the fx supervisor coming up with an ending, and all sorts of other good stuff.
Oh, yes, we'll have to come up sometime soon....

Tue, May 30, 2006 - 6:09 PMThose of us in the Dark Room Bad Movie Night Cabal (i.e. the one's who do the "gardening" out back before each show) have recently been discussing the characteristics of movie badness in direct relation to their budgets. After all, anyone with no budget, no talent, no script, no sets, no costumes and no idea what they are doing should excell at producing a real stinker. However, when one has executive producers, stars and starlets, a boatload of Nazi gold, plus a seemingly decent plot idea, to take all of those ingredients and deliver a turd, well, that's first class bad moviemaking. One the other hand, with all those resources, the resultant bad movie should have the sexy starlets wearing oversized farmers clothes, the location sets in Tunisia should be all filmed at night so you'd think you were behind a Safeway, the plot has to be so insane as to actually cause your brain to bleed out your ears and the producers would be present at the Dark Room to hand out double refunds. Thus, while Red Planet confounds anyone with a 2nd grade understanding of physics, and the plot is as predictable as rain in January, the colors were sort of nice and what's wrong with watching Tim Robbins die a horrible death?

Wed, May 31, 2006 - 10:22 AMHa ha! you've fallen into the "too many mars movies released at the same time" syndrome, TMMMRATSTS! The Tim Robbins mars movie was "Mission to Mars" and dealt with the so called "face." Also Bad Movie Night fodder.
Red Planet is FAR worse.
Red Planet stars Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore,Carrie Ann Moss (forever to be known as "the Matrix chick") and an underutilized Terrence Stamp, aka the lone British actor we hired to try to legitimize this stinker. Several months in the director was not speaking to the cast, and the cast weren't speaking to each other. and then the restraining order showed up....
Just you wait, Henry Higgins, just you wait... -

What's really tragic is that we have to watch this in order to understand the context of the Ennio Morricone music score.
Otherwise, it would be like watching somebody diligently polish something for 2 hours without seeing that the polished object is a turd.
