You re...I'll tell you what this reminds me of.<br /><br />You remember when you were at school and you'd write stories clearly based on characters off the telly, in the belief that your teacher wouldn't recognise the references?<br /><br />That's what this is like.Bernie Fishnoteshttp://www.outpostwho.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075740671122268515.post-11934939432811596212010-01-31T13:39:27.853+11:002010-01-31T13:39:27.853+11:00Lmao.

Oh goo...<i>Man, your review brought me a lot of mirth.</i><br />Oh good.

Surprised that you didn't follow <i>Sharpe's 7</i> with your Margrs-caution of "May not be as cool as title suggests".<br /><br />I was so intrigued by the bizarre events you described I googled the title - cannot BELIEVE that this came out last year. Who'd have thought B/Z-grade was still going strong enough to produce this shite?<br /><br />Not many people on Amazon or IMDb have seen it. One of the Amazoners, like yourself, was frustrated at the misleading B7 title and was told<br /><br /><i>Won't don't you make the "perfect Movie" so I can cure my insomnia? Repeat ten times in a row, "It's just a movie." You begin to hopefully mellow out a little. </i><br /><br />which I thought was a disproportionate response.<br /><br />The IMDBer who saw it said<br /><br /><i>evidently, someone said something to upset a Food Service worker, because an overdose of psychiatric drugs in the Koolaid is the only explanation for the following hour and a half I saw. <br /><br />[... ]<br /><br /> kid you not-- this movie is a nonstop sequence of lurid cheapo-sets, sophomoric humor, an absolutely obscure and bizarre war plot interspersed with some pretty good creature effects, battle scenes, spaceship crashes, adrenaline-pumped cyborgs, an alien pyramid, a leatherclad temptress who is the President of Earth. . .and the best yet: a 70's Blaxploitation flashback!!!<br /><br />...<br /><br />if your teenager is watching this. . .maybe you'd be better off NOT KNOWING that your teenager was watching this so as to give yourself Plausible Deniability when being interviewed by Child Protective Services.</i><br /><br />Sounds like he's on a similar page to yourself.Jared "No Nickname" Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13825668092428993308noreply@blogger.com
