Quotes

“Nothing like poopin’ indoors.”

“Did I tell you I’m a roadie for Hoobastank?”

“Are you doing this to bang my wife?”

“You are unwilling to cut-off your genitalia to make amends.”

“I’m down with the whole eardrum for an eardrum thing, but if my Eustachian tube gets infected….”

Viewer Quotes

“He was strangling him….  And his Johnson.”

“Methed up Meth-heads could outrun anybody…  Over a short distance.”

What We Learned

If you have enough drugs you can turn people to murder and cannibalism.

Three-wheelers are as unsafe as advertised (shouldn’t be operated by meth-heads)

A meth-head can survive for a long time after being disemboweled by a dog

Creature (1985)

creature

Starring: Francine Smith (American Dad), Ferris Bueller’s dad

Date Watched: 8/21/14

Plot:   A crew of scientists arrives on a far, cold planet to examine archaic artifacts of unknown origin. They discover that their German enemies already have a ship there. When they seek their help after a failed landing, they only find the Germans’ bodies, obviously slaughtered by one of the archaic creatures, awoken to new life. Now the alien is after them.

Rules

  • People on headphones
  • Old-school computer screens
  • Star Wars and/or Alien rip-offs
  • Stuff that is just WAY too 80’s (hair, lingo, technology, etc)
  • Aliens take control of a person

Quotes

  • “It looks like some sort of container or something.”
  • “Let’s go back on my space craft. I’ve got bombs there. We’ll blow it all to hell.”
  • “Like mind control?” “Except they replace the brain.” “Yeah, and we’re next on the menu.”
  • “Why were you away so long?” “I got lost…”

Viewer Quotes

  • “This is the most 80’s movie ever.”
  • “Whoa! He’s got a space-suit wedgie!”
  • “How come some people are reanimated to look like normal people, and some people are just dead?”
  • “This guy has a walkman and a track suit.  He couldn’t look any more 80’s.”
  • “So that thing just eats bodies and bites heads off?”

What We Learned

  • Never, EVER split up. 
  • Germany split into East and West Germany (again) in the future
  • Polaroid cameras were the apex of technology
  • People in space also wear nametags
  • Never assume an alien is dead. 

Final Take

  • A low budget, slow alien movie. Could have used more boobs (only one pair).
