On transgendered easter day, I watched:

Imagine waiting 5 YEARS to polish this turd! Someone comes up with another few 
hundred bucks, and, oh yeah! - We can finish it!

> ONE OF THE DUMBEST MOVIES I'VE EVER SEEN!- THE ASTRO ZOMBIES (1968):
> https://youtu.be/yjT97CajBbY?si=kgyooVaxyPE7pwtY

Dude, you are seriously underrating this cinematic icon. Even if you can ignore 
the fact that 'The Astro Zombies' is one of the coolest titles ever, it is 
impossible to overlook its many triumphs. First, the cars are awesome: the 
Mustang, the Cadillac, the vertical headlight Pontiac that the villains are 
cruising around in with their homemade radar -- all classics. Second: The chick 
that 'Igor' is experimenting on is HOT! Who is she? How did she get there? Who 
the hell cares! Such questions mean nothing to any heterosexual male. Third: 
Wendell Corey is slurring his words and most probably drunk, right there on 
screen! Next: a human brain with built-in spring reverb -- are you f*cking 
kidding me? Sign me up!! Everyone must get that transplant now -- you'll thank 
me later! Also, the dancer in that night club is unforgettable, and probably the 
real reason why the CIA guys went there in the first place -- see? It all make 
sense. Finally -- and I can't believe I need to point this out to anyone -- Tura 
Satana, the chick from 'Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!', the woman who showed 
Elvis how to go down on a woman, is wiggling around in a pink dress that looks 
like it's about to fall off, all the while outwitting the good guys, out bad-
assing the bad guys, and brazenly meeting her fate at the hands of an astro 
zombie. I'll stack this classic up against 'Avatar' or the female Ghost Busters 
any day or night! That is all.

I've seen this on MST3K, and yeah, it is as bad as Mark makes it out to be. My 
advice if you do check it out, watch the MST3K version. Mike and the Bots make 
it far better to enjoy.

While I haven’t seen the film, this does look genuinely disturbing, not to 
mention of its time: The teddy bear that “communicates” is reminiscent of David 
Berkowitz and the dog that “told” him to kill. Clearly, the phenomenon of the 
serial-killer was on the filmmaker’s mind. Also, bullying, like depicted here, 
was quite common then, I remember well, unfortunately.

Sadly, this movie and the panic that inspired it, influenced an entire 
generation.  I was ostracized from my mom's drunk and drugged family when they 
found out I played.

The REAL story!!!
Cindy is actually brilliant. She told Rick about her situation hoping he would 
immediately take things seriously and go after the cult. When she realized he 
would rather drink and rub ice cubes all over her, she devised a plan. The 
reason she threw her helmet off was to fake her own death. Then she hid out, 
knowing that this would finally motivate him. That is why everyone at the 
funeral accepted the closed and empty casket. They all knew. Everyone but Rick 
knew. And after the ending hospital scene Cindy said thank you as she felt she 
owed him that at least. Then she told him to quit drinking and singing. Because 
it's horrible. And she never saw him again.
The end.

It perplexes me how the director of this film (and other terrible films) watched 
the final product and was like, “Yeah, this is a good representation of my 
abilities as an actor, writer, producer, director”.

I really can’t figure out if Neil is blissfully unaware of his ineptitude or if 
he is a master class troll and WE are the fools.

The funniest part is that I never see the werewolf doing something bad lmao, 
like they didnt even say or show why the werewolf is such a big problem or why 
the rich guy want it dead. They never show a flashback where the werewolf kill 
his parents or kill some villagers or 'something'. And its never explained why 
or how the rich guy got all those people in there against their will and how/why 
he suspect the werewolf was among them. And I mean, yea, it killed the security 
guy, but he shot it first, so it was self defense tbh. And the old guy in his 
room was probably killed by the werewolf wife, who btw got infected completely 
by accident, so it wasnt it either. And the dog, well, the dog attacked first 
too.

That "freeze" gun was a real toy from that era. It ended up getting banned for 
damaging children's hearing from being fired too close to their ears.

He’s career arc is almost   full Breen at this point. 
Sadly he’ll never quite reach such greatness no matter how hard he doesn’t try.

This one hits weirdly close to home for me.  I watch the MST3k It Conquered the 
World pretty often.  There is so much overlap between the two.  It honestly 
benefits from a touch up, I am pretty forgiving but the alien would have been 
bad for a theater performance much less a film.  A lot of the scenes are pretty 
much the same between the two films otherwise.

Oh yeah, the SCTV episode with Conrad Bain's brother! I love that a younger 
person than me has enjoyed it.

The original story was written by well respected screenwriter Ben Hecht, who had 
written for Hitchcock and the original ‘Scarface’ from the early 1930s. He wrote 
it as a comedy. The filmmakers did not realise that and made it as a serious
