Mac and Me.

So who else remembers this spectacular knockoff of "E.T."?

I got it from Netflix because I LOVED this movie when I was younger and thought Jason might enjoy it. We're watching it right now, and oh lord, it is cheesy as hell. That doesn't mean that I hate it now, though. How can you hate a movie that packs product placement, tacky movie type songs, AND a dance off AT McDonald's into 95 minutes?

Beautiful. Just beautiful. If I didn't hate McDonald's so much, I'd go get me some Chicken McNuggets, fries, and a Coke for old times sake.

I love the 80s.

So you're the one that saw this, huh? I always wondered.

I honestly know nothing about this movie. I do remember the box at the video store with the kid and something that resembled a retarded Sea Monkey on his shoulders. (For the record, I mean how they drew the Sea Monkeys for the ads, playing volleyball and stuff, not the ocean gnats you ended up getting.) One look at it told me very quickly I'd never see it. But, to be completely fair, I didn't like "E.T." either. The only joy for me seeing "E.T." were the two black women a few rows in front of me who enhanced the film with their constant observations on how ugly E.T. was. I love those women. They made my two hours so much better. I hope Calgon came and took them away to happiness.

I didn't see "Batteries Not Included" either. I don't want my movie aliens to be the die-uh-beat-us guy offering me eternal life and oatmeal. I want them attacking wielding massive linear lunar dyroid extractors or something.

Wow, sure had a lot to offer on the movie you originally posted about, huh?

Not a bit, but it certainly made me laugh.

Okay, so what do you think about "Mars Attacks!"?

I actually liked the movie quite a bit. I know it wasn't very well received by critics and people overall. For me it was just too ridiculous not to enjoy. I suppose one must have a specific warp in their sense of humour to really get a kick out of "Mars Attacks!" Some gots it, some doesn't. It was never going to be a universal crowd-pleaser. Even I'm not happy with some aspects of the movie (specifically too little Michael J. Fox, too much Sarah Jessica Horseface, and Jack Nicholson in a double role that really didn't even need to exist) but I find it entertaining enough.

Besides, it has TOM FLIPPIN' JONES in it. It wins hands down.
