I can’t even imagine writing the manual for the real thing.

I remember see this movie when I was around 8 or 9 years old. I can’t believe Sean Connery took this role, but I glad he did because it wouldn’t be as epic of a fail without him.

This is probably the greatest line from any movie ever made:

“The gun is good. The penis is evil. The penis shoots seeds, and makes new life to poison the Earth with a plague of men, as once it was, but the gun shoots death, and purifies the Earth of the filth of brutals. Go forth . . . and kill!”

I can’t believe this never crossed my radar. I don’t know whether to thank or kill the person (Lesley) who allow this movie to enter my consciousness.

Seems to be a really bad attempt at “The Rock Horror Picture Show” meets “Phathom of the Opera” meets Paul Williams?

Fun fact of the day: Paul Williams was the the Prof. Virgil, the genius orangutan, in Battle for the Planet of the Apes. He was pure 70s goodness.

The common movie scene that sticks in my head is when the hero shakes the hand of some truly evil person or  a disguised Satan .  The hero freezes and the camera does a closeup on the eyes. Horrific images of destruction and mayhem flash by on the screen. The person’s true character is then revealed with a bunch of choir boys singing “AH! AH! AH! AH!” as the background music.

This is the image I think Obama saw…Lord Humongous, the warrior of the wasteland.
