I can't say I rightly know if Zane Busby would or not, but in this election year I think it might be time for this one:
This satirical spoof set in 1998 didn't do well at all in 1979 when it was released - I caught it the night it premiered on Showtime a year or two later - and while as a young teen or pre-teen I enjoyed seeing lots of familiar faces - I didn't get most of the film's humor.
I'm looking forward to seeing it again now - especially as all indications point to the film being sadly prescient to the way the world has turned out today.
I got Warner Home Video to whip me up a fine DVD presentation of the movie for the video vault, and we could be chuckling (or not chuckling) at this goofy flick as soon as tonight - if you want to come watch it with me!
Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!
I own this movie as well!
ReplyDeleteVery cool - is yours a Warner Bros On Demand disc too - or do you have an older release?
Deletewtf is that? never heard of that but the trailer looks completely rad. John Ritter as president? LOL :D
ReplyDeleteA really goofy movie from the late 70's - and yeah - good ol' John Ritter as the President - the same year he took another failed shot at movie stardom with Hero at Large!
DeleteI love John Ritter and miss him terribly. He was certainly one of the best television actors. Funny, yet he could also be frightening. Caught him in a ep of Buffy and wow! He was a psychotic robot on par with Ash in Alien.
