Just something about a B budget sci-fi movie with a beachball posing as an "alien" that I cannot resist!
That movie was so laid back. And they killed the beachball with feet with a dart gun. LOL

Two Lane Blacktop! My favorite boring movie ever next to There Will Be Blood.

My favorite part is when Warren Oats is finally going to tell his story and James Taylor cuts him off: "I don't care. Its not my problem."

My junior high distributed free tickets to see Billy Jack, and let us out of school early to go see a matinee. I've never seen "The Born Losers" - it's going on my Netflix queue!

I didn't realize Tom Laughlin died last month.
You almost can't beat Robot Monster- the gorilla with the space man head!

And then his leader is the same thing with a violin string.

A lot of people didn't like Survive The Night (1992) but I love it.

I was just bumping BENSON: ARIZONA last night.

Little known fact- there was originally a third verse to the song which is now lost, so it is a thing amongst sci-fi fans to write their own.

I thought Bubba Ho-tep was a great 45 minute movie. Unfortunately, I think it ran closer to 2 hours. There just wasn't enough story there to justify its running time.
