Things that please me: bad 80s movie edition
In the vein of writing about something else besides Afghanistan, I thought I'd mention my favourite Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode, their dissection of Space Mutiny, which is online until the copyrighters (sic) find it at Google Video.
If you never got into the MyST thing back in the 90s this really is the one you should see, which has the crew in fine form taking apart what really could be one of the worst movies of the 1980s. Just do what everybody else does and FF through the interstitials; it's the movie with the voiceover commentary that everyone should probably be legislatively required to view. It really is our generation's Plan 9: heroically, determinedly awful.
