The name says it all. |
How bad of a movie is this? It's bad. Wicked, naughty, bad. It needs to be spanked.
It was made by a Canadian company, financed by a public TV station in New York, and based on a story by John Varley
"Never show a good movie in the middle of your crappy one." |
You'd be wrong.
Oh, and I'm not even counting the fact that not only does it look like it was recorded on videotape, it actually was recorded on videotape.
Puerto Rican data processor Aram Fingal is bored with his job so he spends the work day watching movies like Casablanca
"Come ... as you are ... to my mall ... to my atrium." | Not sure what this scene was all about, but it had a nearly-naked chick. | I can't tell if those are iPads or Galaxy Tabs. |
Observer and Pearl sing "When Loving Lovers Love." |
They nailed the whole PBS fundraising shows. The phone banks -- staffed by Ortega -- were standing by ready to take your pledge. Pearl and Observer sing their duet, "When Loving Lovers Love," which was an instant classic.
Pearl's Host Segments more than made up for the lame monkey-Mike bits. I thought the PBS parts were the highlight of the show, maybe even of the season.
Despite how bad this movie was, I still have a soft spot for it. They seemed to appreciate the movie Casablanca, which is one of my favorite films.
They ended Season Eight on a high note.
