Garr...so me quartermate was all witchin' bout wantin' to rent a movie. So we decided to go to the video store, and he gets some old 80s film called "Ice Pirates". Never saw it before in my life, but the word "pirates" made me interested. Horrible, horrible film. Anyone else ever see this movie???

Mr. Scabbs... Yeah, I've seen this movie several times. We've talked about it here on the board a long while ago. Different folks have different opinions. I was never much of a fan of this flick. Some people thought it was a fun movie. It actually is fun for me when we have a lot of people over to watch it together and make fun of it. But, thats just me. If you want to see another movie thats pretty bad, but can be fun to watch anyway, see...... Captain Kidd... staring Charles Laughton.. I hoped I spelled that right. I found this one at a nearby store for 2dollars. Watch it and you'll know why.... have fun... The Capt.

I disagree. It was designed to be a parody of the space epics of its time - it wasn't meant to be serious. And as parody, it works pretty well. Does anyone really think the Space Herpie was serious art? Besides, Anjelica Houston's boots alone are worth watching the movie - now that's some pretty "hip" pirate boots. Best watched with a couple bottles of wine in ya!
