.... watered down Coors (which is already watered down swill)... --The Hat/Jefé
In our house, we call Coors, "rocky mountain piss water". UGH! You have taste, Hat.
Pilots used to throw us mechanics beer bashes. They'd fly in with cases of Coors ('cause pilots are cheap - no offense to Static :). We'd ask them why they didn't buy us real beer. I realize it isn't the most gracious thing, but you'd think that someone would realize that enlisted troops still owned taste buds.
I adore Mark Harmon but know I could never kiss him because he willingly pours piss down that gullet. sheesh!

My big time bad sci-fi has to be the "war of the worlds" second season it made no sense what so ever (the first was pretty inconsitant but still entertaining) also movie wise many people say starship troopers well get this they made a sequal which from what I've heard is truely terrible.
Edit: oh yeah they made time cop 2 as well !!

Any movie that was shown on Mystery Science Theater 3000. The show was great, the movies were not. I remember one in particular called "Space Mutiny". Geez what a waste of time. The hero looked like that jock that was so popular in high school but was also such an idiot. The effects were dumb (it was an old movie, but good sci fi does not always need special effects). The only reason to watch the movie was for Mike, Crow and Tom Servo. :) I miss that show.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Lexx yet I try to give shows a chance to catch my interests but I couldn't sit through an entire episode of Lexx.
Lexx had its good episodes! and it was enjoyable just for the eye-candy (she's one of the horniest looking lass' ive ever seen.. cant remember her name.....)

I can't believe no one has mentioned this one (unless I missed it above): Masters of the Universe! It starred Dolph Lundgren, Frank Langella, Meg Foster, Billy Barty, & an as of then unknown Courtney Cox.
It was terrible. I liked the original Masters of the Universe as a kid (though the original pales in comparison to the new cartoon my son watches), but this movie was a complete bomb.

"Dark Star" ... the end, which involves a panicked attempt at discussing phenomenology with an intelligent bomb about to go off (and take the ship that was supposed to drop it along with it) ... the end is *very funny*, but the zillion hours of tedium it takes to get to that point is hardly worth it.
AAAHHHHHHHH!!! I love the end of that movie. Yeah, it's so bad, it's good. And the bomb is hi-larious. It was a huge coup for me that my dad and brother allowed me to come along and see that bad thing. Now, what was it playing with? (remember when movies were double features?)

Actually, I have to admit to being young enough to see it on video, but old enough to get the philosophy. :-)
I don't think I've ever actually personally seen a double feature ... but I think they were still floating around when I was a kid. :-)
Cheers,
Annik

Check out the episodes with the original cast. Joel, Tom Servo, Crow, Dr. Clayton Forester and TV's Frank.
As a Twin City-an, I can attest that many of the jokes told are best understood by our breed. We get stuff that goes by you. :)
MST3K had conventions here - the "Parade of Torgos" was always a magnificent sight.

Geez. I believe some people are repressing memories...
For instance, anyone remember a little movie called Highlander 2? (I can't believe I waited in line an hour on opening day to see that piece of shit)
And of course, the Movie-That-Must-Not-Be-Named... Batman and Robin
Simon: I've never shot anyone before.
Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

I can't believe no-one has mentioned Zardoz, my favorite BAD Sci-fi and guilty pleasure. Sean Connery in a red diaper! John Boorman's direction.
*sigh* Did I say Sean Connery in a red diaper?

Highlander 2??? I am a Highlander fan & we do not recognize Highlander 2. That was a mass delusion caused by a release of methane gas.
