07:09 am - The Last Starfighter
I'm off to see The Last Starfighter with eonen and others on Saturday at midnight at The Egyptian theater on Capitol Hill. This is a movie that is definitely worth the big screen. It's a fun, silly movie. Not spectacularly good, but with its own strange charm, even though it's not a quark either.
If anybody wants to come with me, they'd be welcome. Please reply to this entry and say something if you are interested. :-)
That's the first movie that just me and my dad went to. My brother was deemed too young (though I think that had to do with the time of the showing as much as the content of the movie).
My dad and I hunted for a video game that faithfully replicated the movie for quite awhile. Now, of course, the video game would be on the market before the movie and it would be a giant marketing extravaganza. But to my knowledge nobody has ever created a "The Last Starfighter" video game that was anything like the one in the movie. There was one that was fun, but it still wasn't very similar.
