The IMDB Bottom 100 Movies of All Times is always good for a laugh. I can say with some pride that the only ones of those I've seen were via MST3K. Might I recommend Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders to get you in the proper mood for the season (the monkey!)? And, of course, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.

But that goes without saying.

Oh, I don't hate it just for the comparisons to the book. I hate it for the glaring technical, tactical, strategic and scientific problems too. ^_^ You're certainly welcome to the DVD... but the book was just such a marvelous social commentary that "Johnny and his girlfriends go to fight the bugs, with sexy results!" fell rather flat. ^_^

But you do have a very good point. Nazi Doogie Howser and the "censored" scenes were shining gems in this pile of ostrich offal.

Now, if they just censored the whole movie... now we're talking!
