Monster of the Day #3140

Updated on December 3, 2020 By Ken Begg 7 Comments

I’ve always been vaguely interested in mainstream movies from the ’80s and early ’90s that you forget/didn’t know had monsters in them for no real reason. Like, oh, The Coneheads, or Howard the Duck. I was watching YouTube yesterday and saw a clip from Weird Science, the John Hughes movie where geeks Anthony Michael Hall and Some Other Guy turn a barbie into Kelly LeBrock, who’s basically Jeannie from I Dream of Jeannie and uses her *cough* ‘science’ powers to help them get girlfriends or something. I think, I never saw it. However, there was a clip with a monster in it, so there you go.

    Poor Chet, he was not that bad a guy.

  • Never seen this film And from what little I’ve seen through clips, I have no desire to do so.

    Which really, really says something bad about my taste in films. This in no way looks like a bad film and I don’t wanna watch it. Meanwhile, I was warned repeatedly about films like Ghosthouse and Zombie Lake and dove into both the instant I could. With Zombie Lake I was giggling with anticipation.

    I saw it about twenty-five or so years ago. Ken is right on about the plot. It’s an okay film but I haven’t had any desire to seek it out since then for a reviewing.

    It’s the Cinematic Bell Curve, man. The stuff at the extreme ends are the films you want to watch. (Although mediocre stuff in your wheelhouse is always going to get a watch over great stuff in a genre you don’t care for.)
