My Rating: 10/10

Yeah, yeah… i know… this was such a crazy, lame movie. But if you actually lived through this era, you can’t help but love it Come on, if you lived through the age of Club Kids, and happened to be a computer geek, why NOT put the two together??

This movie gets a 10 just for the sake of it being such a fun, kick butt movie. The plot is laughable, the costumes are hideous, the camera work is nauseating (come on.. spinning phone booths?? who thought THAT up) … but it all WORKED! They took themselves SO seriously when making this movie that it has a life of its own. As I said before, you really had to have lived through this period of history in order to appreciate this twisted, under culture view of it all. If so, you can really appreciate how this movie is (somehow) far more than the sum of its parts.

And what about Crash’s completely pointless visor!! hahahahahaha I wanted one SO bad then… and I still do now!! And Crash aint that bad either Oh, and how about the sweet Miss Jolie in all her vintage glory? Man… how can you NOT LOVE this movie?!
