Robot Monster

I'm not immune to the "so bad, it's good" allure of some movies, but there are movies out there that are so terrible that they should never be watched by anyone, ever, under any circumstances. One such movie is 1953's Robot Monster, you know, the one with the guy in the gorilla suit with a fishbowl on his head. Yeah, that one. Shown in 3-D, because adding a gimmick to a piece of shit movie is a timeless ploy, the film's sheer level of suckage more or less caused its director Phil Tucker to attempt suicide. Robot Monster attempts to tell the story of an evil alien called Ro-Man who tries to hunt down and kill the last few people on Earth using his death ray and blah, blah, blah. This movie sucks ass and for some reason it features a bunch of stock footage of lizards fighting.

"Piece of shit movie" needs an Avatar link.

Also, what was the name of that horrible movie we watched where the old guy was like, "Sally, it's a time-spacewarp!"

Stir of Echoes?

1) I actually considered adding a link to the R3 Avatar review, but I thought that might be a bit too smarmy.

2) Not sure what movie you're talking about. I've seen and owned more than my share of shitty movies over the years.

It was called The Day that Time Stopped or something like that.
