I was 13 years old in 1977. The release of Star Wars that year had whet my appetite for sci-fi space movies. So when Disney released The Black Hole in 1979, I had to go see it. I can't remember if I liked it or not, to be truthful.
I recently purchased the movie on DVD, thinking it would fondly remind me of my childhood.
Instead, it put me to sleep. Seriously. Waaaay asleep.
Mary looked at me afterward and said, "That was the worst movie I have ever seen." I've seen lots of bad movies. This was definitely in the league with the others.
Now I remember. This is a kid's movie. A very bad kid's movie.
It's so bad that I MUST get rid of the DVD. I can no longer keep it in my house. It must go.
Want it? Post a reply and tell me why I should give it you. Be creative. Eventually, I'll pick someone to give it you. Really. I mean it.
It's Del.icio.us!
Furl It!

I live in a different region for DVD's so it wouldn't get much play....

This movie totally missed the target. In fact, it hit the little boy playing behind the target.

Joel, you should loan me this DVD. I don't necessarily want it, but it would be cool to see it.

I need a good thick coaster for my coffee. I need my coffee becasue I stayed up late reading AdSense Secrets and planning how to apply what I am learning.
I also need a poop scraper because the spring-loaded poop-picker-upper-claw-like device I usually scoop with leaves some of "that" in the lawn. One sturdy Black Hole DVD and a pair of leather gloves would be a fitting and creative way to ensure all the poop is properly scraped out of the grass, I think.
But first I would microwave it. In fact - if you haven't ever done that, you're missing out and you should do it yourself and videotape it. It could be a videoblog entry. Then you can give it to me for a coaster. Or for dog poop scraping. But not both.
I can't believe I actually wrote that.
