Trailer 284 of 695
Get out your 3-D glasses....then put them away, as director/writer/comic Albert Brooks personally hawks his debut feature in a special Hitchcockian trailer (with no footage from the actual movie) presented entirely in 3-D -- Not. This is Brooks in his post-Saturday Night Live period, a funny warm up for his masterpiece, Modern Romance. One of the great trailers of our time.
"If you like telepathic Pterodactyls this one's for you!" How can one resist a commentary like that? LOL.
Can't say I actually "like" this movie but I can tolerate it. It makes as much sense as many non-drug-related films that go a bit off the rails for purely "artistic" reasons, so simply pegging it as a "drug movie" only of interest in its time is inaccurate...
Inside mother earth; Caroline Monroe and Godzilla's country cousins. Who knew? Always thought LAND THAT TIME FORGOT managed to look way classier than it's budgetary constraints (no mean feat...
The one original touch: a caveman monster with veins that go ACROSS his nostrils (look fast and you can see him in the trailer). Umm, other than that...
I have a great fondness for this daft film. I remember running around my grandad's garden with a hankerchief I found tied around my hand because I saw Doug McClure do it in either this or another Conner film promting my grandad to ask of I'd hurt myself...
"Phoned it in so intensely, you can almost hear the dial tones" That line is better than anything in this film..
