I had always wanted to see it, and I finally did.
The opening titles are by far the best thing about it.
It's gotta be the DUMBEST 1958 sci fi movie EVER. It got dumber and
dumber, to the point that the extras in the supposed United Nations
building crowd scene, at the momentous climax, JUST STOOD THERE while
this giant clunky monster robot with Artemis Gordon's brain killed off
individuals among them one by one with his film-scratch-looking
eye-ray. I never saw a movie with so many, "Well why don't you fucking
TELL them about the MONSTER" scenes or so many "But why are they just
STANDING there?" scenes. Just awful script, awful scarecrow acting,
irrritating all-shitty-piano-solo score. Wonderful premise --
genius-brain in a robot body. The moral of the story was that without a
body, and the SOUL that connects it to the body, the brain will turn
into a ruthless rampaging monster. Except that they fucked even THAT
stupid idea up, by having the brained-robot SUDDENLY HAVE SECOND
THOUGHTS about killing everyone, because his little son Billy asked him
to, and then in a most soulful gesture directs Billy to turn the crank
that will shut him down and KILL HIM. So even though the moral was
supposed to be that you will be a monster if you have no soul-body, THE
GOD DAMN MONSTER BEHAVED LIKE HE HAD AT LEAST *HALF* A SOUL
NONETHELESS!!
What were they thinking. What was *I* thinking.
The business with the crank that could shut down the robot, though --
it was a metal bar a few inches under his right armit. For some reason
he wasn't supposed to be able to reach it himself at that location.
(???) Anyway when the robot monster with Dad's brain started
befriending little Billy, little Billy got to monkeying with that
switch, while sitting on the monster's lap.
"NO, DON'T EVER TOUCH ME THERE, BILLY!" intones the robo-dad in his
crappy 1958 vocoder voice. "If you touch me "THERE," why, I'll fall
down... and I might never ever get back up!"
And then he said it AGAIN!! When he wanted Billy to kill him so he
wouldn't kill any more! "Billy -- that place I told you not to touch --
YOU MUST TOUCH ME THERE... NOW, BILLY!"
I might not have the dialog EXACTLY right but it was something like
that.
Who needs MST3000. The pristine untouched badfilm is enough to have a
smart alecky SubGenius deconstructing the piece of crap sci fi movie at
a million miles a second... no help needed from professional comedian
voice-overs, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

What's even more fun is to just watch it without having to boost your
own NEVER MADE ONE WHOLE REAL MOVIE ego by ridiculing someone's pathetic
yet best effort for failing to come up to your personal standards. No I
guess that wouldn't be fun FOR YOU would it. For god's sake, here's a
guy who watches a 56 year old brain-in-a-robot children's movie and
gripes because it wasn't "good enough." Stang, you are fired. Clear
out your desk and be gone in one hour or we'll call security.
I recommend one of the less famous Satyajit Ray movies like The Stranger
or (i think it's called) The Big City, or maybe Jean Negulesco's
"Humoresque." Don't be put off by the classical music angle.
The other night Mrs. Nenslo and I watched Ash Wednesday, starring
Elizabeth Taylor. A '70s FACELIFT movie. A 1970s Swiss facelift clinic
full of people wandering around in bathrobes with their heads wrapped in
gauze is more like a science fiction movie than many SF movies I have
seen. Pretty high grossout factor for the first few minutes showing
actual facelift surgery. I give it 3 stars for pure fucked up ness and
another half for Liz's ability to display subtleties of emotion few
other actresses have ever even felt or heard of. None of you reading
this would like it.

You tell'em, nenslo! To THINK that anybody who has never made a movie
would think they have the right to have an opinion about whether they
like a movie or not! It makes me BOIL

What's even better is to just read a funny critique without having to
boost your own NEVER PUBLISHED ONE WHOLE BULLSHIT BOOK ego by
criticising some other scribe's pathetic yet best effort for failing to
come up to your personal standards of criticim. Yes I guess that would
be ++unfun 4 U wouldn't it. For god's sake, here's a 56-year-old guy
who reads a facetious review by a 56 year old brain-in-a-robot Usenet
writer, of a shitty movie, and gripes because the review wasn't "good
enough." Nenslo, you are hired. Rent your uniform and be here in one
hour or we'll call Homeland Security.
I recommend one of the less famous China Meiville books like The Scar
or (i think it's called)Perdido Street Station, or maybe Stephen
Baxters "Evolution." Don't be put off by the printed word angle.
The other night Mrs. StangDoe and I watched Ass Wednesday, starring
Elizabeth Teighlor. A '90s PLUMPER movie. A 1990s San Francisco
weight clinic full of fat people wandering around naked with their
genitals wrapped in each other is more like a shitty science fiction
movie than many shitty San Francisco SF movies I have seen. Pretty
high grossout factor for the first few minutes showing actual stomach
stapling sex. I give it 3 stars for pure befuckedness and another half
for Liz's ability to perform subtleties of blowjobs few other actresses
have ever even felt up or heard of. None of you reading this would
like it except Pisces.
NOTE: Very clear shots of Priestess Pisces' surgery-fresh belly, with

Its not as lame as COMPLAINING and COMPLAINING about The Colossus of New
York and pretending that's a "movie review." I could tell just from
looking at the stills when I was sixteen that it was a children's movie
and probably wouldn't be very good. Assessing a movie on whatever few
merits it may have is not the same as just bitching about how it wasn't
good enough for you, ya pretentious cineaste.
Mrs. Nenslo has had "How I Won the War" on her to watch list for a long
time so we tried to watch it last night and MAN! I bet it is just
funnier than shit to anybody who can understand the three times faster
than normal pre-american dialect those guys speak and know all the
striped necktie and cricket bat injokes but it sure baffled us. After
about half an hour we agreed that we had not really understood a damn
thing and so quit. But you don't see me saying it's NOT GOOD. It
probably is the perfect movie for somebody out there, but we just aren't
them. I simply object to ANYONE's categorical condemnation of some
movie just because it wasn't the movie for them, and slamming a
CHILDREN'S movie for not being sophisticated seems to me to be A BIT
STUPID. YOU JERK. So SHUT UP and stop making such a public spectacle
of how RETARDED you are if you don't like people calling you on it you
big baby. I thought it was interesting the way "How I Won the War" is
always packaged as a John Lennon movie, and all you ever see of it is
pictures of John Lennon, who for what we saw of it is one of a dozen
secondary characters who pops in and spews a gag line occasionally. I
was really wishing I could simply understand some of the things they
said, INSTEAD OF ISSUING A BLANKET CONDEMNATION OF THE WHOLE THING LIKE
SOME POMPOUS DUMBASS. MEANING YOU.

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of dumbasses. You jerks could
save yourselves a lot of trouble if you summoned the will and
self-discipline to bypass your reactionary hissyfits and skip right to
your inescapable goal of thanking me for correcting you. But then,
beating on you morons is what has given me this manly intellectual

Stop right there. I do that all the time.
For some adverts I develop a complete back-history. One advert, for
dog food, became the tale of a woman in the Witness Protection
Programme foolishly writing to her dad.
Another, for a loan service, became a tail of how someone in an
emotional partnership always becomes some form of vampire, sucking at
the essense of their more mortal counterpart.
