"Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" is on the Sci-Fi Friday broadcast this week. Hubby wants to watch it. How drunk do I have to be to be amused and not in pain?
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

If there aren't any wise-cracking robots in silhouette snarking on the film, I'd say very.

The Year Without a Santa Claus remake that was on NBC Monday night deserves to be on that list.
And Silent Night, Deadly Night does not deserve to be on that list, because it is awesome.

'Babes in Toyland'
The oft-filmed Victor Herbert operetta was translated to Cincinnati in this 1986 TV movie musical that starred Drew Barrymore, Keanu Reeves and Pat Morita. It featured "jaw-droppingly awful musical numbers," according to eFilmCritic.com's Collin Souter. Barrymore, who was drinking and doing drugs by age 12, played a little girl who bumps her head and wakes up in Toyland on Christmas Eve. "Historically interesting," Souter wrote, "if only to gaze into Barrymore's drug-addled, bloodshot eyes or to watch Keanu drive around in a pink, flowery go-cart ... before singing about the joys of Ohio."
The mind boggles.

Nope, they run them straight. Last week was something called "Quatermass II: Invasion from Space", some '50s British thing where they used a new Shell oil plant as the set (according to the note at the end). I'm wondering what the first Quatermass (spelled correctly) was like that they thought it was worth making a sequel.
Maybe I'll just play Icewind Dale with the headphones on loud.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
watch Keanu drive around in a pink, flowery go-cart
I obviously need to rewatch this movie again. The first time I saw it, I must have been too young to fully appreciate His Keanuness.

That sounds fabulous! In fact, they should film it and show it every...oh, right.
