It's so fantastically campy.
Plus the soundtrack!

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I was a kid, babysitting other kids, a year or so after Flash Gordon came out. I was at the house of a family I regularly watched and went to pop a movie in the VCR for us to watch. Actually, they may have had a Beta, but whatever. There was a tape in the machine and the edge read Flash Gordon, so I thought. Hey, silly fun movie, why not. Ummmm, that is when I learned about pornos that mimic the names of "regular" movies. Luckily I caught it before things went too far, but dang. Bad babysitter. I have no idea if the kids told their parents or if the parents wondered why the tape was in their room when they came home. I just didn't know where else to put it, ya know?

Someone on tumblr had a similar experience with the sequel to The First Wive's Club [maybe nsfw?]. [link]
Spoiler: there was no sequel to The First Wive's Club.
I loved the 80s Flash Gordon. It has the most earwormy theme song, though. Which I'm now experiencing. Darn it.

On the same channel, I ended up watching the tail end of Buckaroo Bonzai ... and I'm earwormed with its closing theme. Which is pretty perky.

Thanks a lot, Toddson.
But wait, I own it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Why, Connie? And great emoji usage, Tom!
