howard the duck.

Nostalgia has convinced me that i want to buy this on DVD. Can anyone remember if it was actually any good, or am i likely to fall into the same trap as i did in buying Tron? - It turns out on repeated viewing, that it is in fact, shit.



  • Tron shit?

    You don't deserve films.

    • I'd completely forgotten about this

      and only have vague memories of ropey special effects.

    • I don't ever want to see it...

    • It will be shit.

      Sorry. It's cheap in the Virgin sale right now, though. Sorry, Zavvi sale.

      • Tron IS shit

        • it has been at least

          15 years since i saw it...you're probably right. Ok, Tron wasn't shit, just not that great.

          • Tron IS shit

            • its no...

              spaceballs, I grant you

              • Tron shits all over the Matrix.

                AND all over your Mum. True fact.

                • forget all that crap

                  GET INNER SPACE!

                  • I'm quitting

                    until you retract that Tron comment

                    • It's Marin Shorterrific

                    • you have retracted it already

                      good. close call.

                      • i never really

                        got the appeal of the matrix anyway....i mean, it's ok, but there aren't enough Ducks in it

                        • Tron IS shit

                          • If you get the special edition DVD

                            of the Matrix there's a whole 20 minute duck scene that didn't make it to the final cut.

                            • Spaceballs ROOOOLZZZ!

                              • You are shit

                                Tron is ace. It reminds me of those Tomy hold-up-to-your-eyes based video game things that were around late 80s/early 90s. There was one with weird upside down square U shaped red things you had to shoot. They looked a bit like the support struts for my Tomy train set, and I'd re-enact that video game with the Tomy train bridge supports IRL. Incredible scenes.

                                • haha

                                  got it!

                                • ^

                                  good.

                                • Pizza the Hutt?

                                  • It's also

                                    a beautifully realised meditation on hierarchies, the dehumanising effects of capitalist society and the folly of unquestioning religious belief. And it still looks amazing.

                                  • Joke about

                                    Red Bills and Blue Bills

                                    • i had forgotten those

                                      but yes, exactly the same. can we get you one for onstage?!

                                        • that is a very good joke

                                          • does tomy even still exist?

                                            what about smoby? they made brilliant kiddy-sized kitchens.

                                            • Innerspace is amazing.

                                              I own it for sure.

                                              and it'll be a load of shit now. Don't buy it.

                                                  • I have no idea what any of those are

                                                      Smoby too, although they're about to de-merge with model car manufacturer Majorette and ditch a bunch of jobs.
