Title: Heartbeeps Post by: Andrew on July 30, 2006, 08:22:08 PM The last few days were a blur. We went househunting (rental, that is) around Baltimore and put something like 1000 miles on the car. Exhausting. However, we should have a signed lease tomorrow so it was fruitful.
In any case, I wish this movie had been a blur: Heartbeeps Review (http://www.badmovies.org/movies/heartbeeps/) Title: Re: Heartbeeps Post by: daveblackeye15 on July 30, 2006, 08:29:16 PM I wish the clip you put up went like a blur! And I'll bet that was the best part!
Title: Re: Heartbeeps Post by: Ash on July 30, 2006, 09:40:41 PM Great review!
I vaguely remember seeing this when I was a kid way back when. (one thing I noticed...it says the year "1991" up at the top of your review but this film was made in 1981) Title: Re: Heartbeeps Post by: Gerry on July 31, 2006, 03:18:46 PM I hate to say it, but this movie makes COLOSSUS AND THE AMAZON QUEEN (http://www.badmovies.org/bbs/read.php?2,107920) look that much better.
Title: Re: Heartbeeps Post by: Scott on July 31, 2006, 08:32:25 PM How much better Gerry?

Also, Andrew, what are you doing in Baltimore? peter johnson/denny crane Title: Re: Heartbeeps Post by: Gerry on August 01, 2006, 10:13:25 AM rich andrini Wrote:

That's probably pretty close, though I might bump it up to a -2 just for the gender reversal stuff in COLOSSUS (which I found quite amusing). Title: Re: Heartbeeps Post by: raj on August 01, 2006, 01:38:51 PM I can't remember if I've seen this, or parts of it before. Based on Andrews review, I'll chalk it up to repression.
Title: Re: Heartbeeps Post by: Ed, Ego and Superego on August 01, 2006, 03:14:17 PM I saw it on HBO rotation back in the 80's. My pre-adolescent memories are less bad than this. But now I have Don Johnson singing "Heeeartbeeps, I'm looking for some Heartbeeps."
-Ed Title: Re: Heartbeeps Post by: Andrew on August 01, 2006, 07:04:12 PM Bad comedies are bad news and that is the truth. Also tried to watch "Hysterical" the other night and that did not go over well with the wife. She finds bad humor about as funny as I do.
You really have to wonder why somebody did not suddenly realize that this was turning out to be a terrible movie when they were making it. I mean, even in small chunks (like they would experience during the filming) it had to be obvious. Title: Re: Heartbeeps Post by: BoyScoutKevin on August 03, 2006, 11:27:37 AM Yes, Peter, as I pointed out in the "User Comments" section of the review, that is Paul. Bartel in one of the stills. He'd do much better with his next film, "Eating Raoul."

Title: Re: Heartbeeps Post by: Ash on August 27, 2006, 01:28:46 AM I hate to be a nitpicker but I noticed another mistake Andrew.
On this page (http://www.badmovies.org/movies/index.html#anchorh) the film is given one slime drop but you actually gave it a skull. Just thought I'd point that out. Title: Re: Heartbeeps Post by: Alan Smithee on August 27, 2006, 08:54:34 PM This movie is nowhere as bad as its made out to be.
