Title: Galaxina Post by: Andrew on March 03, 2007, 08:22:59 PM The motley crew of the intergalactic patrol ship Infinity is sent to the far side of the universe to recover the BLUE STAR. "Ahhhhaaaahhhh!" All that I could think about was Doritos.

Title: Re: Galaxina Post by: Yaddo 42 on March 04, 2007, 05:58:01 AM Hilarious review! Love the shoutout to Avery Schreiber and his his Doritos pitchman days. To think he was once part of a fairly popular comedy duo that used to turn up on Ed Sullivan's show.
Never seen this one, not sure I ever even saw a copy in a video store. But the trailer played on local TV when I was young and just lodged in my mind. The mix of scifi visuals and a voiceover playing up that the "late Dorothy Stratton" starred in the film was so bizarre to my little kid mind. Title: Re: Galaxina Post by: dean on March 04, 2007, 06:33:49 AM There's a Tshirt 'bar' in the city where you can make and design your own tshirts based around a heap of different pictures they have. You choose the clothing and what goes on it, etc etc. One section in the folders they have has some movie posters, such as Mad Max, and Galaxina is one of them. I was very close to making one, but decided against it. Thanks to that review I'm reconsidering that decision. Great stuff, funny, top shelf review as always. Title: Re: Galaxina Post by: Jack7086 on March 04, 2007, 06:45:14 PM I've been waiting for you to review this one! Bravo!
Title: Re: Galaxina Post by: Scott on March 04, 2007, 09:32:20 PM I've been wanting to see this for years now. Haven't found a handy copy to view.
Saw STAR 80 years ago. Title: Re: Galaxina Post by: Dr. Whom on March 05, 2007, 04:48:43 AM Andrew, you fail to make clear how painfully boring the whole thing is. It sets out to parody Star Wars and Alien, yet fails abysmally. All pathetic attempts at humor (such as the 'space battle') fall flat. The plot goes nowhere, and the film moves slower than the Tabanga. All you get is Dorothy Stratten in a jump suit. I'll have the Ice Pirates instead any time.
Title: Re: Galaxina Post by: Him on March 05, 2007, 09:54:27 AM I was wondering when you would get around to reviewing this movie. One of the classic Starwars knock offs from the 80s.
Title: Re: Galaxina Post by: adamrice on March 08, 2007, 07:36:34 PM No discussion of Galaxina is complete without some mention of the sad story of the starlet in the starring role, Dorothy Stratten, which was covered in the biopic Star 80 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086355/)
Title: Re: Galaxina Post by: Him on March 09, 2007, 06:18:12 PM The Blue Star
UUUUUUUUH AAAAAAAAAAAH! Title: Re: Galaxina Post by: inframan on April 11, 2007, 02:23:11 PM I remember those Doritos commercials
Title: Re: Galaxina Post by: Flangepart on April 11, 2007, 02:39:18 PM Burns and Schreiber, that was the duo!
"Taxi....cab!...taxi!..."!" "Yeah, its a taxi cab." Title: Re: Galaxina Post by: onionhead on May 06, 2007, 11:52:29 AM No discussion of Galaxina is complete without some mention of the sad story of the starlet in the starring role, Dorothy Stratten, which was covered in the biopic Star 80 ([url]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086355/[/url]) Which is a horror story in itself--Eric Roberts at his absolute best.

Not just an old school rpg'er, but you play 40K too!!! Title: Re: Galaxina Post by: Andrew on March 06, 2008, 09:03:50 AM "Earth, Mars, Macragge..." Not just an old school rpg'er, but you play 40K too!!! A Tyranid player, at that. I am "Badmovies.org" on Librarium and 40KOnline. I haven't posted anything to either in a while, but have a number of batreps and conversions posted to both: A Batrep (http://www.librarium-online.com/forums/40k-battle-reports/92649-tyranids-vs-necrons-1500-points-gamma-take-hold.html) A Carnifex conversion (http://www.librarium-online.com/forums/modelling/79037-shoggoth-regenerating-gunfex.html) Title: Re: Galaxina Post by: WOOF! on June 24, 2008, 02:50:45 AM Didn't anyone recognized the industrial hallway that William sachs also used in "The Incredible Melting Man"? You know the crazy nurse run scene.
Title: Re: Galaxina Post by: Xaneth on October 23, 2011, 09:00:09 PM The Dark Star, ahaaaa!!! Who keeps saying that? Awesome flick.
Title: Re: Galaxina Post by: Blueslover on August 28, 2012, 09:37:34 PM Finally. Amazon is offering "Galaina" (coupled with "The Crater Lake Monster") for only $5.99 on blu-ray! Good quality transfer considering it's age. That goes for both films. No subtitles or extras. I mean, watta ya' want for $5.99? Some moments of slight funniness but the...pace....is....s..l..o..w!!! Still for the price it's worth adding to your cheesy film collection. Enjoy, ya'll.
