As usual I very rarely pop up on the message board, but I could not prewarn my fellow b movie fans. In the up coming months my husband will be putting up a review for a movie that could possible be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I beg you...Do Not Watch this movie. It looks promising from the big named stars in it, but that is only a ploy to get you to watch it. I repeat DO NOT WATCH "Heatbeeps"!!!!!! Just don't do it! I actually took physicly ill the next day.
Never heard of it. Sorry Miz Borntreger but that sounds like a challenge! I'll keep an eye out for it.
Katie,
Ahhh...Heartbeeps. That's actually a film that I remember quite fondly from my childhood. Actually couldn't remember the name of the film until a few months ago when someone on this board gave me the name. I've since watched the film again, and it is quite bad. Still holds quite a bit of nolstalgia for me though.
I've heard of it, but never seen it. Isn't it about robots in love or something stupid like that?
I've often wondered how someone can live with someone else who watches films that- to them- are the equivilant to self-torture. It must be "fun" :)
It was on HBO a lot in the early 80's. I don't recall it being all that bad, just overly dumb.

Hey now who wouldn't just fall in love with these two lovely Robots.

Heh, Katie had not even told me she posted about "Heartbeeps."
I have to say, bad comedies are torture to me. In addition, the writers tried to make all sorts of quirky connections between the robots' actions and real people. Everything from Aqua and Val being caught in an intimate moment by their child to the entirely invented "We have not exchanged information in 4.62 miles. Why are we no longer efficient?" scene.
Pure, hateful pain. This one is getting a skull.
Yt's not too terrible..
Heartbeeps is the greatest mov .... BARRRRFFFFF!
I'm sorry, it was too much BS for me to stand.
There are much much worse out there. Stupidity does not merit a skull. Inane dialogue does not merit a skull.
Disjointed storylines, stupid costumes, bad dialogue, horrible special effects and bizarre plot twists merit skulls. Ator the Fight Eagle deserves a skull. Heartbeeps does not.
You tell 'em Shadowphile!!
Skulls should be few and far between -- ROBOCHIC merits its coveted single skull, and it would cheapen it if won too easily --

Exactly.

You're just jealous
Sad, in a way, how it seems to make Andy Kaufman that much more of a tragic figure.
"Even now, that little freak is upstairs screwing around with G-O-D!"
I vaguely remember watching this movie when I was a kid.
Don't remember much about it.
I can understand that nobody wants a skull to be something just given out. Indeed, I often look for a single amusing thing that can merit a single slime. However, I really dislike this movie. It fails to entertain, leaving me just wishing it was over. The reviews are all written from the standpoint of what the movie did to me.
The target date for the review is around the middle of July, so there is time for me to change my mind. I just do not know why I would.
Does the movie appear to take itself seriously? If not, no skull.
Don't make us beg. The movie may be terrible but it is not BAD, in the way skulls indicate badness. You elevate it into company it is not worthy to share, by giving it a skull.
Andrew pays for the hosting
Andrew skulls who he wants :)
We al have different judgements of what we like and don't (hey, I actually kinda like "Omega Doom") so...I'm more looking forward to what he has to say about the movie then anything
Sad to say, I own Heartbeeps. I don't remember why I bought it, but it is a source of great embarassment.
As for skulls, I do think this movie might deserve one. Ator, as someone mentioned, is bad, but all its flaws add up to unintentional laughs. Heartbeeps sets out to make us laugh and just fails. And it's not even a cheap piece of crap -- somebody clearly put some work into it. That makes it all the worse.
Which prooves...ya can't MST a bad comedy!
Oh, sure, you can riff on bad moments of comedy relief from an other wise "Serious" film...Crater Lake Monster?....but if its intended as a whole comedy.....
Katie is right...if it don't get you by the first five minuits....RUN AWAY-RUN AWAY!
I'm Flangepart, and i paid ( $4;99 at hald priced books) to see THE NASTY RABBIT!
Still can't get the stains off my carpet...
Call "em as you see 'em, Andrew. And if somebody doesn't like it, they can explain why on the messageboard.

Where you getting that quote from, Andy C.???
peter johnson/denny crane
From the Jimmy Buffett song, "Pencil-Thin Mustache," which is playing in my daughter's room right now, strangely enough. The baby likes Buffett. I burned a copy of the album for her, so I could leave out "Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw."
