Incredibly I saw this movie on Turner Classic Movies last night.  All I can say is that it was pretty craptacular.  Now comes the hard decision of whether to delete it off the Tivo or not.

Spinning Wheel Kick

Well I just saw this and I immediately deleted it from my DVR. My mouth is still agape at the bizarre ending. It was a semi-entertaining diversion to spot soap opera mainstay Finola Hughes in some scenes though...

Beware of Golan-Globus... :lookingup:

Back in 1980, would this trailer had sent you scrambling for your nearest theater to see this?

I'm a bit late to the party, but does anyone else think this movie sounds a bit like a Jack Chick tract on acid? In fact, I'm pretty sure there's a Chick tract with a very similar plot (Christian rock group get seduced into the big time by a producer who's either the devil or working for him, then they learn their lesson).

I've been away too long. Thank you, Apple, for bringing me back. Thank you, Apple, for making me wish I were back in college so that I could write a whole thesis on you.

Everyone should be subjected to this movie, much like Schindler's list. Anyone who thinks they understand how the 80s killed the 70s really needs to take a close look.

This movie was made to make sure the hippies were dead. It may be a brilliant farce of itself, but I think it's more likely that it was funded so that it would have the opposite of its intended effect.

If this movie doesn't make you want to kill a christian, a hippie, a hipster, and anything that dare rear its head after, nothing will.
"Do you have something against droppings?" "Well, no, I..." "Sure, everyone says that till they step in it."

     I caught this on THIS Network about a year ago....it made me wish I was high as a dog, as at least some of the folks involved with making this were.

    Some movies are strange enough that it's nigh-impossible to gauge whether they're bad or not-THE APPLE definitely falls into that category.

    It reminded me of a 1967 English film, PRIVILEGE....

which was similar, but not as glitz-spacy.
If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.
