I was watching the pre-show press conference and they were asked a question that might be fun to visit with us: what movie would you like to find yourself in? Frank immediately piped up: “Wild World of Batwoman,” to which Joel quipped “That came a little too quick, Frank.” :) Personally “Girl in Gold Boots”, for obvious reasons (Mike interestingly said the same). I’d like to sit in the back and see how long the dancers could Jerk and Pony.
I’d have to go with “Teenagers from Outer Space,” because I’m just an old chubby guy and I could go for a nap on the couch about now.
What’s your pick?
) to help our users cope with "trolls" and other commenters whom they find annoying. Go to our
The Violent Years so I could hang around where that one guy was “attacked”.
Catalina Caper!
Little Richard, the Cascades, beaches, bikinis, three girls for each guy, treasure hunts, dances!
Almost forgot, Creepy Girl.
Manos. Just so I could yell at the Stupid Family in their car, “NO! DON’T GO THAT WAY!!!”
The Crawling Hand, Gunslinger, The Unearthly, or (especially) The Undead.
Because: Allison Hayes :heart:
I think maybe mine was a little too quick, as well. ;)
‘Horrors Of Spider Island’, minus the spiders.
Hot dancing showgirls and booze? Sign me up! :-D
Angels Revenge, I guess. These women have cartoon sounds built into their punches, they have a cool weaponized van, and they all have coordinated jumpsuits and sometimes wear silk while kicking bad guy butt. Plus, their hair is perfect. And I’m pretty sure Michelle Wilson could get us into the Las Vegas Sahara when we needed a break.
If I couldn’t get in that movie, I’d try for King Dinosaur. Yes, there are rock-stupid astronauts, but it looks like a very nice time of year to be visiting the planet.
The Projected Man so I could convince Lembach to stay a little longer.
Manos The Hands Of Fate.
So I can beat up Harold P Warren.
Hercules and the Captive Women, so that I can worship Uranus. Also on Atlantis, I won’t be bombarded by all the annoying political blathering going on today.
The good future in “Time Chasers”.
I’ll go with Jack Frost. Sure the winters are brutal. But all the faerie tale shenanigans and the opportunity to join the randomly forming Freelance Shame Squads to mock wicked stepmothers more than balances it out.
Riding With Death –
I had a lot of fun in the Seventies. If I was planted in the middle of that TV show, I mean movie, I would drive away from anything to do with eighteen wheelers, Good Buddy, and head straight for the beach in my 1970 green Pinto! It was a real chick magnet. Far Out, Man!
I Accuse My Parents for the swinging nightlife and church attendance.
‘Agent from HARM,’ just for the chance to kick the super secret old dick weed in the nards and run off to romantic Vladivostok with baby woman.
Dare I say this might be a tougher choice for us women? I’ll pick Danger!! Death Ray. Bart Fargo, while often clueless, was very good-looking in a Tarzan-ish way (and yes, I know Gordon Scott did play Tarzan in a number of movies), and I would absolutely want to wear some of those groovy ’60s clothes.
Besides, if I got bored, I could always play with the special effects props in the bathtub.
Hmmm…
For the movies, I’ll go with “Marooned” (a.k.a. “Space Travelers”). I wouldn’t want to be in the capsule, but I’d love to be at Houston or KSC back when NASA was still doing manned missions, and seemed ready to move on to Mars after the Moon.
For the shorts, I’ll go with “Century 21 Calling”. The Seattle World’s Fair looks great. For a second choice, I’ll go with “A Day at the Fair”. It reminds me so much of the Wayne County Fair, which I haven’t missed since I was three.
‘Outlaw,’ partly for the pleasuring slave girl obviously, but mainly so I could meet Watney Smith and kill him, kill him, kill him, kill him….
Boggy Creek II- cause I love wrestling and those river bottoms.
It Conquered the World so I could stop Beverly Garland from getting herself killed by the Venusian cucumber. “Lee Van Cleef isn’t worth it, Bev!”
REVENGE OF THE CREATURE — I’d save Chris the dog and study Ichthyology with my favorite female scientist (because poor Joe was taken out by the Gill Man, and Professor Clete had to take that call from his wife).
Lovely Allison Hayes died at the youthful age of 46 from leukemia induced by lead poisoning. What a shame. The lead came from an imported calcium supplement she took for an extended period. Maybe living now in the 21st century isn’t all bad?
All I can think of is Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, because I could go on mini dopple vacations, but certainly not as an anteater. Also, Raul Julia is extremely dreamy.
The Starfighters: I like things smooth and calm, and nothing ever happens here to interrupt the tranquility and the drinking. Plus, my Poopie Suit is ideal for my couch potato tendencies.
Werewolf,so I could be Natalie’s translator.
The Beatniks–so I could stop Moonie from killing that fat barkeep..
Space Mutiny..just so I can ride around in a golfcart and scream like a girl and say to Big McLargeHuge,”hey,I can do it,too,ya know!”
Any movie with Beverly Garland. Yes, beautiful and sexy, but as Paul Chaplin notes in The Amazing Colossal Episode Guide, “All of her women combine intelligence aggressiveness with a strong (and I mean strong) femininity”. And a sense of humor. Fantastic!

Daddy-O. There’s impromptu racing for pizzas, spontaneous Dick Contino songs, John Williams music in the background, ineffectual bad guys with easily thwarted capers, and free apples (but only if you don’t slap them away).
Or Jack Frost for all the wacky magical goofiness.
Indeed, Jay. She was a gem, and her’s is a tragic story.
Notwithstanding her appearance in MST3K fodder — and, or course, her starring role in “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman”, perhaps the gold standard of B-films — I think she was a fine actress. We lost her far too young. :weep:
Ah, life on a Walnut farm – so dreamy, getting up in the morning to milk the walnuts, lazing in the grass as I watch them grazing… on the weekends I’d visit where the fish lives, maybe make some folk art, like dried apple-heads. I’d go with “The Touch of Satan”
Couldn’t let ya in if I wanted to, fella. Movie rules.
Time Chasers. Take over Gen-Corp from Bob Evel while one of him is being bested by Nick, then
get those 6 floppy disks with the key to time travel, get advice on proper time travel from
Doctor Who (obviously that future was a fixed point in time and couldn’t be messed with). Oh,
and hire out some Weeping Angels to keep an eye on (get it) any other Bob Evel meddling.
Btw, why are Weeping Angels considered such a danger? Just blow them up or melt them down while quantum locked.
“Want a good movie?”
“I want an answer!”
SHIVER as he explores the Haunted Graveyard!
NOD APPRECIATIVELY as he expounds causality!!
THRILL at the swashbuckling climax!!!
Yes, littleaimishboy IS Hamlet in … HAMLET!
I have to namecheck my handle and say “Prince Of Space.” Then I could watch Prince frolic and cavort while Krankor fires his guns that won’t work– the most worry-free threat to take over the world ever. Plus, even though I’m a little too old to do this myself I could watch my kids get access to secured military installations.
PENALTY – You did not state that in the proper “Alas, Por …” form.
I’ll side with TV’s Frank and the Wild World of Batwoman. It’s all the dopey fun of living in a silver-age comic book and the great terror of my childhood, the atomic bomb, turns out to just slightly dishevel handfuls of people at a time. Racist ghosts are a problem, yes, but if you aren’t summoning the spirit world for vague purposes you can ignore them and go on about your business, which is better than how real life works.
Also, THE SCREAMING SKULL. I’d settle down to James’s “The Beast in the Jungle” with Jenny (because I’m a reader), and I’d be there when the Bra Fairy appeared. And since many of us are making changes along the way, I’d get Mickey a box.
The Sinister Urge, so’s I could join in the suppression of smut. Clearly, photos of women in modest bathing costumes MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE THEY TRIGGER MORE HOMICIDES!!!
I’d like to join the rock band in Pod People. I think I’d fit right in – I don’t have any musical talent either.
I remember going to the last western-hemisphere World’s Fair, in Vancouver ’86, just before Disney’s Epcot made them obsolete. Oh, it was beautiful. :)
Seattle and NYC must’ve been great for their day.
You could say the same about the Canadian Exposition that Johnny went to at the Fair, and jiminy, that had helio-copters as well.
For second choice, of all the teen comedies where teens have lots of money and free time for dancing, even in summer where they don’t go to school or appear to have jobs, the non-stop bacchanals of Village of the Giants don’t look too bad.
The town looks a bit depressed though, with most of the businesses closed up, looks sort of like an empty backlot. Maybe I would go for the Catalina Caper cruise, instead.
My dad worked at JSC during Apollo, and besides for “Marooned” there was always some cinematic or made-for-TV movie being filmed on location at NASA and also in our neighborhood. I think I might have actually been a random face in one of the ABC Tuesday Movies of the Week back in the early 70s, as they did some stock footage-type shots at our elementary school.
For me, I’d like to be in Jack Frost, if for no other reason than the areas they filmed in were beautiful! I could be one of Hunchback Fairy’s trees, as I think I could nail the wooden acting thing!
Moon Zero Two – who wouldn’t want to be a guest on the moon in the fabulous swingin’ 20s? Add in the plastic clothing and the fact that unless you were directly involved with the bad guys you weren’t going to get killed and I’m all in!
I’d also like to visit the world of OatMB, as long as I didn’t have to dopple as a filthy, disgusting anteater. Who says you can’t always get what you want?
Hmmm… I second any movie with Beverly Garland, but I’d probably have to go with Santa Claus, because who doesn’t want to live in a world where Santa is real, and the prince of evil is a mincing pushover?
Failing that, I’d go with Attack of The The Eye Creatures because the aliens can be defeated by a flashlight, and we can just steal their spaceships. (Though on the downside, those two guys in the radar room could be perving on you at any given time.)
Wow! Huge slam on anteaters out of nowhere.
I want to be the drummer for the band in The Horror of Party Beach.
Horror of Party Beach
Fun times, good music, cool cars, and lots of white dancing (the only kind I’m any good at).
The Undead, so I could STAY!!!!!!
‘Teenage Strangler’ i’d steal a bike and blame Mikey.
