That one is worthwhile as long as you do not take it seriously as it was not meant to be.

I once had an original set of "Mars Attacks" playing cards as a kid (in case you didn't know it, our friends with the transparent skulls got their start on bubble gum cards) and I was a little disappointed in the film. Those cards scared me to death as a kid. Soldiers burned alive, giant bugs, womenfolk leered at and ravaged.... Never quite saw the whole thing as a comedy. Must've been all that cold war paranoia I suppose.

Me either, but that's only because I didn't think the movie was entertaining or amusing enough to laugh at.

Agreed, I thought it got a bum rap when it came out. Beautifully film - wonderfully acted - very Hitchcock-like. I never understood why it came and went and was considered a disappointment.

I did not like the film the first time I saw it, I was very disappointed. Over time, I have found it to be cheesily entertaining. It is kind of hard to see as a comedy, but it is definitely just as hard to take seriously so instead I watch it as cheese.
Oh yeah, I knew that they were on bubblegum cards, but had no idea that was their start. Interesting because they were not friendly to look at.

That was what first hooked me. A buddy of mine in high school would on occasion yodel like Slim (do not ask why) and put us in stitches.

Financially, it did very well. It has been making the rounds on AMC and we watched a bit of it last night. I think many found it confusing and too dark as well as crossed the line with the drowning of children. I enjoyed the movie and even though it was on occasion disturbing, I thought it was well done.

Strange how that can work. It disturbed me enough that I would most likely watch it again...[huh]

I saw that with a friend when it first hit the theaters. I figured it out in the first 20 minutes, and had to endure the next two hours until they finally got around to revealing the big twist. :eusa_doh:
Yeah, well, that yodeling almost made my head explode. lol
