Yes, we’re functionally twelve. I fully expect that we’ll sit down to Journey to the Seventh Planet and largely forsake the classic science fiction plot for ass jokes. We can’t be held responsible, though. Just look at the teaser text on this trailer.
This one is available on YouTube.
“This sounds awful!” I hear you cry. Yes. Yes, it does. “This must be mocked mercilessly”, you say. Well, then you’re in the right company. The instructions for playing along:
- Start following @MockTM on Twitter.
- Start watching the movie on the appropriate Wednesday at 9 p.m. Eastern time.
- Once you’ve got the movie going, tweet your snarky comments to @MockTM. Directing our tweets to @MockTM will keep our followers from being overwhelmed with our snark!
- Set up a search for @MockTM on Twitter for the duration so you can follow along with everyone else sharing your pain.
If you have suggestions for other movies that can and should be mocked, send them to @MockTM. Preference will be given to movies that are free or stream on the major media delivery services. Watch the feed, and we’ll set up the calendar for more terrible, mockable movies.
If you’ve missed a mocking, you can catch transcripts and even subtitle files for later watching on the Mock the Movie archive.
“Heh heh, Uranus.” *presses play on the trailer*
“HOW DEEP WITHIN EACH OF US?”
*coffee everywhere*
I hate to admit this, but I think I saw this one in the theaters when I was a kid, at a Saturday matinee. The guy with the frozen arm was particularly memorable.
Hey, I was under 12 when I saw it, therefore any juvenile jokes I make are entirely excusable!
They did tell us that “Your eyes will glaze over”.
I feel so sorry for the poor planet, and I don’t know what its parents were thinking when they named it that: Urine-us or Your-anus??
How awful?
They really should have listened to Old Man Herschel and called it ‘Georgium Sidus’ after the last king of America.
Richardelguru,
If we find a planetoid beyond Pluto, we should call it “The Last King of Scotland”
Better watch it with the Uranus jokes, or they’ll re-define ‘planet’ to exclude it.
You know, like they did with Pluto.
😉
Love it! The trailer says “Probe into the unknown”. Yes I suppose you would do that while exploring Uranus.
