It's such a smart film. I'm hard pressed to think of a better parody.
You know, I'm still debating on if its a parody or a revival birthed from true love?

Uh, the 50's air-head trophy wife is superb. I didn't catch it last time, but did you notice what a big age-gap they had? Oh honey, I'll just leave you to your science experiments in the attic. Want me to bring up some cookies?

That's almost the exact thing I said you shouldn't do.
That would be me.
Speaking of rockets.
Wow, slow down. I'm a scientist and that was still too fast.
Speaking of rockets...what was up with the ranger? In a completely random movie, he was still the most radnom person. Every scene he just looks off into the distance with a vacant, mildly knowing, gaze. "I hate to upset you guys about what's been going on in the woods tonight."
"Oh dear, I'm upset now"

Very true. The skeleton is so kookie. Did you see the end when the aliens are dancing and their is the uber-disjointed frame cut. Like the skeleton is looking straight foreward one minute and then the next screen its head has completely turned. I laughed my brains out.
It was actually even funnier the second time. I truly think this guy is not doing a parody but just a direct reference. Its like he liked it too much.
Notice the actors, its like a group of neighbors got together and said, wouldn't it be awesome to make a movie. Lets get your daughter to be the one person under 25 here (animalia). I've got a friend down at the studio, maybe I can finagle a little something and we'll shoot in the backyard?
Also, did the versions you guys see have that little animated bit in the front with the skeletons juddling their bones in the graveyard?
