This is perhaps the most unintentionally surreal dialogue I've ever heard. And I've seen Glen or Glenda. #postapocalyptic

I came here because I heard if you posted in this tread you got a gold star. Is that true? I'm all about gold stars. One thing I noticed about that first clip were the shows they cut to, one was Second City TV. I'm going to go out on a limb and , with out googling first bet that this was filmed in CANADA! #postapocalyptic

Nipple-couiniseur Maury Chaykin was also in War Games as one of the head nerds:
"Mr. Potato Head! Mr. Potato Head!"

SciFi--oops, sorry--Syfy should totally remake that. It's their kind of quality production. Hell, they could even use the crappy-ass sets and space suits from Alien Apocalypse. In fact, I think they should dedicate themselves to faithful remakes of quality 80s sci-fi films like this one, and "galaxy of Terror," and whatnot. They've probably gone as far as they can go with the giant snake oeuvre, anyhow. #postapocalyptic

@Grey_Area: Everything is better with "pocalypse" or "ocalypse" tacked on on the end.

Zombpocalypse
Hebrewpocalypse
Bunnyocalypse
Crabocalypse

"Come to Red Lobster for the Crabocalypse! We may be famous for lobster and shrimp, but our crab is so good IT WILL END THE WORLD!!!!! So come on down and bring the whole family! Because you may never see each other again."

Really "pocalypse and "ocalypse" make almost any word better. Try it and see. #postapocalyptic

...And after many days spent toiling on the road, schlepping some satellite around for some post-apocalyptic overlord, everyone was promptly slaughtered and eaten.

The End. #postapocalyptic

I think I want a t-shirt that says STARS AND SHAME FOR ALL!
I would send one to that Jon & Kate jackass, except I don't want to waste a perfectly good shirt on that creep. Oops--are we allowed to mention Jon & Kate over here, or is that just on Jezebel? I should just go over there for a minute, then. I'll come back when I have something hateful to say about Roland Emmerich. Thanks for the re-starification! #postapocalyptic

Holy shit. Out of nowhere comes Defcon-4.

I actually saw that movie in an actual movie theater...On the USAF base at RAF Alconbury in early 1986 (In those days, it typically took several months before first-run movies from the States reached us service brats.)

Even then, at the tender age of 11, I had the sense that Defcon-4 was an hour and a half I'd never get back. And it must be noted that the audience mostly laughed their asses off all the way through it, which you would think is a fail for a post-apocalyptic flick.

This movie is awful, but it gets credit for an AWESOME VHS cover that always grabbed my pre-teenage eye when in the video store.

Alas, the movie wasn't as cool as the box.

(Also-- Defcon *4*? Huh? Some writer clearly didn't understand how the Defcon system worked. . . ) #postapocalyptic

@Daveinva: That VHS box art was a shameless rip-off of a book cover from a completely unrelated story--I think it might have been a Stanislaw Lem book. And yes, the movie was a lot less cool than the box. #postapocalyptic

Nipple Man is the great Maury Chaykin, from EUREKA, NERO WOLFE, and DANCES WITH WOLVES.

I've been thinking about this one recently as I've been revisiting a ton of 80's horror. It's been ages since I've seen it, but I remember digging it as a teen. thanks Charlie Jane, you've sent me on yet another DVD hunt. #postapocalyptic

@tamoko: You're talking about the old Demi Moore movie directed by Charlie Band, right? I've owned it for about 6 or 7 years, but I've never gotten around to watching it. It was sent to me along with a stack of other Full Moon dvds by one of the FM staffers after one of my reviews sent Band into a massive f*cking rage. Apparently, he doesn't like it when reviewers point out that damn castle of his.... #postapocalyptic
