A VHS tape of this movie was one of my treasured hand-me-downs in high school.
You see, young'uns, back in my day, you had sporadic access to pornography, so every crinkled copy of Hustler or poorly-tracked VHS tape was worth its weight in gold.
Seriously-- had they had the internet of today back in 1988, I would have never graduated.
Bottom line: I learned to ignore the Nixon mask (and that music, God that awful music!) in order to get the job done.
@Daveinva: I remember those days, back when I'd meet out in the woods to trade a favorite butterfly knife to my distant cousin for a few of his hand-me-down Hustlers. One even featured a lady in silver body paint who was pretending to be a gynoid. Yes, I made out like a bandit.
Wow. The subtlety of the writing about the nature of existence and how we are all about the lives that we are able to to connect with in such a limited space.
The costume designs slight suggestion of the everlasting love through the repetition of rods and circles with the shiny metals representing the stars in space.
The chemistry between the actress and the rod shaped teacher was just too heartbreaking. You can't fake that kind of pleasure from seeing natural chemistry.
And my God, the cinematography. Please tell me he got more work after this.
i love the infinite mirror thing on the set, though. straight out of late 70's spencer gifts, baby. back when you could buy drug paraphernalia at the mall.
And it appears to have a budget of less than $5. The "robot" looks like it was made from a clothes hamper. Man, would that job have sucked...being made to wear a costume made from a porn-movie set clothes hamper. Yech! There was probably enough DNA in that thing to restart the human race.
@atrus123: Agreed. It's hard work, but someone has to do it. ;-) Personally I want to know where to find one of those vac robots to cause scantily clad space women to hang out masturbating on my carpet.

God bless you, sir and God bless America.
These kids today don't know how bad you guys had it back in the old days.
