Night of the Comet (1984): Another Netflix movie on for noise. This was almost a zombie movie from 1984; a comet kills everyone on Earth and infects the survivors, except they weren’t really all that many zombies in it. Most of the movie’s just these 1980’s big-haired girls worrying about what might happen if zombies ever show up. They mostly don’t. It was a lot of “When are they gonna get to the fireworks factory?” They didn’t really overcome the no budget thing.
No. Sorry. Not letting you get away with this pissy (pussy) dismissive crtique so easily. The movie is not background noise and shouldn’t be criticised in that manner. Maybe you were in a bad mood? Maybe you were too busy rubbing one out at the time?
Night of the Comet rocked. It had hot soap opera cheerleaders in mini skirts, a mall, a movie theater, a radio station, machine guns, and rock and roll. Maybe because I saw it when it was released in the 80’s, when it really meant something. What with Reagan and mutually assured destruction and all. Kind of like the movie “They Live” with Roddy Rowdy Piper. It’s distinctly a product of it’s time.
I didn’t like movies before my time, like Breakfast at Tiffany’s, but I get the cultural/age thing. I don’t like much black and white movies unless it includes the Marx Brothers or Sergei Eisenstein.
Watch the movie again dude. With yor full attention. Maybe smoke a bowl. Stop critiquing movies as background noise. It’s way better than that Walking Dead shit. Ten times better. Fuck, Walking Dead wouldn’t have happened without Night of the Comet. (And seriously, are you still subscribing to Netflix? If so, you might be the only one left. Turn the lights out when you leave).
A lot of shit happened before you were born dude, and there is a context for everything.
Stop being so closed minded. Culture did not begin when you were born. The Walking Dead is okay, but zombies have been done to death.
