Sleeping Through Space Balls

We're about half-way through watching Space Balls. I hadn't seen it in about 10 years. Now, I probably won't see it for at least another ten. It's not very funny. When you get to the tenth pun in the first 10 minutes, it's already getting old. I guess it's more a movie for Star Wars fanatics and 13 year old boys - maybe that's two in the same.

Diane Keaton and Woody Allen in "Space Balls"

If you want to watch a good sci-fi movie that's also incredibly odd, but very funny. Find Woody Allen's 1973 movie, Sleeper (speaking of which, Geoff fell asleep again). It's about a man, Woody, who's frozen and wakes up in the distant future under an authoritarian government where sex has been replaced by computers. It's a lot different (and worse) than most Woody Allen movies, but it's pretty great. Known in french as "Woody and the Robots" for some reason.

Right now, the space ship is transforming into the gigantic maid with vacuum (complete with the space odyssy [Thus Spake Zarathustra] take-off music). Time to start drinking.
