Horrible Films – Howard the Duck
have you ever seen a movie so downright detestable that it truly made you want to take a shower? a movie so laden with crap that you never wanted to watch another movie again? yeah, Howard the Duck is that movie. one must cleanse the cinematic grime from the pores after viewing such a stinky wad of blue cheese. watching hot, steaming garbage such as this is more than enough to provide permanent scarring of the ocular tissue. this little booger was produced by George Lucas in 1986, and i guess it seemed like a good idea back then to stick a little man in a big duck suit and have him save the earth from aliens. Howard the Duck was not of this world (i will not even attempt to understand an alien planet populated by giant, talking, clothed ducks), and the overall idea of the movie is entirely laughable…in a not very funny at all sort of way. Howard first appeared in a Marvel comic back in 1973, and i think it’s a huge difference reading about a scary looking talking duck than it is watching his soon-to-be-my-dinner ass prancing around on the big screen. an up and coming Tim Robbins and Lea Thompson, for whatever reason (i don’t know who read the script and thought “man, this is a hell of an idea, let’s green light this shit!”) decided to star in this flick, and i’m surprised that their careers survived. Old George Lucas needs to wipe his ass with the original film reels, flush this turd back to the center of the earth, and then call it a day. i think i’ve successfully put the beatdown on this dead horse, so excuse me….i’m off to take a shower.
Khalid, this priceless video is for you.
