Ok, again with the 372pages but this one was a definite inspiration for Ernest Cline's Armada (not going into exceptionally hot moms or long fingers, but yeah), this was his self-pleasure fantasy that went into the 'spaceship lands at highschool and recruits nerd to save the universe' BS.

I love this movie was part of my first VHS collection cost me 65 bucks back then it needs the riff masters tribute

A fun film from the early days of 3d graphics using the latest tech at the time... a Cray Super Computer (with a built in seating area so you could get bombarded with rogue frequencies) and space based vector graphics. It stars your standard 80's trailer park teen who simply wants more in life than possibly going to the prom with someone who he might be related to, but I digress. It has action and decent writing for the standard space opera format. The female opposite to him has the fear of the unknown and taking chances... mix aliens in with that and it might be another men in black, especially since the only person besides the police who has a shotgun is "granny". What else can I tell you besides its a wholesome movie with aspects of family, aliens who don't want to destroy the earth.. that's a first... And it fits perfectly with the mst3k intro music when dealing with breathing eating sleeping and of course why a human and his alien pal aren't decimating each others planets with the diseases of the month club. I think this would make a fine edition to the mst3k/rifftrax family, even if its just the audio. Thanks!!!

With Ernest Cline’s Armada coming this would be great, especially since I don’t think Mike has seen it

I watched that over and over when I was little. I'm from Las Vegas, so it cracked me up that the big excitement was a kid beating a high score at a video game. It felt slightly corny way back then. Now it is definitely corny, and I can't believe I watched it that much.
