Yes, I know posting another video clip after that last lot is a bit lazy, but I just found this and I wanted to share. Max Neptune and The Menacing Squid just might be the new Galaxy Quest – on the other hand it might not, but if it is I want to have said so first.
This daft 1950’s SF movie pastiche is due to be released next summer: I can’t wait, it looks very silly indeed.
