Path 9/11. Instant Cult Classic Ala Reefer Madness. It's So Bad It's Camp.

[KittyWampus]

Really. College kids could use this for a Movie O'The Week Buzz it's so bad.

One of the best ways to bring your enemies down is laugh at them.

This movie is a hidden gift to the Left in so many ways.

[Nikki Stone 1]

1. Why would ABC air such an amateurish film?

Makes one furiously think, eh?

[Tatiana]

21. I'm sure the majority of the $40 million this "film" allegedly cost

was spent in payola to ABC for airing it. No advertisers? This is sort of like a paid-for-tv propaganda advertisement for the wingnuts.

[Nikki Stone 1]

30. You'd think that if propagandists were willing to pay 40 million

they would have hired better film makers. Perhaps no legit director wanted to be part of this?

[complain jane]

2. I switch the channel to it every now and then- camera shake is nauseating.

I can't imagine too many people staying tuned in to it for very long, it's a piece of shit, a snoozer.

[ShortnFiery]

3. I knew if the rest of the movie was like the two "teaser" scenes

shown by the whorish M$M Cable News networks, it would SUCK POND WATER. Good! :P

[Tellurian]

33. ....

[gumby]

4. That is sooo good.

Insightful analysis.

Yeah, laugh at 'them.'
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Mz Pip]

5. Damn the liberal media!

If it tanks, the liberals will be blamed. :evilgrin:

6. Remember Dan Ackroyd's SNL Skit "Bad Cinema"?

I keep waiting for Dan Ackroyd as Leonard Pinth-Garnell to turn to the audience, smile and say "Wasn't that truly dreadful?"

This is unbelievably awful. Exactly what one might expect from an aging "Youth With A Mission" cultist leader who thinks that he knows what today's kids think is hip. Every cliche in the book is used. It bounces back and forth in short dark clips, interspersing flashing NYC disco scenes (complete with glowing green drinks) with sepia-toned Middle Eastern action scenes. Clearly the producers sold this to ABC as a movie that would appeal to the MTV set, hence the Scholastic study guide aimed at high schoolers. I don't think that they understood their audience though. This truly is dreadful cinema.

[gumby]

27. Thanks for noticing the "green."

And the other colors.

I've posted about the "colors" of this "film."

Colors seem very intrinsic in this propaganda.

[Junkdrawer]

7. I call it "Path 9/11 from Outer Space"....

Yes, it's that bad.

[KoKo]

8. It's NOT a "hidden Gift to the Left" (quoting you) it's a GIFT TO ROVE

and a TRASH TO EVERY DEM WHO PHONED, WROTE AND SIGNED PETITIONS.

You think it's "Laughable." Well...so is our DEMOCRACY at this point according to what you say about this "CAMPY MOVIE" that ranks with "Reefer Madness."

yeah...right.

[iconoclastic cat]

14. You completely lost me. Could you clarify your point, please? nt

[KoKo]

15. Oh yeah....see post 12 here...but I doubt that you didn't understand what

I said...but if you did see 12...

[iconoclastic cat]

18. Well, I don't get the "it's a TRASH TO EVERY DEM WHO PHONED, WROTE..."

and I don't understand the quotes around "LAUGHABLE." But never mind. The moment has passed.

[KoKo]

23. If Cinton & those in his Administration don't do a Lawsuit after this then

I think it's a disservice to those of us who went after ABC...That's what I meant. Sorry, I'm very worried about what's left of our Democracy/Constitution and thought you were "trolling me." If I jumped at you...I apologize for seeming to do that.

Peace!
koko

[Catchawave]

9. It's certainly an ABC hatemongering-fest

SEE, the Middle Eastern "brown" People are not to be trusted ! Sad :cry:

[AnnieBW]

10. MST3K!

Too bad MST3K isn't around anymore.

[KittyWampus]

Oh, Mystery Science Theater... had almost forgotten that

:D

Thanks for the memories.

[karlrschneider]

11. You're right. I've switched over to it enough to see about half so far

and it's a 'movie' disaster. If they paid the 'director' more than 20 bucks, they got screwed. What
a sorry fuckin' excuse for even a "mellerdrama", let alone any kind of serious effort to portray history. It's actually funny in a sad and wierd way.

[KoKo]

12. BTW...Sheesh...(batting eyelashes) WHAT was ALL THAT FUSS about??

Huh...huh...huh? Bunch of Frenzied Lefty Bloggers got their "Knickers in a Twist" over a Campy Movie?

Why did you "cut and run" on your post and thread about this? Huh...Huh...Huh????????

[KittyWampus]

16. I don't smoke pot anymore and that is all that'd make this palatable

[KoKo]

25. There's not much that can "overide" what's going on no matter what

"vice" we try to use. I don't even know if therapy or heavy meds could do it....:-( It's interfered with so many of our lives for so many years.

Still...we must be hopeful...and make plans if we aren't.

[Tellurian]

13. Agreed. It;s SO F****** boring, I doubt Bush is even watching-

Their mistake was going back to the 93' bombing.. AND..
no commercials...guffhaw..If they were trying to make a point
they should have called Jerry Bruckheimer.

Who in the world is going to sit for 3 hrs and be able
to decipher what in the hell is going on? A Republican?
A Democrat? Not going to happen boys and girls..

This movie is DOA- Shrink the viewership by 99$ tomorrow night..

PU!

[Tellurian]

17. BTW..The only ones that look like they have any scruples are

The Muslims.. The good ones turned the bad ones in!

Wish the same would happen here.

[karnac]

19. second part is supposed to bash bush.

oh well. no more audience, no bash bush.

[Tellurian]

31. Oh, well now...If most of the audience isn't fast asleep..

The Canadian border US Customs agent Diane Dean, has made an arrest.
Things are starting to get interesting. Sandy Burger's decision not to
take the shot at Bil Laden seems reasonable. Is the Pat character a reliable
portrayal? (She seems a bit over the top.)

The news broadcast (Miller) about Clinton and the Lewinsky debacle, where they mention he
is under "attack" by Republicans while the Jihad is blowing up..is a good thing..imo
Makes them look really bad...especially, compromising our security to satisfy
some depraved need for partisan satisfaction..

<Blank edit> announcement for tomorrow's conclusion..

[annabanana]

34. So THAT'S why he's going to interrupt tomorrow!!

NOW I got it!

[Jane Eyre]

20. Are they preparing their defense?

If the movie is so bad that no one could possibly take it seriously, much less watch it, could this be used as a defense in the upcoming defamation trial?

:evilgrin:

[TomClash]

22. They could call it

"Freeper Madness" :crazy:

[KittyWampus]

24. LOL! Touche!

[KoKo]

26. Thanks! FREEPER MADNESS! LOL's ...a good one....n/t

[gumby]

28. "Freeper Madness" it IS!

:applause:

[mentalsolstice]

29. It's a Stink Bomb

I live in the south, so I know the choir this film is preaching to. But, I'm 'feard that the average chwor me'ber tis goin' to tern it off and switch 'ver to the ballgame, 'cordin to what yer sain' 'bout that movin' picshur show. It's a bit too confusin' fer me 'n paw.

[Marie26]

32. EXTREME closeups & shaky cameras

I've seen home movies w/better production values. This is what happens when you let Christian missionary interns make a movie.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

35. Just one small difference...

Reefer Madness is actually funny. I suspect Path is simply amateurish self-aggrandizement- kinda like LaHaye's Left Behind series.(Note; I'm a Christian, and I still LOATHE LaHaye)

[gumby]

37. Why is 'Reefer Madness' "actually funny"?

It probablly wasn't at the time? This "movie" is actually a contestant in that genre.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

38. Reefer was not meant to be funny, but it is

Plan 9 From Outer Space falls into that same category.

Path will always simply be thought of as BAD.

[lectrobyte]

36. Heavy handed moments, yes indeed.

If we captured that laptop here, we'd never be allowed to look at it.

The "it's your fault" emotional speech by the woman after the embassy bombings.

And a special tip of the cliche hat to the singing of Danny Boy.

[ldf]

39. maybe the Mystery Science Theatre 3000

crew should jump on this one!

:rofl:
