It’s hard to find. Can sometimes be found on “Comcast on Demand”… it’s in short supply.

A movie like say, Blade Runner, survived harsh critics to become a genre expanding classic. But Howard The Duck deserved its critical grave!

Blade Runner was indeed a good movie.

Nope, Howard got buried by the critics upon release, and justifiably so…

This is where you are just full of fail. They couldn’t understand the genius of it. It made too much fun of itself for them to really get it.

Quite possible. But let me ask you this: if no one gets the joke, is it still funny?

Nice Bladerunner scene sophie, thanks for that!

howard the duck still ranks among the worst movies ever made. i just can’t explain why i saw it three times.

blade runner is one of the rare movies that was better than the book it was based on (do androids dream of electronic sheep?). i would expect courty to have a comment on that one!

Hmmm. I for one, think Howard the Duck is a great film, but I can totally see how most people do not recognize it’s greatness, and also see how the critics demolished it. It is very specific to a certain sense of humor.

With all due respect, I want to know how many people voted yes on this post because it was authored by an admin :) Just curious… although I love it I’ve met very few other people who do in real life
