I'm "on-call" for work this week, and I was working on a job when I noticed that Stan Lee's Lightspeed was playing on the tube. I totally forgot about the movie, and I would have missed it had the TV not been on the Sci Fi Channel. I took a few moments from my work to see how the movie went.
Geez, what a craptacular movie. How could Stan "The Man" Lee stamp his name onto this dreck? It may have worked better as a comic book, but the acting and camera work flat-out sucked ass.
I was watching the scene where the big baddie snake dude was going through the hospital, looking to kill off a knocked-out James Bond Jr. (ala Elle going after the Bride in the hospital from Kill Bill Vol. 1). What's up with Snake dude? I had the volume on the TV down pretty low, but it looked like he was uttering philosophical quotes while snappin' the necks of the hospital staff. Ok. and when he gets to 007's son, he cranks up the "radiation". Why not just snap his neck too? Unless he wanted him to live, meh, it was just bad.
Speaking of Bond Jr., for a guy hooked up to all these cables and radioactive equipment, why the hell is he laying on a cheap-ass cot? The springs on the cot were easily visible! Oh right, this was a direct to cable movie, AKA NO BUDGET, NO PRODUCTION COSTS.
Fortunately, I was busy fixing something for work, and I didn't have time to devote my attention to the dreck on the television. I did occasionally look up to the screen every once in a while, hoping to see something better, but no, just more crap (BTW, the cinematographer loves those close-ups). Crap, crap, crap.
