Now watching: The Black Hole (1979).

Why? Because I need more practice at listening to dialogue in Spanish, and it's the first thing in my collection with a Spanish audio track.

I just caught some epic foreshadowing in the first scene, too: "every time I see one of those things, I expect to see some guy with horns and a red suit." Okayyy, now part of the ending seems... if not any less bizarre, at least more explicable.

I'm not apologising for any spoilers here, for two reasons:

• It's been out for 47 years (owww, that really hurts).
• If you haven't already seen it, I recommend you don't. It's bad. Very bad. Like, if I hadn't seen it as a child too young to understand how bad it was, I would not be coming back for more punishment.
  • One exception: if you're putting on a bad-SF-movie evening, preferably involving something mind-altering, this might actually be a good choice. Just... don't take acid such that it'll peak for the ending; this is not 2001, and you will not enjoy it.
