howard the duck.

Nostalgia has convinced me that i want to buy this on DVD. Can anyone remember if it was actually any good, or am i likely to fall into the same trap as i did in buying Tron? - It turns out on repeated viewing, that it is in fact, shit.



  • Tron shit?

    You don't deserve films.

    • Tron IS shit

      • Tron shits all over the Matrix.

        AND all over your Mum. True fact.

        • i never really

          got the appeal of the matrix anyway....i mean, it's ok, but there aren't enough Ducks in it

          • If you get the special edition DVD

            of the Matrix there's a whole 20 minute duck scene that didn't make it to the final cut.

  • I'd completely forgotten about this

    and only have vague memories of ropey special effects.

  • I don't ever want to see it...

  • It will be shit.

    Sorry. It's cheap in the Virgin sale right now, though. Sorry, Zavvi sale.

  • forget all that crap

    GET INNER SPACE!

  • I'm quitting

    until you retract that Tron comment

    • you have retracted it already

      good. close call.

    • Tron IS shit

      • You are shit

        Tron is ace. It reminds me of those Tomy hold-up-to-your-eyes based video game things that were around late 80s/early 90s. There was one with weird upside down square U shaped red things you had to shoot. They looked a bit like the support struts for my Tomy train set, and I'd re-enact that video game with the Tomy train bridge supports IRL. Incredible scenes.

        • It's also

          a beautifully realised meditation on hierarchies, the dehumanising effects of capitalist society and the folly of unquestioning religious belief. And it still looks amazing.

        • i had forgotten those

          but yes, exactly the same. can we get you one for onstage?!

        • does tomy even still exist?

          what about smoby? they made brilliant kiddy-sized kitchens.

          • ebay...

            must have em!

            • i don't want one

              i was just indulging in pointless nostalgia. i have a real kitchen now.

              • I have no idea what any of those are

                Clearly growing up in South Africa ruined my childhood

                • less watching films on tv...

                  ...more building houses out of tin? xxx

          • Tomy exist

            Smoby too, although they're about to de-merge with model car manufacturer Majorette and ditch a bunch of jobs.

            I am king of researchers.

            • i should probably do some work

              • meh

                COLOUR

                • BLACK AND WHITE

                  i can't find the colour printer in Word and i really need to print something out in colour.

  • it was a load of shit then

    and it'll be a load of shit now. Don't buy it.

    • thats quite stern...

      were you bitten by a duck as a child?

  • utter shite

    but it may be amusing to watch now... I used to have it on video.
