Well Joe, I'm afraid that you offended my favorite unfavored film.
That means either your interpretation is wrong or I'm just plain nuts.
I suspect it is the latter.  I though AotKT was wonderfully bad.
Watching the movie, I get the very distinct impression that it was
supposed to be bad.  It looked like it was a spoof on SF movies.  I
really enjoyed it, but many people have said that I have a bizarre
sense of humor.  Oh well...

I have seen Repo Man, so you and your friends are not alone.  This one
also seemed to be a movie that wasn't supposed to be taken seriously.
I thought the first third and last third were quite good, but it
severely lagged in the middle (I caught myself looking at my watch).
There was alot of subtle humor (especially visual), which means if you
enjoyed it once, you should probably go see it a few more times.
