Sheesh, now we’ll find out if they can even GIVE this rotten egg away.
December 29th, 2008 at 10:39 am
I’ve seen much worse films at least this one doesn’t star Nick cage.
December 29th, 2008 at 10:46 am
I actually like this film. Its goofy and lame but funny. I have the VHS tape around here somewhere.
December 29th, 2008 at 10:48 am
Say what you will, I like the movie!
December 29th, 2008 at 10:54 am
I think we have all paid far too high a price for Howard the Duck already…
It took Tim Robbins almost ten years to stop being “Philsie” in my head when I saw him in another role. I believe it was in “The Player” that the stick was finally washed off..

It was an “interesting” film in its own way. Admit that Lea Thompson was not smoking hot back then…
December 29th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
I had a boss once named Phil, a real stern &%# man; I always thought of him as ‘Philsie’.
The novelization of this film is pretty entertaining. It has background info on characters, places and things that make the story more interesting, IMO.

This just demonstrates the DANGER that George Lucas poses for projects that he “loves”.
However, HTD is still more watchable than Episode One OR The Dark Knight.
(Someone please explain to me WHY, when the Joker is hanging upside down restating that BORING good/evil monologue for the third time, WHY does the camera rotate to show us the Joker right-side up? WHY? It’s a BAD, BAD movie.)

There might be some infringement issues here. Should check, cya.
December 29th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Well its more of a Batman/Joker point of view of understanding thing. See When the Joker explains his back up plan, u start to understand what he’s all about, the chaos thing, and as it turns you begin to understand things from his point of view, its not really a monologue between good versus evil its just hidden that way its actually more… its much more ambigeous that way.

“There might be some infringement issues here. Should check”
When hulu.com posts it on their site, and makes the embed code available for people to embed the film…it’s an indicator that it’s okay.
December 29th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Howard rocked for its cheezyness!
December 29th, 2008 at 2:16 pm

it’s only for people in the US.
Sorry, can’t comment on something I can’t see.
December 29th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
I had the biggest crush on Lea Thompson when I was a kid.
December 29th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
I actually went to the theater and saw this movie…and liked it. It’s not great, but it’s quirky.
December 29th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Well it looks like the U.K. is lucky here.
December 29th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
I loved this movie when I was a kid, regardless of what has happened since. I hadn’t read the comics so I didn’t know what I was missing, and it was a giant talking duck. What wasn’t there to like?
December 29th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
This is the absolute best thing George Lucas was involved with in his entire life. Make of that what you will, nancy-boys.
December 29th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
I found this on VHS at a Half-Price Bookstore a few years back and bought it.
(Of course, in the interest of honesty I should point out that I went into Half-Price every week for a month specifically to see if they had it)
December 29th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
I see people defending Howard for its cheesiness. But really to me, this film went to “so bad it’s good” and then kept going into “it’s just really bad.” I remember Lucas had such high hopes that he contracted the cast for the sequel he was sure was coming.
December 29th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
I can’t see it. It is only for people inside US.
December 29th, 2008 at 11:10 pm

You’ll see it when you die. Satan keeps it on autoplay down in the 4th ring of hell.

that opening scene with the naked duckgirl in the tub with boobs is totally fappable
December 30th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
“Where is my double disc super special edition dvd of this already!!!”
It comes out on DVD on March 10. Sorry, only one disc.

@bob
Ugh! I forgot about muppet duck boobage!
January 1st, 2009 at 3:08 am
I can’t watch it. Hulu sucks!

“It comes out on DVD on March 10. Sorry, only one disc.”
Being released by Criterion, no doubt.
