Starcrash

"But you're the only human-like friend I've ever had," said a Starcrash character, without emotion.

As a CTY Carlisle tradition, we watched Star Wars  Starcrash (what's the difference?). Basically, a broke man ripped off Star Wars eighteen months after it came out. Nearly the whole camp (332 to be exact) wasted 92 minutes of their lives at ATS (the auditorium used for dances and Starcrash) for this. 


The movie was hilariously horrible. Luckily, Lesa had amusing commentary at the right spots. By the way, Lesa is the site director of CTY Carlisle. Prior to the movie screening, she explained how a student tradition like this forces her to screen such a ridiculous film every year. 

During the movie, the actors' voices did not seem intense at all (intense- as in emotional and actor-like). Their emotions were somewhat unconvincing. The phrasing of the dialogues sounded weird, exemplified by the above quote. And then, there is this:

"It's so nice to be turned on again."

Yup, it sounds pervy, doesn't it? ATS was literally filled with loud laughter directly after a robot spoke the above quote. When the movie ended, Lesa held a question and answer session, during which one specific student raised his hand. Lesa already knew that he was going to ask when Starcrash 2 will be screened, so she answered him by saying that Starcrash 2 will never be screened at CTY Carlisle because it is CTY-I. After there were no more questions, David Hasselhoff videos were played (for reasons unknown to me), which somehow caused half of us to go down to the floor and dance and form a conga line. I really do not know why...
