Mars Attacks again.
The movie is so brilliant, I think that's why it failed. People didn't understand it, this movie is a great big love letter to cheesy 1950s B-Movies.
Every cliche, from black-man-dies-first to white-lab-coat-scientist smoking a pipe, is celebrated and played entirely for laughs.
All the deaths are over the top and almost poetic!
For example: The president throughout the movie only cared about his image to the public. He's then literally stabbed in the back from a handshake think about that... It actually means something!
If you love Mystery Science Theater 3000, or those shitty Ed Wood movies you'll understand this movie and what it was try to do.
