All in all

Pics: from beginning to end.

("Uh, you want to see which movie?" to "We're really going to see this absurd movie, huh?" to "That's right, punks. Proof of (non-) purchase.")

This movie was ridiculous but actually kind of stupid/funny. Kids definitely would like it. Adults should have slightly more alcohol than we did to fully appreciate what is unfolding (or unraveling) before their eyes.

I'm just glad Comet stepped up in the end. And Andy Samberg ... well, don't make any plans to visit Australia anytime soon.

All in all, it lived up to the fake hype. And clearly it was one of Stanley Tucci's best performances.

Will leave you with this exchange (also listed on IMBD), which begins with Ham, our protagonist, claiming he is not an astronaut.

Titan: Are you in aluminum clothes?
Ham III: Yes.
Titan: Are you in a rocket?
Ham III: Yes
Titan: In outer space?
Ham III: Yes.
Titan: Are you David Bowie?
Ham III: Uh... no.

Apparently it all would have been funnier if the chimps had British accents. That pretty much goes for any movie.

initial reax...

It could have been worse...

But glad it was free.

What to look forward to now?

Chimp my ride.

"I picked a bad week to stop eating bananas."

"if you swallow me, I will only grow stronger." - Kilowatt's last words?

So far...

"If I ever meet that actor I am going to hit him."

Animal abuse ain't funny, KP.

There was a funny line about Barstow.



Meanwhile, KP embarrassed by monkey that can't swing on vines. Aren't we all...

Need more booze

KP, sporting a Luna sticker, already is calling her a badass. My chimp, Comet, is a computer dude. Appropriate.

Quote of the movie thus far: "they will explode like a mouse in a microwave"

Comet is getting left behind. Fuck that!

Axel F is on now. This keeps getting better.

Chimp it up

We're now in the theater, wondering how Space Chimps possibly could get bottom billing. Best for last?

Watching trailer that makes no sense whatsover, KP says "definitely a disney movie ... What is going on?!"

Let's just say these are movies only wanting to be in space chimps neighborhood.

KP has had enough and is going to mix our booze-filled coke concoction.

It's "Chimptastic!"

For weeks and weeks I've been (somewhat) jokingly spreading the word about the movie event of the season. No, not Dark Knight.

Space Chimps.

A couple of us added the surefire blockbuster to our fantasy movie teams, only to have it overshadowed on opening weekend by the newest Batman flick. But despite the countdown clock to opening night I had in my cube, courtesy of Y! pal KP, it is only today that I finally get to experience the phenomenon that is Space Chimps.

Here are some reviews. Read 'em and weep (the studio and producers surely did).

So tonight I get to see it for myself. I will attempt to blog the "event" -- we'll see how it goes. Or if I can get a mobile signal. So stay on the edge of your seats -- you know, all the empty seats that have been greeting this film ... though KP does point out that our friendly Chimps outdid Angelina Jolie this past weekend.



And check your grocery store. There are bananas out there with Space Chimps stickers on them. You should get them. Get them now. And eat those bananas. Support this film -- we want a straight-to-video sequel! Damnit.
