Come to think of it Starwars is pretty cheesey looking back at it after all these years, but was and is still worshiped.

You may pick on it now, but if you saw it when it hit new like I did you would have loved it, besides its no where nearly as cheesey as twilight.

If Slim Pickens said that, I’d go buy it right this moment.

Was “The Black Hole” cheeseball fluff (with weirdly gay undertones)? Absolutely! Could it be done better? Most probably! But SHOULD it be?

While there have been good remakes in the past (and possibly a few in the present), most of them have been inferior in every way imaginable. I’m more than a little bit tired of hearing about a new, forthcoming “remake” or “reimagining” every other day, and Disney’s been one of the worst offenders, launching a line of straight-to-video sequels and made for TV remakes in the ’90s. Seriously, there’s GOT to be people with new ideas in Hollywood.

I had occasion to see part of “The Black Hole” not that long ago. Oh Cthulhu, such cheese! Female Spock psychic substitute: check! Cute Saturday morning TV show-type cute robot (voiced by Roddy McDowall): check! Comic relief western character cute robot (voiced by Slim Pickins): check! (Oh if he’d only said “what in the Wide World of Sports is-a goin’ on here??”) Robert Forester in his last major studio movie credit until Jackie Brown in 1997: check! Ernest Borgnine with his career going on life support (two years earlier — menacing redneck sheriff in Convoy with Kris Kristofferson and Sam Peckinpah, two years later — bumbling patrolman in Super Fuzz! with Terrence Hill): check! Yet another forgettable role from Anthony Perkins in the 1970′s: check!

And finally…

Blatant flaunting of the laws of physics in a decidedly metaphysical ending in which Maximillian Schell merges with a menacing robot inside a Black Hole and ends up in Hell: CHECK!
