Re-watching THE BLACK HOLE (1979)

I originally saw The Black Hole with my motorcycle ridin’ buddy on a snowy night. His brother-in-law drove us to the Met in the family Duster and was listening to Led Zeppelin. I still associate their music with The Black Hole. Shreddies boxes were advertising for The Black Hole. Breakfast, nightfall — I couldn’t get away from it. 

Hey, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! I might have pleasant memories, but that doesn’t mean I recommend The Black Hole — not at all. The Black Hole is a terrible movie. A retelling of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea with cute robots and more WOWIE-ZOWIE! special effects — please don’t watch it. And the ending is kinda weird (that link is only for people with NoScripts, though).

I loved this movie as a kid.
I haven't re-watched it for decades now. But that's partly due to not having access to an available copy. I'd be sorely tempted to sit down for a re-watch if I ever tracked it down again.

I used to love this movie. But, boy, is the ending ever weird!
