 Baba Jambi of the Unhappy Flower Cult examines a cat sent to her by the rival Doomed Planet Cult. "Remember all the sixties drughead flower-brain filmmakers who decided that movies didn't need a story, because that was Establishment bull, and movies didn't need to make sense, because that was what the man wanted, and movies didn't need professional actors, because that was not reality, brothers and sisters? And so from about 1968 to 1973 we have some of the most painfully unwatchable acid-trip montage collage fromage celluloid assaults ever seen before or since, with voiceover narrators quoting Kahlil Gibran and barefoot guys named Ian babbling about Vietnam and girls in sack dresses having sex with Jesus-bearded snorting potheads. Is it all coming back to you now? Well, they're baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! These neo-hippies migrated up the coast and became smug Seattle post-modern ironists, and the only thing different about their movies is that this time they're trying to be funny. Thank God." Doomed Planet reviewed by Joe Bob Briggs
"The film's already drawn hate mail from some family-values wankers upset that the flick "markets satanism, cultism,
cross-dressing, alcohol and drug consumption, violence, etcetera to a broad audience including minors." So
it's already my favorite film of 2000, even though I've seen only a few clips, one of which depicts two rival
doomsday cults battling with Frisbees at Bruce Lee's grave. The clips also contain acting of extreme intentional
badness, bizarre editing styles and a commercial for a "broccoli substitute" called Broccolium 2000."
"It's nice to know the no-budget, no-hype, no-pretensions NW comic spirit lives on."
