I would agree with almost all of those except maybe the Cadillacs and Dinosaurs cartoon which was not a patch on the source material but didn't completely mess the bed, so to speak.

We're Back! has some of the most warped sensibilities of any film. It's a mess tonally; ugly, treacly and disturbing.
It is a known fact that a significant portion of the mid-1990s internet was devoted to anti-Barney the Dinosaur hate pages and fanfic.
IF YOU ONLY KNEW THE POWER OF THE COPPER-TOP SIDE :Darth Duracellus ignites a quadruple-bladed lightsaber in one hand and hold up a box Duracells in the other: MORE EFFICENT AND ENVIRO-FRIENDLY THAN OTHER FORCE SIDE BRANDS
The Micronauts were originally a line of modular (and magnetic!) action figures from Mego, actually a rebranding of Japan's Microman series of toys (figures, vehicles, etc.) produced by Takara, which lasted from the mid 70s to 1980s. And it was a popular toy-line in North America for awhile. Then during Christmas of…
I had to laugh at Amazon advertising this show with a Washington Post blurb about its staggering "realism". I mean, pfffft, yeah sure.
Whatever interest levels there are in an alt-history TV series, there were far more imaginative and interesting ways of handling it than the network TV-level hackiness evident in this…
there was also an pilot "The Robinsons: Lost in Space", produced for the WB network back in 2003 or so that the network had paid big bucks for the rights to, and then the pilot itself cost more than a few million to make and then…nothing.
Then there was that time Lando posed as a space pirate and his appearance was modeled on another character.
Don't get me wrong, I still like the first Star Wars but, as something produced in that immediate cash in period after A New Hope turned out to be a huge hit and people were falling all over themselves to produce knockoffs, Message From Space has better swordfights and Vic Morrow in a funny hat. Plus Sonny Chiba…
Pretty bold of Lifetime to put on a Thanksgiving-themed horror show.
Mopey Sandler is even worse than the default manchild Sandler character of his early film career. In every other movie he just stands around appearing bored beyond the capacity of the average person to stand, or like he's more miserable than a person can bear.
The secret is that Lucas has always been shit. Seriously read/skim his original draft for The Star Wars. It's terrible, and it's obviously written by the same guy that wrote 1,2 and 3.
"Texas: The major cities of Texas, as they actually exist, have never really been done on TV before."
Um hello, I think we're overlooking a little, subtle, downbeat procedural called "Walker: Texas Ranger".
The Rifftrax is the only reason I watched the whole thing, or as Mr. Murphy puts it near the beinning: "Wow…even in Modesto was there really enough pot around to make this thing happen?"
Let's not forget the other Star Wars/French pop culture connection that many others have pointed out, especially with Besson bringing a big-screen film based on the long running sci-fi comic Valerian and Laureline to theaters - this Popular Mechanics article sums it up pretty neatly: http://www.popularmechanics…
Hey now, this is really another stirring tale of bravery:
The soundtrack was more than acceptable too: https://www.youtube.com/wat…
I just bet these dicks would overlook "Message from Space" aka "Uchu kara no messeji" : https://www.youtube.com/wat…
