Here's COMET's schedule:

I actually cried out in surprise when I saw the clip among upcoming films! I haven't seen this since it was on HBO in the early Eighties! When I saw "Predator", I immediately thought of this movie. Just think: Kevin Peter Hall must have had a case of deja vu!

This film taught me to never count out an actor. When I saw this way back when, I thought, "Well, Martin Landau and Jack Palance have hit bottom!" But, each would win a Best Supporting Actor Oscar much later in life. So, don't ever think an actor is through; there are many astonishing comebacks in movies and on TV.

Watching it right now on Comet in Toronto, Canada.
Never heard of it before so I just had to look this film up because I love cheesy Horror/Sci-Fi films.

Entertaining so far though I'll try to see it without all of these damn commercials.

Commercials definitely are far too interruptive and last too long. But, I think sometimes they are filling the time slot.

I wanted to watch it again today, but my mom was patient enough to have sat through it when I watched it a few days ago. I hope to catch it again, perhaps in the wee hours of the morning.

It's much better than I recalled. I can see where the "oldsters" weren't as bottom-of-the-barrel as it seemed in the early Eighties when this was on HBO. They taught me a lesson to never judge when a career is over. I really enjoyed their performances. I was in my late 20s back then, so I'm surprised I was that judgmental.

I do love COMET!

Watching it too, but there is an audio glitch here over Comcast. Thought they were just editing foul language, but I am getting dead spots during commercials too.
Still cool to see for first time. I also am fan of Ralph Meeker and Neville Brand. So great to see there little parts in it.
