it's on TBS now. It's been hilarious so far. Best spoof of Star Trek ever.

Guy = awesome
[The crew is on a shuttle descending to an alien planet.]
Guy Fleegman: I changed my mind. I wanna go back.
Sir Alexander Dane: After the fuss you made about getting left behind?
Guy Fleegman: Yeah, but that's when I thought I was the crewman that stays on the ship, and something is up there, and it kills me. But now I'm thinking I'm the guy who gets killed by some monster five minutes after we land on the planet.
Jason Nesmith: You're not gonna die on the planet, Guy.
Guy Fleegman: I'm not? Then what's my last name?
Jason Nesmith: It's, uh, uh---I don't know.
Guy Fleegman: Nobody knows! Do you know why? Because my character isn't important enough for a last name, because I'm gonna die five minutes in.
Gwen DeMarco: Guy, you have a last name.
Guy Fleegman: DO I?! DO I?!?! For all you know, I'm "Crewman Number Six"!

Guy Fleegman: Wait, don't open that! It's an alien planet! Is there air? You don't know!
[The shuttle door opens. Kwan sniffs the air and shrugs.]
Fred Kwan: Seems okay.

 

[LakeEarth]

Yeah. It got WAY too much critic praise when it came out so I went into it expecting more, but it's still a funny movie.

 

[Willco]

Guy is the best part of that movie.

 

[calder]

I thought it was really funny when I saw it in the theatre.


We were the ONLY 2 ppl in the theatre, and it was a Saturday night and the movie had been out for less than a week so I think it didn't do too good at the box office.

I actually heard rumors of a sequel recently. I'd love to see it made too.

Anyway, I wish I had seen it in theaters. It's definitely one of my favorite comedies of recent years. Sam Rockwell steals the film, but everyone else is pretty great too.

Guy Fleegman: DO I?! DO I?!?! For all you know, I'm "Crewman Number Six"!

I love that bit. He's just screaming it in that wild panicked voice. Of course, Tim Allen uses Guy's last name like two minutes later, but still, great stuff.

And seriously, does anything beat Guy's entrance for the show's titles at the end? I love it. So sleazy, cocky and nonchalant. Cracks me up every time.

 

[Littleberu]

And he's gonna play Zaphod in HGTTG!!! Awesome!

 

[=W=]

I friggin' love Sam Rockwell.

That scene at the end of Confessions of a Dangerous Mind,

Spoiler

when he's standing in the doorway while Julia Roberts is dying

, he's just so badass.

And in Charlie's Angels

Spoiler

when you find out that he's the villain

and Got To Give It Up starts playing and he's dancing and he's all badass. He and Bill Murray were great in that movie.

And he was hilarious in Safe Men and Welcome To Collinwood.

Can't wait for HGTTG.

He was also good in Matchstick Men. Funny thing is when I was watching Charlies Angles I thought he was Beck. When he started dancing I was positive it was Beck.

 

[MrPing1000]

good film can't make up my mind who the best character is betweenDr. Lazarus Tech Sgt.Chen and Guy

By the way, what's the name of that song that plays in the background with the Godzilla sample?

Galaxy Quest is the best Trek movie I've seen in years, and its not even Trek

This movie is up there in my limited list of movies I own on DVD.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Whoa, this movie was so long ago. It was pretty funny then, but I haven't seen it lately at all to see if I still enjoy it. But it's not see it's not as much of a guilty pleasure as I had originally though. I was thinking it was a cheesy corny flick that somehow only I would enjoy. :/

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

Buy is great, but Fred is the MAN.

 

[cvxfreak]

Man, I haven't seen this movie in years but I have it on VHS. Now I wanna go watch it again!

 

[demon]

I always expected it to be some shitty, cheesy, kid-oriented space movie. I watched it on cable for the first time maybe three years ago and thought it was funny as hell. I almost considered getting it on DVD.......almost.

 

[Chipopo]

wow, I was so close to making a thread about how awesome this movie is and then I thought; "Man, I'll probably just get torn apart" and forgot about it. Seems like I'm not alone in assuming I was the only one to find it funny. Must be Tim Allen.

 

[fennec fox]

Bad CG, but it's funny!

 

[Mejilan]

I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. Considering whether it's DVD worthy or not...

 

[LakeEarth]

Bad CG, but it's funny!

I thought that was kinda on purpose. To go with the satire of Trek.

 

[MASB]

I saw Galaxy Quest for the first time this weekend on TBS. Great stuff. My favorite character is Dr. Lazarus. Alan Rickman's great in the role. "I swear by Grabthar's Hammer, I will avenge you!" "I was in Richard III!" He's so reluctant to be the character, but by the end, he kind of embraces it. I like his 'smile' in the credits of the new series.

And Jason NeSmith is such a parody of William Shatner, but in interviews, Shatner acts like the character is nothing like Captain Kirk. lol.

I wish there was a sequel (with the original cast of course). There's alot of interesting things they could do in a new movie.

 

[musicplustv]

Love the movie, saw it in the theater, bought the DVD. Sam Rockwell is hilarious in it. I met him a couple weeks ago at a party(Vince Vaughn was there too). He's actually kind of short, but he was sporting the mustache, just like in Galaxy Quest.

 

[BojTrek]

I watched it 3 times over the weekend... It was on all weekend, so if I turned it on I would keep it on...

I told my wife on Saturday, that if we were gonna watch it... why not throw in the DVD. I put the DVD in and it skips... I have never watched the DVD and it skips...

So we watched it with the commercials.

We love the movie, the CG special effects are really good... better than a lot of A-list movies.

She cracks up every time Guy walks in on the preview for the new show. Classic!

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

The DVD has an alternate language track in the alien language. CLassic!

Quotable:

"Like Gilligan's Island"
"Those poor people!"

"Does the rolling help"

and one that's a regular in my household now:
"Hold please"
