Welcome to Win It Wednesday!
​With the 35th Anniversary happening on the 24th it seemed the perfect time for a Spaceballs feature and Dave is here to share it!


Make sure you scroll down for details on how to enter the "Spaceballs​" giveaway too, and as always  ​be sure to let us know what you think!

Dave - Dave Christy loves horror, music, documentaries and more.  He is also the co-runner of several fan based groups including Morningstars (THE Lucifer fan group also run by Melanie), and now is a member of the VIPers Spotlight Lounge team for Melanie's Muses.  Other than "In The Spotlight" Features -check out his "31 Days Of Halloween Movies"

You've had "Spaceballs the VHS Cassette", "Spaceballs the DVD", "Spaceballs the Blu Ray". Now its time for "Spaceballs the Article". We've tackled Mel Brooks and his masterpieces a few different times and its all well deserved. His catalog is loved by many and rewatched many times over. This one is no exception. Primarily a spoof of "Star Wars", Spaceballs" also parodies other scifi movies such as "Alien". With an all star cast like Bill Pullman, John Candy, Daphne Zuniga, Rick Moranis, George Wyner (who we will be seeing at FC3 in September!) and Joan Rivers, along with other recognizable face in smaller roles it is a film designed for the 80's. If you didn't grow up in that era, you may not even know half the cast. In that regard, you could say it didn't age well but on the other side, seeing faces you don't recognize could leave you in the world of the movie instead of taking you out of it for a second to realize "hey, that's what's-his-name from that show".

​ Follow the adventures of Lone Starr and his furry sidekick Barf to save a princess and her droid from Dark Helmet and meet the edible characters of Yogurt and Pizza the Hutt along the way. It has so many classic lines that I can't possibly recite them all or else this will be a super long and boring article. If you saw the movie, you know them already. If you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for? I can't tell you all the lines out of context and you having a blank look on your face, not getting the joke, saying 'yeah, that sounds hilarious" in a monotone voice. Classic Mel Brooks at his finest. If this gem eluded you somehow in the last 35 years, get to immediately-- at ludicrous speed.
