I had today off so I stayed up late watching garbage movies last night that I'd never seen.
Howard the Duck - I've always been morbidly curious cuz it's a legendary trainwreck but was never was bored enough to watch it. And it's definitely a trainwreck... but I was mostly just baffled that it got made at all.
I remember watching Howard the Duck in the theater when I was something like eight, or nine. The father of a girfliend of mine always had free tickets, and he'd bring us to lots of new kid-friendly releases and re-releases: most of the times it was great, and I've experienced movies such as E.T., the Goonies, Short Circuit, the Adventures of Baron Munchausen, D.A.R.Y.L and many more in glorious 35 mm, just at the right age.
I never knew what we were goin' to see next, I went in completely blind, and Howard the Duck was a confusing experience. It was mildly scary in some points, but that was fine (children of the Eighties who endured Atreju's horse drowning in the swamp knew how to deal with strong stuff): the sexual undertones/overtones were much more confusing. I distinctly remember watching Lea Thompson undress and seduce Howard in bed and thinking "wow... I don't think I'm old enough to watch this", while bein' quite aroused by Lea's underwer - and at the same time, almost horrified by the weird interspieces attraction. That's the part that stuck with me when I saw it
But overall, as a kid I found it quite entertaining.
