Does it come with a DVD, vinyl, anything?

That may have been the worst movie ever made. We only ran it one time. We had two couples show up and they walked out. We gladly refunded their money and closed the theater for the night.

Easy for you to say, you have your own Lego figurine

This one's cooler.

Wall-E, the yellow submarine and the Caterham are all from the Lego Ideas line, which means they were user-submitted and then received 10,000 votes. So they're exactly what people want to see, more so than some new ninja dinosaur pirate set would be.

So, you're saying that we all live in a lego submarine?

In reply to Keith Tanner:

Ooh. I voted for the Caterham. I didn't realize it came to fruition. I guess I need to buy a kit.

EDIT: The original proposed car had functional steering and a lot of the details have been changed, but I'll still buy the kit.

Some day in the distant future archaeologists are going to find some of this E36 M3 at a dig and draw some very interesting conclusions about our society that are not even close to what the reality was. It will never occur to them that adults were building models of a pop culture reference to a movie that was a flop almost 50 years before the model was made. I mean... how could they ever get the success of Lego in history right?

It makes one wonder how well they did with Aztecs or Greeks. Maybe Socrates was the pop culture equivalent of South Park.

Was anyone on acid? I am pretty sure you need to be on acid when watching that movie.

I think that had to have been the problem. I was very familiar with one of the couples. Guy was a super redneck jerk. I doubt he dropped acid.

I can tell you four customers and four employees hated it.

And don't get me wrong. I love the song.
