Just watched the 1980 Flash Gordon film. It was pretty great, in a just dumbass fun kind of way. Flash is pretty much Chad, and goes around playing NFL (which was hard to believe he's white, blonde and looks like a body builder, instead of a big flabby black guy) and boning chicks and also being pretty much a moral-fag (the only reason moral-fags ever win in fiction is because the writers cheat).
He's pretty much a sci-fi James Bond, which means he's the guy we can all fantasise about being. That's something that's getting rare nowadays, when most heroes are conflicted manlets like Jason Bourne or purple haired kamikaze cat women like the woman in the new star wars. No one fantasises about being that fat little asian chick in the new star wars.
Ming is also great, and his whore daughter brings lulz.
i always imagine flash gordon as a someone who wears nothing but an olive green trench coat and boots and goes around town exposing himself to women and children.

I went to see that at the movie theater with my older brother when that came out. Thought it was pretty cool. Then HeavyMetal came out my parents would not let me go see it so I road my bike all the way to movies and went by myself. Now HeavyMetal was A FUCKING good film.
