Groom Lake (2002)

Announcement

There is a list on Letterboxd called The Weird and WTF Compendium, which is just under 40,000 terrible and trashy movies, and I've been slowly working my way through it, mining for gold (I'm 9700 movies in). I've been saving potential winners to a list, and this week @Toledo "Pete" Salamanca (He/Him) did me a solid by procuring most of the list (some of the movies are crazy obscure). Tonight is our first foray into the depths, 2002's GROOM LAKE, directed by none other than William Shatner. I'm not going to tell you muuch about the plot, but with this poster, does plot even matter? It stars Bill Shatner himself as well as Dan Lautier (Teen Witch), Amy Acker (from the TV shows Angel and Person of Interest) and Dick Van Patten (a million things, not least of all motherfucking SPACEBALLS!) As usual, I've done my best to make sure there isn't any upsetting content, but I haven't seen it myself so viewer discretion is advised (though I'm pretty sure this is safe). See ya at 630!

Description

When Kate discovers she has a terminal illness, she persuades boyfriend Andy to visit Groom Lake, a reputed hotbed of alien activity, hoping to discover proof of life beyond this terrestrial sphere. Soon, the pair crosses paths with desperate government scientists, eccentric locals and a surprising -- and inspiring --conspiracy of epic proportions.
