Bio-Dome

You know... it is pretty darn funny to me why people waste their time on here complaining about how bad a movie was! If you don't like it, great. Post your 1 rating and move on. However, people decide to dwell, leaving messages and posts about how completely terrible this movie is. Noting that the only way to enjoy it is while you are high. Don't you people have anything better to do. The only time I ever post on here is to leave praise for a movie. I figure if a movie is completely terrible, I will post my 1 or 2 rating and move on. Said movies don't deserve my time. Bio-Dome has obviously accomplished something if people are still complaining about it nearly a decade later.

So you think Pauley Shore is a crappy actor, great. Does that mean that this movie automatically sucks? NO. If you go into this movie not expecting much, you can't help but have a good time! The comedy in this movie is no different from any Sandler, Farley, Spade, or otherwise flick. This movie is all about having fun!

Try watching this on one of those weekend nights with group of buddies when you are in a retarded mood and I challenge you not to enjoy it. No, I'm not talking about getting high (I have never and will never "get high" and I still love movies like this and half-baked... sorry guys, there goes you stoner flick stereotype).

I love this movie, every time I watch it I see subtle things that stick out that make it even more enjoyable. Check out that midget towards the end when they are dancing to the "Safety Dance." That little guy is straight out of the music video... classic!

I gave this movie a 10 for sheer enjoyment. I can watch it over and over again still love it. Sorry guys, I'm not just some idiot "stoner" either... I love Citizen Kane, Kevin Smith Films, Dr. Strangelove, Brazil, and probably whatever other "smart" or "artsy" films you want to throw my way. Sometimes you people have to start liking movies on your own, for your own enjoyment, apart from what society, the AFI, or even this site tells you you should like. I'll leave you all with a few of my favorite parts in the movie.

-Breaststrokers...

-I'm a sherman tank!

-So... what you're really trying to say is...

-Let's get that mother-faulkner!

-I don't think he like the way you played with his coconuts...

-Is that laughing gas? No way...

-I feel like a duck billed platypus... quaaaack quaaack.

-Remember... here at Bio-Dome we strive on balancing homos, within the system.

Viva Los Bio-Dome!

Most of the low ratings are coming from kids born after the movie's release, the only reference to 90's culture they have is from movies and television series from the time.

I remember when this movie first came out it was one of the best comedies of the year and was a popular watch for several years after. It's a sort of punk rock/comedy genera that was popular back then.

On viewing it last night, this film immediately usurped the position of my long-standing most despised film of all time, the execrable CALIGULA. BIO-DOME is, beyond any shred of doubt, THE most excruciating comedy I have ever had the misfortune to suffer (yep... it's worse than TOMCATS!). In fact, anything Malcolm McDowell did with a newlywed couple and a fistful of mashed potatoes in CALIGULA was a thousand times funnier than the collective 'jokes' of BIO-DOME.

Movies like this always raise frightening questions. Why is Pauly Shore still paid to appear in movies when the world, by now, should have made him feel unsafe in going outdoors lest a crippling injury befall him? Why is Stephen Baldwin still beating his career to death with inane projects like THE FLINTSTONES IN VIVA ROCK VEGAS after a terrific stint in THE USUAL SUSPECTS? How can a movie be so bad that even a four-second appearance by Tenacious D isn't worth sitting through it?

In closing, I share the words of a good friend who watched the film with me. Partway through the laughless mire, he turned to me with genuine concern and asked, "Mate, are you all right? I've never seen you look like that before".

No one thinks that this would ever get an oscar. It's just silly, and actually makes a point about the environment if you aren't too busy getting your panties in a twist. It's 90'stastic silly. It's fun to watch and more fun to make fun of, so just chill out y'all. Not to mention it gave some young actors a chance at the big screen, so just check your pretention at the door please.

Ok, so it was at the end of the school year, but we still watched it. So these guys get dumped by their girlfriends, and to prove that they can be responsible or whatever, they sneak into the Bio-Dome. Of course, while they're in there they cause nothing but trouble. What a concept. Why isn't this everyone's favorite? It is so amazingly deep.

What can I say about Pauly Shore? Not much except that he's been taking a long "break". And Stephen Baldwin? Well, he went on to a glorious career too. C'mon, movies like...and, um...yeah. The scientist chicks were hot. I was p****d they had to make out with those two goons though. Don't waste your time with this one. Forget you even looked this movie up, it is that bad.

Hot scientist chicks: A+

The rest of this movie: F
