SpaceCamp is the single greatest movie about camps about space!!!  it’s true

how? why?

cause…

Joaquin Phoenix was Leaf Phoenix and he becames best friends with a robot named Jinx (a cross between R.O.B. and Johnny Five) who fulfills his wishes of going into space by forcing the NASA computers to send him into space 

 

Lea Thompson was never more adorable (yes, even more so than in Back To The Future and Some Kind of Wonderful)

it was Tate Donovan’s first true movie role and he looked so good in ugly 80s button-down shirts and he’s so cool and he still looks like this today, and he’s still so cool

it proved that Kate Capshaw could actually act and wasn’t juss some dumb chick Steven Spielberg married

Tom Skerritt’s mustache and Terry O’Quinn’s ‘hair’

Kelly Preston’s hair and her My Little Pony eye make-up thing goings on

 

Lamar Latrell is STRAIGHT AND IN SPACE!!!!!!!!!!

the movie was actually kinda thrilling and terrifying, and probably most so cause it was made before the Challenger disaster and was released five months after it.  YIKES!!!

but mainly SpaceCamp is awesome cause it represents perhaps the final time when Americans were excited about space and camp and space camps

and in general, the movie is juss dang fun!

Is the documentary I’m Still Here a hoax or is it faux-real?  Can it be both?  Can it be neither?  Does it even really matter when Joaquin Phoenix basically sank his own acting career battleship by having his ill-advised hip-hop sojourn chronicled for all to see (by To Die For co-star and brother-in law Casey Affleck), and suffer through?  Sure, there were probably plenty of staged bits (name one reality-based anything that isn’t), but we tend to think there are more genuine moments than there aren’t (hopefully that includes the scene with Edward ‘E-JO’ James Olmos).  This much is certainly true: JP(his name, not ours)’s life is a mess, and that mess keeps gettin messier than Mark Messier at a drunken family reunion of Messiers!!  Watching it unfold is excruciating bidness a majority of time (his post-Letterman appearance meltdown is worth the price of admission alone), slow and boring much of the time, and yet it has a neverending spell of fascination it casts upon any viewer and will never let go!!  Shiz is still haunting us, days after contact, and will be fore the 5seeable future (esp with a return trip to Letterman in the werks)!!!  And beyond all that, it’s a franztastic probing look at modern celebrity culture and the insta-meta-criticism floating round the internets!!  And if it is a hoax, it’s certainly the greatest performance of not only Phoenix’s career, but Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs‘ too!!!!

Update: IT WASN’T REAL!!!!!!!!!!
