I need help too. There's a movie I saw as a kid but just can't remember. See there's this space battle, and then 2 robots, one which looks like the tinman from Oz but copper and one that looks like a trash can, take an escape pod to a desert planet where a teenage boy and old pervy dude find them and then leave the planet with some cocky guy and his dog-like friend and then they go to a moon sized artificial planet that has like this megalaser and they rescue some chick with her hair in rolls on the sides of her head then they launch an attack on the fake moon and blow it up. Oh, and there's laser swords. Anyone? There may have been sequels or prequels but I'm not sure.

What the hell is your problem?

Another fucking "help me remember this movie as a child" thread? No, no way. This is your sick and twisted idea of a parody. You come up with vague, retarded, and meaningless explanations of a movie that was from back in the day and then you start a post about it (which we talked about...) and sit back and watch people try to guess what it was.

You're fucked up in the head, kid. You're a liar, you aren't liked here, you're barely welcome. You should have no interest in posting but for some reason you still keep coming back, over and over again. If this were real life we'd be the drunk jobless husband that beats his wife (the wife would be you) but the wife just keeps coming back because she's go 0 self esteem and 0 chance for a life anywhere else.

Why do you even try dude? Just give up. It used to be almost painful watching you try, but now I think we're all numb to it, and pretty annoyed.

Not that I care or don't care for the OP, but you may want to have your medication checked.
 
I think it's hilarious that certain people get so bent out of shape over certain posters. It's like they know they aren't going to like what they see yet are too weak-minded not to open up the topic.

Then they think somehow the OP's are just as weak as they are and may get hurt by some name calling.

A few of their moms even think they are a bit too senstitive too.

"You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the Frontier against Xur and the Kodan Armada"

I was happy to see Lance Guest appear as the journalist in Jericho. Good for him, I thought, he's getting a career reboot. But seeing as he was killed in the next episode, guess that ain't gonna be happening.
