It just cracks me up that Joaquin Phoenix is the little kid from Spacecamp. This is a movie that, for some reason, I used to watch every time it was on tv in Brooklyn. It stars the loathsome Kate Capshaw as an astronaut who's teaching kids at space camp. The kids are your usual band of tokens and stereotypes. One day Kate and the kids go inside a real, live spaceship to see how it works and guess what happens? Guess. Guess. Go on, guess. That's right, the spaceship accidentally blasts off into space. Luckily, the kids have been trained to be different members of a flight crew and know exactly what to do. Joaquin (ne้ Leaf) plays the younger kid who is a genius so they let him stay at space camp even though he's too young. His best friend is a robot. The robot is the one who accidentally blasts them off into space. Damn, that movie rocks in such a sucky way. I think I'll go watch it. Guess what? I have it on tape. (My mom brought it home for me one day. I pretended to be embarrassed but gave up quickly so I could watch it. It cost her three dollars.) |
