Watching this obscure film from 1998 and wondering - were martinis that popular back then? I mean, outside of swing revival and lounge culture? Because it seems to be all anyone drinks in this film.

If 24 hours ago you had asked me to describe what the sequel to Rosemary's Baby was probably like, my guess wouldn't have resembled this at all.

I don't think this film gets enough notice for how terrible it is. I've seen it riffed on MST3K and RiffTrax, but seeing it in its natural state really drives home the awfulness. Maybe the worst campy Bond knockoff.
The Million Eyes of Sumuru (1967)
Sumuru is a beautiful but evil woman who plans world domination by having her sexy all-female army eliminate male leaders and replace them with her female agents.

Rarely have I seen a film so earnest, trying so hard to tackle important things, and yet be so ineptly made and completely bonkers.

Turns out this film is not about Sammy Davis Jr's struggle to record his beloved 1972 hit. If you were planning on watching it for that, you are warned.

Comics were more enjoyable when stories were one issue long, with occasional two- or three-parters. Gimme a year of nine or ten different stories and villains, not a year of one drawn out story that will inevitably feature the one villain big enough to justify it.
What comic book opinion would have you like this?
