"Astronaut Farmer": the most moronic movie

[betgo]

They were showing it on the plane. I just saw the shorts and saw it without the sound. I haven't seen anything more ridiculous. Some guy takes off into space from his barn and his 15-year-old son is mission control.

And the government wants to keep him from launching or something like that right- i think i saw ads for it a while ago (i didnt go see it).

I saw this on a plane too. There was a guy who asked a flight attendant what the movie was about.

Guy: "What's this movie about?"
FA: "It's either about a farmer who becomes an astronaut, or an astronaut who becomes a farmer. I don't know - I haven't seen it."
ME: "It's actually about a guy who grows astronauts in a field."

I thought it sucked. I had earplugs so I listened to parts of it. The best part was when the rocket kinda launched, but not really, and he crashed into the desert at like a million miles per hour and didn't die (or even explode).

I seriously thought this was a spoof or something on SNL or Mad, because saw the preview late at night, and thought it was a total spoof.

Kinda like the Snakes on a Plane preview.
