Mars Attacks!

This is a really funny movie. I highly recommend it. "Mars Attacks!" was definitely Tim Burton on acid while he was making this movie. If you like other Tim Burton movies like Ed Wood or Beetlejuice, multiply the weirdness of either of those by 10 & you'll get the idea how good this movie was. I kinda got the idea that Tim Burton had had some discussions with John Waters about the American experience for some insight on some of the scenes.
I don't want to give anything away, but once you see how they kill the Martians, you'll probably agree that, although you had never thought of using that particular product in that way, it would make sense that that would be one of the uses for that item. Also, I don't think that anyone here has ever heard the Star-Spangled Banner as played by a Mariachi band.
