"You're all hairless apes? How disgusting."

CW: Bare duck breasts. Wormholes. 4 Razzie awards. Widely considered the worst movie ever made. Tim Robbins doing a Donald Duck impression. Lea Thompson singing. Superhero whose two talents are marketing copywriting and Quack-Fu.

Howard the Duck (known in France as Howard: A New Breed of Hero) is a 1986 American superhero comedy film directed by Willard Huyck and starring Lea Thompson, Jeffrey Jones, and Tim Robbins. Based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, the film was produced by Gloria Katz and written by Huyck and Katz, with George Lucas as executive producer. The screenplay was originally intended to be an animated film, but the film adaptation became live-action because of a contractual obligation. Although several TV adaptations of Marvel characters had aired during the preceding 21 years, this was the first attempt at a theatrical release since the Captain America serial of 1944.

Lucas proposed adapting the comic book following the production of American Graffiti (1973). After multiple production difficulties and mixed response to test screenings, Howard the Duck was released in theaters on August 1, 1986. Upon its release, the film was a critical and commercial failure and was criticized for its humor, performances, inconsistent tone, and appearance of the title character, though the effects and soundtrack were mostly praised. In the years since, it has been considered among the worst films ever made, (OP's note - you have been warned) but has also developed a cult following. It was nominated for seven Razzie Awards (winning four), and made about US$38 million (US$16.3 million domestically) compared to its US$30–37 million budget

So just after we get the roof in Studio B fixed after the recent issues with the rainbow connection, we hear a plummeting scream, a flash of a purple wormhole, and an armchair with a drunken duck in a suit crashes through, asking for directions to Cleave Land and a beer.

I honestly don't know if he's supposed to be part of the convention or not, but with the Ice Pirates breaking containment (thankfully after the space herpes decontamination) and having to repair the roof again, I've got my hands full. Luckily he hit it off with Buckaroo Banzai, so I put in a room next to the Hong Kong Cavaliers so he could sleep it off. I figure someone will teach him how to use a GPS, although why he wants to go to Ohio is anyone's guess.
