-Forget his blinking; that whole movie looks like an anus collapsing!!!

Was that a zipper I saw in the back of Homoti's suit or was his ass-crack as hideously over-sized as his ass?
This review was awesome-tastic.
Reply to this
10:15: "That looked more disturbing than if it were a cum shot!" -Uh, I don't know how to tell you this Brad, but I think that *was* a cum shot.
Reply to this
That's no watered milk. That's watered raki, an anise-flavored spirit popular in Turkey.

Hilarious review.
So far, I think that Homoti has the best E.T. rip-off costume. The face works, more or less, and the rest of the costume is delightfully hilarious.
Reply to this
this one is just as bad!
Reply to this
wtf?
Reply to this
Sir, you are publishing (bad) movie reviews faster than I can watch them. And I used to consider myself to be a fan, like in F-A-N-atic. Mrs. Snob, help!!! Please give this man a life
Reply to this
That ET toy was most expensive prop in Homoti.
Reply to this
Wait, was that a "Battle of LA" reference? (Even if it wasn't I'll think it was and be a happy lunatic)
Reply to this
Great episode. This E.T.-rip off didnt seem that bad.... but that is ofcourse that Nukie-film influencing me.
But i am disapointed that Brad Didnt make a Beta Max VCR reference at 2:19.... not that i could think of any relevant reference... i just love feeling nostalgic when he mentions stuff from the 80ties i miss, that's all.
Reply to this
How many times do you usually end up watching a movie for a review? I can't imagine you get the script down right on the first go through.
Reply to this
With E.T week, you've provided some of your funniest stuff yet. "I wonder who the real aliens are?" haha. Nice Wild at heart reference too.
Reply to this
It must've been coincidential that you made a Bond joke the same day that the new Bond movie is being announced, but c'mon I really like that song!
Reply to this
I agree, that song is really good. That whole comment on that song kind of came out of nowhere. Are you just not a Chris Cornell fan?
Reply to this
For me, the actor isn't a problem, it's that he isn't playing James Bond, he seems like some completely different character.
Reply to this
Yeah, that Bond theme's a damn sight better than Die Another Day's theme.
Reply to this
I might agree with you except I'm the kind of guy who tends to like every Bond theme along with every Bond movie. I think the worst Bond theme yet is Another Way to Die. Hopefully the next Bond film Skyline (opening November 2012) will come up with something better.

This one's title card is the most frightening... And considering what has been seen this week, that's saying something

Is there a Turkish Alice in Wonderland?
I'm just asking because, with all the Turkish rip-off there are, it doesn't seem fair that there's no Turkish Alice in Wonderland. Hell, there's even a Jetlag Alice in Wonderland!
Besides, the books are in the public domain, so copyright shouldn't be a problem (not like Turtkey ever gave a shit about copyright laws to begin with).
According to Ed Glaser, the Turkish rip-off phenomenon lasted from the 50s to the 80s. Plenty of time for them to make an Alice in Wonderland rip-off.
Hey, at least it would be better than the Tim Burton version...
Reply to this
No, but there's Czechoslovakian Alice (1988). Now that's a movie every kid will enjoy.
Reply to this
You mean this!? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfmx5EG03oA That is FUCKIN' horrifing! I say the Snob should defenutly do a review of it!
Reply to this
I had a nagging feeling that I'd seen the Homoti costume before. @_@ and then it hit me. 790 from Lexx.

Directed by Turkish Chester Novell Turner?
Reply to this
I saw the Cannibal Holocaust joke coming a split second before the subtitle. Today was a good day.
Reply to this
Anyone else notice that he's referenced Peanuts characters in every video so far for ET week?
Reply to this
Loving this week, also the Ed Glasser cameos are great!
Reply to this
For your 200th episode: Turkish week.
Reply to this
Thank God this wasn't Nukie!
This movie actually seems like it'd be good if some one gave it a comedic dubbing! Or probely a real dubbing! IDK I have no freaking clue as to what they're really saying in some scenes like the FLYING FREAKING CARPET RIDE!!! You should've added in some Aladdin theme in there!
So, this movie even though it's newer than Badi Ed Glaser had or couldn't find any knowledge of or on this film!? This movie looked to have 3Xs the budget of Badi! The alien at least didn't look like a dwarf stuffed inside a hallowed out blowup love doll!
I was worried there for like a while that we were going to get a very unconvertible love scene between the old fat Turkish woman and Homoti! (Violent vomiting begins)
DAMN DAT @$$!!!
You know they really screwed up the movie when they broke the old rule never show or remind anybody of a better movie in your shittier movie!
So, you'd be pissed if you found out they were filming a shitty movie in your house!? So, what's that mean when they start shooting the Snob movie there!? OH, BURN!!!
The best thing about this Turkish ET knockoff? No annoying child characters!
You see even you admit each sitcom needs an annoying neighbor showing up!
So, Next is Ethree the Extra Testicle!?
Reply to this
So do to Homoti's creepily huge ass would this have been another horrible or an at least watchable ET porn!?
Reply to this
EThree should be up next!!!
Reply to this
"Turk" and "Turkmen" are two completely different ethnic groups. F-minus-minus, Ed.
Reply to this
So Brad, do you own these shitty movies beforehand, or pick them up specifically for reviewing?
Reply to this
hehehe. Loved the fact that Ed seemed like he was caught off guard by this one.
Reply to this
I can't believe you went the entire review without making the most obvious crack about the gay neighbor; he was so totally "Turkish Harvey Firestein"!
Reply to this
I would have liked a Too Close for Comfort/Jm J. Bullock reference.
Reply to this
I'm surprised the gay guy didn't get stoned.
Reply to this
This is 1980s Turkey, a member of NATO, not Iran.
Reply to this
Which fugly ET clone sofar is most likely to haunt your nightmares?
Reply to this
Oh, cool, co-starring Turkish Kurt Vonnegut!
Reply to this
Hey, I liked You Know My Name! That's a good theme song!
Reply to this
Dat ass!
Reply to this
It's like ET got horrifically burned and could only star in low-budget foreign movies. I feel kinda bad for him.
Reply to this
Hey, You Know My Name is awesome, one of the best James Bond themes!
Reply to this
lol not so fun when he makes fun of something you like, huh?
Reply to this
It still is =p
Reply to this
Homoti looks like E.T. after he found Steven Seagal's skin and stretched it over his body for a suite.
Reply to this
You out-Ed-Glasered Ed Glaser. I'm impressed....
But maybe you should have saved Nukie for last - you are getting clement after that one.
Reply to this
It's easy to do this for Homoti; nobody in the English-speaking world knows a damn thing about the movie except that:
It's the second Turkish E.T. ripoff.
It was shot on video.
That's it. I didn't know about this movie, and I know they made a Turkish "Young Frankenstein", a Turkish "Star Trek", Turkish "Wizard of Oz", Turkish "Superman", and a flick where Captain Turkish America and Turkish Santo fight an evil Turkish Spiderman!
Reply to this
When I saw "Makes Badi look like Citizen Kane" i bursted laughing like I haven't in several years!
Oh thank you!
Reply to this
Yay! "Homoti" and "Badi" are both "Citizen Cane" (misspelled on purpose) compared to the abortion that was "Nukie"! At least "Homoti" has helped me forget about "Nukie" for a while and helped my sanity to slightly recover from the THC-induced physical scarring that "Nukie" has left on my brain. Oh it's still there, good god is it still there, and it's never leaving my head ever! In fact it might be something that will pop up again on my death bed if I get alzheimer's or dementia. But at least "Homoti" has helped me to laugh again! Oh god did I miss laughter!
Reply to this
I love "You Know my Name"!
Reply to this
Someone should really work on writing some subtitles for these turkish ripoff movies... I wonder if there are no turkish movie fans interested in doing it...
Reply to this
Is it just a coincidence that a movie named "HOMOti" has a stereotypical gay character?
Reply to this
Aw well, at least the opening credits sequence for Casino Royale was fun to watch.
also bets on how many more Turkish ETs exist?
Reply to this
OMG LOL ROFL! this is too funny!, what was up with that lady making out with homoti?! she must be omnisexual. this was way funnier than badi. top marks on the review!
Reply to this
Sorry snob, this one makes Nukie look like Citizen Kane. Nukie had SOME semblance of being a film...
Reply to this
Is there a Turkish Back to the Future?
Reply to this
it's read HOMO. T. as in homo (gay) terrestrial.
Reply to this
In the last couple of months I've worked my way through all of the Cinema Snob reviews on this site and I have to say that this one is hands down my favourite (although The Geek comes in at a fairly close second). There's just something about the way the pace of the writing, the references to other films, the general tone of the humour and the delivery all intertwine that makes it really re-watchable for me. I think I must have seen it about 7 or 8 times now and I still find myself laughing out loud. Brilliant stuff!
