Topic: Coneheads (movie)


In the News (Sat 18 May 13)

  
  'Coneheads'
For the rest of the movie, Beldar, Prymaat and their soon-to-be-Earthborn daughter, Connie (newcomer Michelle Burke), will be pursued by xenophobic INS agents Gorman Seedling (Michael McKean) and Eli Turnbull (David Spade).
The movie's main joke is its rapid-fire Conespeak, which puts a distinctly alien-meets-"Dragnet" spin on regular human activity.
The movie's full of supporting parts and cameos from familiar television faces, including Michael Richards and Jason Alexander from the "Seinfeld" show (both very funny); and SNL regulars Phil Hartman, Kevin Nealon, Julia Sweeney, Adam Sandler and Tim Meadows.

 dOc DVD Review: Coneheads (1993) - Printable   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The Coneheads, alien beings stuck in middle-class America, were funny simply by existing as strangers in a strange land.
The Coneheads and their (by now) teenage daughter (Michelle Burke) must keep one step ahead of the Federal agents (and all the while continue to have funny, alien misunderstandings).
True, most of it is the usual front-heavy comedy mix, but during the space battle scenes and the two "action" scenes, the surrounds kick in a bit with ambient noise and crowd reaction.

 Coneheads DVD at Video Universe
The movie is based on a series of comedy sketches which originally aired on "Saturday Night Live" during the 1976-1977 season.
The basic premise of the plot revolves around the Conehead family, newly landed on Earth from the planet Remulak, who find themselves trying to dodge two Immigration and Naturalization officers.
Hounded by the immigration authorities, the Coneheads continue to pursue the American dream, raising their teenaged daughter "Connie" in their suburban home and on weekends barbecuing mass quantities of animal protein in the back yard.

 1/16/02: Lost Issue David Newman Part 2
Unfortunately, sometimes a movie you start is pretty good at the beginning, it's very singular and has a certain point of view.
There is a very nice cue in that movie, where one of the characters goes back in time and is actually able to hit a home run, when before he could not and it changes his whole life.
I thought it would be appropriate to have a whistler throughout the score, because the two characters were kind of dancing through the whole movie with their baby and nothing seemed to faze them.

 DVD Booty - Coneheads   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The movie Coneheads don't continually freak out unsuspecting visitors or do anything of that sort, which is what they always did TV.
Also, I think the higher budget of the movie and its elaborate storyline took away a lot of the goofiness that made the original Coneheads so great to watch.
I had this movie on video and I plan on buying this movie on DVD and I definitely recommended this movie to SNL fans.

 DVD Verdict Review - Coneheads
There was an absurdity about the Coneheads and the sense that the SNL writers were turning a mirror onto American life and the things we always took for granted.
The movie is so afraid to offend anyone or anything that a fog of blandness hangs over the entire proceedings.
It's good to know that crappy movies and great movies alike are treated with the same lack of regard in their corporate eyes.

 TV ACRES: Directory of Aliens - Coneheads (Saturday Night Live)
The Coneheads consisted of two parental units, Beldar (Dan Aykroyd) and Prymaat (Jane Curtin) and a teenage unit named Connie, a.k.a.
Originally, Beldar and Prymaat were dispatched to the planet Earth by Remulak's High Master to seize all major centers of radio and television communications and inform the earthlings of their intent to take over the planet.
They referred to humans as "Blunt Skulls." Their favorite meal consisted of six packs of beer, potato chips and shredded raw animal flesh, of which they consumed "mass quantities." Sexual foreplay for Remulakan's was accomplished with the help of large plastic rings covered with fur.

Coneheads begins with two aliens, Beldar (Dan Akroyd) and his wife Prymaat (Jane Curtin), crashing their spaceship on Earth.
This is, essentially, a silly movie, so I guess such quibbles don't really matter.
Coneheads got some really bad reviews when it first came out, which makes me wonder why these movie reviewers are so crotchety they can't appreciate a good laugh.

"Coneheads" begins with Beldar (Dan Aykroyd) and Prymaat (Jane Curtin) leaving their home planet, Remulak, to pave the way for an interstellar invasion of Earth — but instead find themselves stranded and decide to blend in.
The Coneheads move to New York City, where Beldar becomes a cabbie.
"Coneheads" is rated PG for doubletalk double-entendres, some mildly vulgar dialogue, a single profanity and a brief locker room nude scene, revealing the unique backside of a Remulakian.

In Hollywood's latest attempt to pull big box office bucks out of the tube, Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin are dusting off their phallic foreheads, polishing up on their literal-minded techno-speak, and reprising their popular Saturday Night Live roles for the big-screen version of Coneheads.
The comedy currently in production on Paramount's Los Angeles lot and expected to hit multiplexes in mass quantities this July) continues the awkward assimilation of Beldar and his wife Prymaat into the American 'burbs.
