April 10: In 3D! — Write about a movie in 3D.
Also known as Gremloids, Hyperspace was the sixth and final 3-D film produced by the Owensby Studios in the 1980s (the others are Rottweiler: Dogs of Hell, Hot Heir, Chain Gang, Hit the Road Running and Tales of the Third Dimension in 3-D).
Just like Star Wars, Lord Buckethead (Robert Bloodworth) has come to Earth looking for Princess Serina and the stolen plans for his Galactic Alliance. He thinks that a woman that he’s seen, Karen (Paula Poundstone) is her and that a baker named Chester (R.C. Nanney) is Captain Starfighter. A man named Max (Alan Marx) falls for her and tries to rescue her from Buckethead and his Jawa-esque soldiers. The government is also trying to figure things out and brings in William Hopper, who is Hooper from Jaws played by Chris Elliot and if that makes you happy, this movie will make you beyond excited.
I love that a regional movie made in North Carolina has had such far reaching future impact on politics.
No, really.
Lord Buckethead — it was a man named Mike Lee — ran for Parliament in both the 1987 and 1992 general elections representing the Gremloid party and got 131 votes against Margaret Thatcher and 107 against John Major. Comedian Jonathan Harvey was the next Lord Buckethead in the 2017 general election. and by standing next to Prime Minister Theresa May, he went viral. He got the most votes, 249, but also drew the attention of this movie’s director and writer Todd Durham, who sued because Harvey was using his character,. Harvey became Lord Binface and David Hughes was now Lord Buckethead, running as part of the Monster Raving Looney Party, which was founded by musician Screaming Lord Sutch.

As for Durham, he created Hotel Transylvania and directed Tales of the Third Dimension in 3-D.
