It makes me want to go to Goblin State Park in Utah where the scene was filmed with the Rock Monster.
Then I love it later on when Kwan brings it on board to beat those enemy aliens soldiers then starts making out with the alien and doesn't care what she really looks like since he is so stoned!
LOL
Every scene is great except for the sad one you mention.
We love it when outer space heroes win.

I think it takes a pretty powerfully acted movie that's designated to be a sci-fi-comedy type of flick, and still be able to genuinely tug at our heartstrings. I for real did tear up when the alien died, and Alan Rickman, after years of hating having to say that very line, realized how much it meant to this alien, and as choked up as he was, he pulled up the courage to say, "By Grabthar's Hammer, you shall be avenged!" It took on this whole new meaning because it was real and it was emotional. I felt it. And Rickman's character felt it.
Alan Rickman is (was) such an exceptional actor. He conveyed so much with just his eyes, a glance, his facial expressions, a smirk, a rolling of his eyes or lifting of an eyebrow. All of that on top of the fantastic script.
Yes, yes, yes! I loved it when Tony Shalhoub fell in love with that alien actress "Jane Doe" and she started to morph while they were kissing and her tentacles were reaching up and behind him, and he just rolled his eyes in total excitement and then really got into kissing her! I especially liked it when he first got brought aboard the star base for the ship and everyone else is screaming and shivering, and Tony's character is totally mellow and walks over to the captain and calmly states, "What's wrong with them?"
Just like Rickman, they both have this really cool deadpan delivery. I consider the style to be akin to British humour because it's so similar, and I love it!
I'm not all that into sci-fi movies I'd say 90% of the time. Once in a great while, something will come along that grabs my attention, however. Generally speaking, sci-fi isn't one of my genres. (I'm waiting to get pelted with stones for this one, lol)

It is just a great concept all around.
A cast of a hit sci fi TV show is reduced to doing conventions and store openings and getting bored and burned out from it but they have to do it because a buck is a buck then get recruited by real aliens who think the show was real where it inspired them to become soldiers and crew and built a replica of the ship only this time it is a real one!
And then the cast goes into real outer space for real adventures.
Another part I like is when Tim becomes a real captain and tells everyone what to do and gets that kid to learn how to fly the ship and then he does to where he fights back hauling the magnetic mines.
And of course the GQ nerds back on earth who help them out like getting through those chomper things that had no purpose but to add to the adventure.

I really liked that part. There are so many parts that I thought were so special!
I felt really bad when Tim Allen's character (Jason) let his bruised ego get the best of him and was really nasty and cruel to his biggest fan Justin Long (Brandon). When Brandon gets hurt and "confesses" that he knows it's just a TV show, and then the total, uncontained excitement when he finds out it's actually real! I loved it! I think that's every sci-fi geek's dream. I liked how all of his friends had all the different levels of the ship on blueprints to help talk Jason and Gwen through all the passages.
Another funny part was when Brandon was leaving his house with all of those rockets and his mother asks him what he's doing, and he goes into this long-winded explanation of what the spaceship is doing having entered the earth's atmosphere at Mach-9 or whatever it was, ("and you know how dangerous that is!") and mom's response was just, "make sure you're home in time for dinner." Loved it!
I felt the pain of Mathesar being told that they were all just actors, lying about the "historical documents" and Sarris got such joy out of the pain that brought him. It was brutal. They did a good job of trying to imagine what would an alien do if they had to inhabit human-shaped bodies and learn how to move and speak.
How about when Jason is bending over flashing the aliens while he's looking for his shoes, and the aliens are talking about how being in his presence is their greatest honour! All this while staring at Jason's butt in his boxers lol

Yeah, that was cool how Jason bonded with Brandon after blowing him off from before.
Genius of him to know to call him for help!
Brandon with the fireworks and his parents…
I liked the line after he leaves when one says to the other, "Well, at least he's outside."
And before that when he was made to take out the trash only this time it was a real emergency!
And then of course the countdown for the self destruction has to go down to 1 second even though they stopped it seconds before!
LOL
How about when they were trying to tell the good aliens of how it was just a show.
Gwen says, "Surly you don't think Gilligan's Island is real."
"Oh those poor people," was the reply.
Yeah, the timing of saying it was an honor when he bends over was good!
Nice to see you also caught that.

Thanx!
GQ is one of the few movies I own where I love every moment in every scene.
I have some where I may find something disturbing but I got them anyway because I liked the majority of it or the story or the lines where I can overlook the thing that bothered me.
Not so with this one.
Love everything about it.
And how about Guy?
The extra expendable…um…guy that tagged along!
LOL

I loved Guy.
"What's my last name?!" lol
He's the red shirt who dies in the episode they're recreating.
Oh no, but wait, maybe he's the plucky comic relief!
They said that Sam Rockwell finds a way to dance in every movie he's in, but I don't remember him dancing in this one. Do you know where it was? Did he do it?

He didn't dance so you didn't miss anything.
You ever see him in Moon?
Another really good sci fi movie only with drama.
I don't think he danced in that one either.
