...Nice Duck." He waxes philosophic: "No duck is an island." When the filmmakers grow tired of fowl puns -- about an hour after the audience does -- they switch to space opera, and Howard battles a scientist (Jeffrey Jones, funny against all odds) whose body is invaded by a giant lobster-scorpion space troll. Moviegoers who are in search of a porno Zoo Parade may enjoy the bedroom tryst in which Howard's human sweetie (Lea Thompson) discovers a condom in his wallet, snuggles up and asks, "You think I might find love in the animal kingdom?"

Right around the corner is The Hong Kong (1236 Mass. Ave), Harvard's little touch of Trader Vic's, the famous Polynesian restaurant. You should proceed immediately up the stairs, past the off-duty cops and the bouncers and dive into one of the Kong's famous Scorpion bowls.
