As you know, I was as giddy as a schoolgirl to get your take on this movie. And you didn't disappoint.
"To all the hardcore KISS fans out there, you're gonna have to forgive me. I only have a basic knowledge of KISS in terms of members and songs." - Tragic. You are forgiven.
"This obviously was made for the KISS Army back in the '70's. So I'm sure the fans "got" this movie and understood some parts of it." - Eh, maybe. I think this was some aging TV exec's idea of what a 14-year-old KISS fan wanted. It's probably safer to think of this the same way "Star Wars" fans think of the "Star Wars Christmas Special."
"...talking to head of security Sneed (Wasn't there a Sneed in "Peter Pan" and "Hook"?)" - Close. You're thinking of Smee.
"I do wanna see KISS live in concert, I'm sure it's a fun time." - You have no idea. A lot of people look down their noses at KISS cuz they're not top shelf artists, but I'm hard-pressed to think of a show that's more fun.
"KISS's acting leaves something to be desired" - True. In their defense, they were all first-time actors who found the "hurry up and wait" nature of film production to be frustrating. And at least one or two of them were actively rebelling against the whole idea throughout the filming.
I'm not going to call out every line I thought was really funny, cuz this might be one of your funniest reviews. Standouts include humping the robotic monkey, Phantom of the Parking Lot, the power of Kool-Aid Man, Chewbacca, no! and the second pic that didn't require a caption. Great review!

Sorry for this otherwise out-of-context comment.
