Johnny put the helmet on. It fit, but was stuffy and heavy. He walked around his room talking in the procured echo chamber he had around his head.
He knew there would be a sequel. It was, in his opinion, the greatest film of all time. Forget what the others said. They did not know. They had not studied and realized, as he did, the significance to this movie.
“The Great Guidance” was becoming worried. He had released the dinosaurs and humans had returned. Now, this child, was stirring up trouble. He scratched his helmet and returned to his cave.

Funny stuff! I, too, wasn’t familiar with the movie but the link was really helpful. I love super-awful movies…there’s a weird charm to them.

Most of the time, I agree. Every once in a while, a movie is awful and bad…

That sounds like a real winner of a film! Oops, it was all a dream in the end. What a cope out! Great take. I enjoyed your story.

I truly dislike movies that are dreams in the end. It is a cop out; you are right.

Good story. Some of those old films were so bad they became famous for it like that one. Well written. 🙂

OK, it makes sense once I read the information in the link. I like that he scratched his helmet.
I don’t think, though, that “procured” is the word you want here: ” he had procured around his head.” He didn’t buy it around his head. I think you want something that means he’d put it on his head, right, such as “placed over his head?” If you want to say he bought it, you need to rearrange that sentence.
