Don't listen to gloombandit; he only wants to get his hands on your secret egg salad recipe.

O yeah :)

Very good times kicking back on a Saturday afternoon with Heavy Metal, a good pal & a beer each.

HomerSimpson: I'm a fan of Carpenter in general. Escape From New York, The Thing, The Fog, Prince of Darkness, Halloween, Assault on Precinct 13....I'll watch them any time I come across them. Not every movie he made was good. But there's no denying he made some good movies.

The Fog was on the other week... that was a late nite for me, with Adrienne Barbeau & some very sweet dreams :P


- Goddamm those Egg Salad thieves! Compulsory telephone directory lessons for everbody!

Yeah, Cronenberg built his reputation as a B-movie horror director in Canada. It was only until about Videodrome (and possibly Dead Ringers) that his reputation as "Cronenberg, Indie Psychodrama God" was started, name-checked alongside David Lynch whenever film students gather.

Are you kidding? Both parts were great!

One of my favourite things about "Prince of Darkness" is the way Donald Pleasence and Victor Wong seem to be having a "weird face competition" throughout the movie.

"I see your lazy eye and raise you a squinty eye!"

"A squint?!" says Donald Pleasance; "Pah! Take this thousand-yard stare!" lol

Postal it wasn't bad it was awesome

I humbly add into the mix a great forgotten gem...

Get Crazy

IMDB title tt0085551 (sorry, it says I can't post links yet).

If nothing else, because Electric Larry is awesome.

Encino Man

It gets a lot of hate as being another one of those 90s Pauly Shore movies, and a lot of people think its bad. Others think people only like it because of nostalgia people had as 90s kids or whatever.

I thought it was a really good movie though, really funny and I liked a lot of the humor in it along with the randomness. It was probably the only good acting performance Pauly Shore had outside of A Goofy Movie. Sean Astin and Brendan Fraser were good too in their roles, it was just a nice movie for what it was not taking itself too seriously.

And even after watching it again a few times in my 20s I still liked it as much as I did growing up, so its not just nostalgia at work here.
When was They Live ever a bad movie?

It features one of the best fight scenes ever to grace cinema, and with no special effects involved.

Also, I think I'll have to go with Moonwalker, that Michael Jackson movie.

Admittedly it wasn't a good movie at all, everything was just so disjointed and all over the place. The villain didn't make much sense at all, even if it was Joe Pesci.

But I'll be damned if I didn't think the music and dancing portions weren't entertaining, and some of the cheesy animated sections being so bad its good.

Well, to be honest, I don't feel that any of the movies I listed are 'bad' movies. If I like 'em, they ain't bad, right? But the movies I listed often elicit eye rolling and ridicule when I mention them to most people (if they've even heard of them), so that's why they made my list.

In the rare "Mae West" category, quoting as follows: "When I am Good, I am very Good. When I am Bad, I am Better."

Peter Jackson: Meet the Feebles.

An iconoclastic masterpiece that would make those LoTR characters swallow their highly commercialized clichés down the wrong throat.

Peter in my view is so wasted on those blockbusters - anyone can more or less direct that stuff but making this hilarious 18-rated puppet movie takes true originality to conceive. Look out for hilarious and politically incorrect Deer Hunter parody!

I am positively amazed this one ever got financed!!

Just had to add: imagine a drug dealing, cheat of a golf playing Scottish Warthog as a puppet... Or a Cow X-rated actress sitting on her considerably smaller co-star (crab or cockroach or such like... cannot remember), and the Rat of the director coolly maintaining a commercial opportunity: "Maybe we can sell this as a snuff movie."

Everytime I log on I think of another good one. Well, kind of, there is nothing good about this one; it's actually really sad to see B.B. King in this piece of shit...and Thomas Dolby...and Toni Basil.

Re Sergio Leone: I think he is truly a great director, take "For a Few Dollars More" or "Once Upon a Time in the West" - he tells poetry by images, where the drawn out, slow story telling and little visual jokes never become boring, just the right faces and those intense eyes in close shots never become uninteresting.

As to James Bond, I really quite enjoyed Skyfall precisely for the cheapness of the story plots - I suppose writing a plausible scenario would be just too difficult. But Skyfall was a bad movie, really. I do think they should change the actor of James Bond probably about every second movie to keep it fresh.

Rarely do I LOL in a movie screening, but one such moment was when the Head of M16 and the Though Local Man bloody flash the flashlight in the darkness, while fleeing a brilliant yet insane and mother-complexed terrorist cum several armed hunch-men. I mean: maybe it was time for this version of M to go, if she has lost it to this extent, eh???

Edit: woops, mixing up acronyms!

Leone is my favorite director.

(but his early sword-and-sandals do feel a bit weird)

By "james bond", I mean up to the reboots (which are more like bourne rip-offs). Bad bond movies, when they were still part of the series, still were charming and amusing. The craig films are just bland, and completely lack the specific little bond flavor that make the previous ones precious.

You have a very strange sense of humor, ha ha ha....
