In the tradition of Mystery Science Theater 3000, except you can't tell which ones are the robots. — David Manning
Cinema is our culture's dominant art form.
It holds up a mirror to who we are.
It reflects our society, our dreams, our hopes, our fears.
Our films are how future generations are going to judge us.
Unfortunately, most of them suck.
Seriously, though—ever notice how you can't walk down the street or open a magazine or stand in line at a store or simply exist without ads for some dumbass multi-zillion dollar movie about a talking kangaroo
being shoved down your throat?
And then they expect you to pay fifteen dollars to see it in some googolplex, and after sitting through a half hour of commercials? Or watch it on DVD and have to sit through even more commercials and anti-piracy ads that you can't skip past? Doesn't it all just piss you off?
If so—or if you just like to have a good time—then Bad Movie Night is for you.
Laugh with the hosts riffing on the movie. Yell your own comments. Try to figure out what the hell "Skull Films!" means. Help yourself to the free popcorn. Enjoy the non-alcoholic beverage of your choice purchased from the store across the street. (Don't worry if the guy behind the counter glares at you. He does that to everyone.)
If you read the intertubes, you know he's supposed to be, like, the worst director of all time. He's not, because Hal P. Warren once existed. If you went back in time and killed Warren with a shovel, then maybe Boll might conceivably be the worst director. But you aren't going to, so he isn't.
But Boll ain't a good director, and the movies that he makes are very bad indeed. Indeed, this week's feature is the one that really introduced him to American audiences.
What makes him so much fun to hate is that he gives as good as he gets, like challenging his critics to boxing matches:
So that's kinda cool, we'll grant him that. It doesn't change the fact that his movies are shit, though.
But watching shitty movies is what we're all about.
Your
hosts Sherilyn Connelly, Ira Emsig and birthday boy Tristan Buckner have lousy left jabs, but great snark.
Upcoming Phlegms:
September 5, 2010
Jaws: The Revenge
Back in the Eighties, Michael Caine never said "no" to a script, which is why he was out of the country filming this when he won the Academy Award for Hannah and Her Sisters. Seriously.
Great white wackiness ensues.

Sherilyn Connelly, Mike Spiegelman, Tim Kay and other sphyrna zygaena.

October 17, 2010
