The Anti-Academy Nominations
Posted on: 02/03/2010 13:42
I could blame the 5 days of unrelenting pain, but honestly I have always preferred the Razzies to the Oscars.
And this year's infamous nominees are.....

LB - although nothing can compare to Plan 9 from Outer Space
My friend, we cannot keep this a secret any longer. Let us punish the guilty. Let us reward the innocent. Plan 9 (the Original)

I found it funny that Sandra Bullock is up for a Razzie for one movie and an Oscar for another.

My friend -who's taste is all in her mouth, God love her - wanted us to go see "Old Dogs" together. Thank goodness I talked her into New Moon instead.

There is something to be said about truly bad movies. Not just mediocre but truly wonderfully bad that makes you want to eat heart clogging butter soaked popcorn and drink a large soda with those little tiny ice cubes rattling about while you suck on the straw.
I once tried to watch all of TVOs Top Ten Bad Movies. There were a number by Ed Woods, that premier director of awesomely bad movies, with number 1 being his classic Plan 9 from Outer Space and the way ahead of his time pseudo documentary Glen or Glenda. There was the red soaked Attack of the Killer Tomatoes complete with the horrors of 1970's bell bottomed pants and wide lapels. Classics every one.
And I loved them all but confess I could not get through The Terror of Tiny Town. I think Wikipedia describes it best It is the world's only musical Western with an all-midget cast.
There was so much to love, including Shetland ponies, but I couldn't bear to listen to the helium like dialogue. I blame it on the poor sound quality.
They just don't make movies like that anymore

Seems to me that I smell something that should be buried - Terror of Tiny Town

I would like to see a new set

I would like to see a new set of awards given out . The "WITHOUT AWARDS" award. You could win an award for Best Movie WITHOUT Special Effects or Best Movie WITHOUT Guns & Ammo. Best Movie WITHOUT a Cartoon as Its Genesis. Moviegoers could search out the movies with the most WITHOUTS. For instance, one could search out the best movie without special effects, guns & ammo or a cartoon as its inspiration. Say, Casablanca (or a movie like Casablanca). I mean what is the use of the Razzies anyway. It is not as if it saves you from spending money to see the movie because by the time the award is given the movie has already reached the 99 cent bin at the Blockbuster anyway. The Oscars on the other hand just reinforce what the advertising and marketing bumpf has already been saying anyway. Why not provide an award that provides the discerning moviegoer information they can really use.

Oh my gosh I can't believe how true that is. People who watch "The TIme Traveler's WIfe will never want to read the book. The book is brilliant.
First Wive's Club was good too, but the movie was horrible fluff and missing a whole secondary string of characters.

The worst movie I have seen in years is Inglorious Basterds. It's an insult to WWII veterans from both sides and a step down from Hogan's Heroes.

We love old B movies and the horrendously bad movies. They can range for zombies to We have been known to turn the volume off and make up dialogue. Our favourite to do so are a certain genre that shall remain unnamed.... oh that and karate movies.
Kiss Me Quick had a great plot LMAO. A mad scientists makes artificial bimbos for an alien.
How about Latitude Zero? What can be better than a mad scientist played by Cesar Romero putting a human brain in a lion and grafting wings onto it in an underwater world?
You cannot make this stuff up.... but someone did.

Heh, Stevie your post took me
Posted on: 02/13/2010 07:10
Heh, Stevie your post took me back - way back to the dawn of television in Muskoka. We only received one station, CKVR out of Barrie; it still exists but now its called A station, reduced to one letter it has lost for me its mystique but so has most television.
I was a night owl back then and late Saturday nights CKVR ran old movies - not classic movies - old B movies and serials. There were Charlie Chan movies and all those wacky horror movies from Hammer Studios with Vincent Price and Peter Cushing. Later, on trips to The City, a bunch of us would lap up City TVs (in its infancy) Asian imports with the bad English dubbing.
Then came Mystery Science Theater 3000 and it was as if we had all entered the graduate school of schlock.
Ah, memories.
