I'll watch and rewatch just about any old biker film, can't help myself. The Glory Stompers, Born Losers, Wild Angels, Hell's Angels on Wheels, Hell's Belles, The Hard Ride. Terrible stuff...

Well Keanu does it again in John Wick. The script does not require more than a couple lines and expressions here and again. The body count is the thing. I'm getting on, so I lost count. One does have to love the concept of revenge for a stolen car and a dead dog driving 101 minutes. I just kept wishing he would wash his hair and shave his shtty beard.

I must bend like a reed in the wind...

David Lynch's "Dune". Why yes, that is indeed Sting fighting Agent Cooper while Captain Picard observes.

I like just about any old Akira Kurosawa film. I don't think they would qualify as bad, but definitely old and dated. Rashomon, Yojimbo, Seven Samurai, they're all good. I think I must have been Japanese in an earlier life...

Most critics consider these films masterpieces, so I don't think you can call them "bad."

The worst movie I have seen in the past few years.that I liked was the big bus. It was pretty bad in every way, but it was funny.

Now THAT is a good bad movie! Especially that 4 hour version with the really overdone narration and absurdly bad stills.

He who controls the spice controls the universe!

(The books are bad too, but not in a fun way)

In keeping with the Keanu Reeves theory (which I generally support) has anyone mentioned Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure yet? With bonus George Carlin as Rufus included...

I think that's the one Zappa talks about in the intro to "Cheapnis". He describes the monster as sort of an inverted ice cream cone with fangs around the bottom. Apparently you can see a bit of 2 x 4 attatched to the monster that was used to move it in and out of the scene. Of course in the song, Frank invents his own monster - a giant poodle.

It was probably already said, but without a doubt I submit the following:

sorry for the revival, but..........

Point Break remake is about to break.
It has no chance to be as bad as the original.
Keanu is out, and the Dirty Dancer is unavailable.
I'll wait a few years when nothing else is on late at night and I can't sleep.
I hope to enjoy the moment.
The trailers don't offer much hope.
