I watched it on Elvira because I was watching the new Elvira series. I watch plenty of trash on it's own as well. I love b-movies.

[Kathy]

Aren't b-movies and "trash" sort of different?

Different how? I watched B-Movies in the old fashion drive-ins (you could watch up to four movies in one night), what on earth is a trash movie then?

[Jimmy]

Trash are among the lower echelons of b-movies. I just love shitty movies like the Toxic Avenger, Street Trash, The Deadly Spawn, Basket Case, Bad Taste, Maximum Overdrive, Troll series, Ghoulies series, Zombi, Hotel Hell, Sleepaway Camp... etc.

[Kathy]

Jackson's "A Bad Taste" is trash for example. A low budget movie that is supposed to be repulsive. Usually a horror movie.
Something like "American Ninja" is a b-movie, but not trash.

Quote

I just love shitty movies like

They're trash, but not necessary shitty.

[Jimmy]

In my opinion, Lord of the Rings series and King Kong are Jackson's worst work.

EDIT: They're shitty, but in a good way.

[Kathy]

What LOTR and KK has got to do with anything?

[Jimmy]

You mentioned Jackson, and we were already talking about taste in movies, so I was just being a jerk and saying that Braindead is better than Fellowship of the Ring.

[Kathy]

Well, no shit. But I don't think they're comparable anyway.

Quote

That's why they are called "trash". Shitty is an evaluation. Trash can be shitty and not in a good way.

Btw, is your "shitty in a good way" the same as "so bad that it's good"? Cause for me, the latter phrase means that it's really shitty with the only redeeming value being is that it's so beyond shitty that's it's fun. And I don't consider "A Bad Taste" or "Zombi" as shitty in that respect.

You're reading way too much into this, Cathy.

[Hank]

So under which class is The Evil? (1978) Humour, Trash, B ???

[Jimmy]

Never seen it, but it just appears to be a B Horror Movie in line with Evil Dead.

After seeing that NUKEMDAVE Scares Children account on the newest member, how is it that someone who makes an account that obviously only has the intent to mock another member even gets validated in the first place? Isn't that why there is a validation thing?

[Hank]

@ CA - Ah, I don't remember the details either but there were some funny bits in it. Not quite trash, only B.

@ Jacket - Why not message one of the admins?

[Jimmy]

Because, seeing what boneheads do can cause hilarity.

[Lunick]

Someone make 'Micky C scares Lunick'

[Hank]

Yeah. Dead Micky C is scary. Considering a stinky lump of yellow annihilated him and he is now a vicious ghost hunting this forum seeking revenge. You are not the only one scared of Micky C.

[Lunick]

He was going to kill me not long ago. I wasn't a very good Shadow Warrior

[Hank]

Oh dear - run. You committed a cardinal sin. May the dark forces of Shadow Warriors have short legs.

[Micky C]

Yeah Micky C is a jerk. Thank god he doesn't hang around here anymore. He was arrogant and always thought polymer was the best thing since sliced bread, despite its many glaring flaws.
I'm a software mode mapper myself.

[Lunick]

He had sweaty armpits too.

[Hank]

@ The Big Cheese - being arrogant myself, I kinda liked Micky C

Yes, this is!

I needed to search for this.
It was made for TV? And to be on TV only once, this must have been bad.

The quote that sums up the Star Wars Holiday Special is "it's so bad that it actually comes around to good again, but passes it right up"

It was this awful idea from the 70's and should have been wiped out of existence but the Internet didn't let it happen. Thanks to file sharing and bootleggers, you too could possess a copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special.

[Kathy]

No proper release of theatrical cuts of 4-6 episodes is a way worse offence than Holiday Special ever will be. Especially considering all the changes that were made over these past years.

[Master Fibbles]

Well, one was a last breath of the 70s variety holiday show done with kind of permission of Lucas. The other was just Lucas being a douche.

So I find out that there's going to be a Comic Con in my town in Australia, and Richard Dean Anderson and William Shatner are going to be there. Being huge Stargate and Star Trek fans, I got all excited about being able to go down there, be in the same room with them, and maybe get an autograph and/or photograph.

Then I look up the prices, and 1 autograph is $50 It's probably 5 seconds worth of work. Seriously? They can't be a little bit reasonable? I mean I would have thought $10 is starting to push it.
So ultimately to get into the event and get photographs and autographs from both of them, it would cost $280, plus having the day ruined due to waiting in long queues. So I've decided not to go and am really disheartened now.

It's probably worth like $500 on ebay?
