3. Lucky you.

I'm stuck on the Discovery Channel, learning about the real St. Nicholas.
I've already paid homage to "The Christmas Story" (once is plenty), and the only thing that looked remotely promising was "Happy Gilmore." I think I'd rather put shards of glass in my eyes.

Let me know who wins, OK? (or is the title self-evident?) ;)

4. Yup, it is

Good prevails over Evil, etc. etc. etc.
And we all know that Critters From Other Planets are eee-villl. :scared:

This may be the worst movie ever made, "Plan 9" notwithstanding. It looks like it was shot on Super 8 and every single line sounds like it was read from a cue card 800 yards away.

That's why I love it. :7

5. YES! It is a brilliant movie.

Billy and Betty Foster are plucky all-American youngsters
:patriot:

I love the "climax" when they attack the martian with toys and
soap bubbles. ACTION! SUSPENSE!

6. Do you like bad Sci-Fi?

Or just bad movies in general?

7. Bad SF in particular

But also the teen propaganda films from the '30s, like "Reefer Madness," "Cocaine Fiends," "Assassin of Youth" and "Marihuana." (I have all those on DVD.) Those are all the more bizarre because they were intended to be serious.

I've also got a DVD of "Radar Men from the Moon," a segment of the old Commando Cody serial. And I love the original Flash Gordon.

I just love to laugh at unintended schlock.

8. Quirky...

..but I like it!

I collect all manner of Jesus kitsch. I have 2 bobblehead Jesi, a dashboard Jesus, etc... One of my latest acquisitions was a "Last Supper Lunchbox" which was way too tacky to pass up. I'm thinking of using it when I take communion to the shut-ins. :silly:
