Okay, somebody tell me what "Motel Hell" is doing on AMC!!!

I thought AMC stood for American Movie Classics! Am I to believe that Motel Hell is a CLASSIC?

2. AMC Has Gone To Crap....

I remember when they were giving TCM a run for their money... but they just gave up and started showing CRAP and interrupting that CRAP with COMMERCIALS!!

6. Yeah, the commercials are too much.

They want people to think they are showing great films, like they are purists or something, and then they interrupt with commercials. Are the movies even uncut?

4. AMC isn't what it used to be

they show movies that are more recent and far from "classics". TCM is much better,IMHO. Right now they're showing "Bringing Up Baby". I'm switching back and forth between that and the Red Sox/Mariners....but I may have to check out Bill Maher/Arianna Huffington on HBO now.

5. AMC used to be one of my favorite movie channels,

but they have changed their format to attract a "more diverse" audience, i.e., younger viewers.

My new favorite channel in TCM Turner Classic Movies, right now I am watching "Bringing Up Baby". I just love the Cary Grant and Kate Hepburn movies. Everytime I see it I laugh out loud, and I have seen it many times!

7. I know AMC had gone to hell...

But Motel Hell is still one of my favorite lost "classic" horror films. I still remember seeing it at the drive-in with "Fear No Evil".

Remember, "Parts is parts."

8. At least it's a CULT classic.

Kinda like Rocky Horror ... or not.
