i decided this was the case after seeing _starship troopers_, which is similar in that it is nominally 'bad' (wooden acting, lame dialogue, etc.) but, like _showgirls_, looks amazing, is well-edited, and is absolutely, completely entertaining.

There was an article in the Stooges issue of Arthur magazine that talked about the hidden genius in Starship Troopers, a movie that seems to have very little in common with the book it was adapted from.

everyone MUST go to ebay and get "drunken wu-tang" now. it's an kung fu movie but so much more. they fight the devil, a robot called "the watermelon monster", a guy in a penis costume, and a bong smoking grandmother. also at one point a corpse comes back to life to grab a girls ass. classic

Some fine examples:

"Red Dawn"

"Black Dog"

"Dawn of the Dead"

"Mallrats"

"The Re-Animator"

Breaker Breaker starring Chuck Norris.

How can you beat a premise combining truck driving ala "Convoy" and kung fu. You just can't.

As a bonus it has one of the coolest soundtracks ever, sort of a C.W. McCall/Red Sovine meets dueling banjos as interpreted by Ry Cooders brother.

the last dragon. i mean for real...how can you shit fuck?

One movie over all others....

THE FORBIDDEN ZONE!

Insanity.

Star Trek remade by the Turks. Skewer some lamb and fire this one up some night.

Some commentary:

"The female personnel are forced to wear miniskirts that end four inches above the bottom of their asses, and when they turn around to work on the spray-painted cardboard computers, they have no secrets. I’m sure this leads to situations where the navigator loses his concentration and says, 'Miss Uhura, we are crotching a course for the panties sector, coordinates your whole ass hanging out. Repeat: panties, panties, panties.'"

So bad it's good?

#1 is (any) of the ILSA movies
(she wolf of the ss, harem keeper of the oil sheiks, etc)

Final Destination 2 was pretty funny. If you don't like the movie, you should like the gore, it's pretty bloody.

and, of course,
ALL of the Planet of the Apes. I can watch those over and over.

I really really really don't like Jennifer Lopez.

oh, and Jennifer Love Hewitt also.

They both give me the mega douche chills.

Yes, this a very good bad movie. I'd describe it as The Muppets with syphilis.
