Well, Albert. I say we eat the girl, instead.

This one's even better:

It's from a really creepy 50s B-movie.

Ever seen Eliminators ('86 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091003/ ) ? That's much like it. http://www.badmovies.org/movies/eliminators/eliminators1.jpg

Kirk: "How close will we come to the closest Klingon outpost if we continue on our present course."

Chekov: "One parsec sir. Close enough to smell them."

Spock: "That is illogical, ensign. Oders cannot travel through the vacuum of space."

Mod parent up. Not even Arnold could save Ice VI.

Because we want to live in a fantasy world. Look, we've done Western, we've done modern, we've done World War II. Now all we have left is Fantasy or Science Fiction. While we may be far from faster than light travel, or building our own gravity in space ships, we are certainly more likely to live out the Science Fiction life style than Fantasy. We have no elves, trolls, orc, hobbits, or dragons (WHERE ARE ALL THE DRAGONS?!). So colonizing the moon will get us oh so closer to Cat-Women of the Moon.

I own the DVD because it is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Truly memorable, educational, and completely bizarre. Before we had documentary parodies like Best of Show, there were real documentaries that were even better.

Must see:
Little girl playing with toads like Barbie dolls
Man killing cane toads. Multiply by the thousands now + camo for army effect.

I prefer this one:

Unfortunately, PETA stepped in and protested.

Also, there is Dead Alive which, despite the URL in the link, I really liked. Incidently, and a bit OT, but the movie art looks like the inspiration for the goatse image.

Ah, but it will only be a matter of time before the anti-Nuke people will rear their ugly heads

I wouldn't say any . And I think astroturfing and paid reviews are pretty obvious to even the moderately savvy.

And what if this thing found it's way into your bed one night and starts munching on your toes? Great, now I'm going to have nightmares about being eaten alive by robot cockroaches.

I guess that's better than Girl-eating Robot Dolls

Look here and the ones marked with a skull are really really really bad!

Which was reviewed here?

Most major pictures never come close to worst movie ever. I've seen a lot of the "Bottom 100" and would easily throw a movie like Cool As Ice in the dvd player. Others like Battlefield Earth or House of the Dead, I wouldn't waste my time, while bad they're not the worst.

At least start with something as bad as Barn of the Blood Llama and get worse from there. http://www.badmovies.org/movies/bloodllama/index.h tml

Yes, this review did make me what to see it too.

I have made it a long term goal of mine to find the worst movie ever made...and I have quite a collection. If you are new to the 'genre' of crappy movies I would recommend that you check out http://badmovies.org/ for a pretty nice synopsis of some of the real stinkers out there.

In my personal opinion, The Crippled Masters, a kung-fu movie staring two parapeligics takes the cake, just barely beating out Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter (need I say more?)

Obviously this question is all about personal opinion, but if you are just looking for really bad films I would also check out Them Damn Zombies, Pirahna 2 (the spawning), and Troll 2.

Can you picture it? It's called Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive. Off topic but hey, it's kinda funny.

Gaaaaaah! Only Godzilla has the power to fight this menace!

The Smog Monster was no match for him. We can only hope he escapes Monster Island in time to save the day!

I think they all have Bad Taste.

The Lift is a Dutch movie about a thinking lift. It's quite old and seems to be badly duped in the states. See the Reviews here, here and here. It has been quite some while i've seen it (the native version) and i thougt it was scary than. probably was 1988 then ...

> How do you feel about the compulsory body searches, helicopter gunships (that "can lethally disrupt any action on the ground"), Hercules patrols with submachine guns and snipers?

I just heard they are sealing the manhole covers shut for New Year's Eve.
*sigh* At least we'll all be safe from C.H.U.D.

I can't wait for the Peter Jackson collection.

It will include the LOTR trilogy, and Peter Jackson's greatest film, Bad Taste!

Since we're talking about Bad Science in movies,
why isn't
Story of Ricky at all mentioned. If there's a movie
with bad science ideas, Story of Ricky is it.
Nevertheless, it is a great movie to watch.

Computers will think for me, robots will do for me.

I'm just gonna pig out, take drugs and fuck my Cherry 2000

"Ah yes, Plan 9 deals with the resurrection of the dead. Long distance electrodes shot into the pineal pituitary glands of recent dead."

could also be...

"Ah yes, Plan 9 deals with the resurrection of a nearly dead computer company. Long distance electrodes shot into the TCP/IP ports of the recently dead SCO Unix."

enjoy some plan 9 sounds...

• Blondes are dumb and over-emotional.
  
• Wearing glasses means you're a dorky nerd. But at least you're smart. (SuperNerds get spiral glasses and a whiny voice)
  
• One member of every homosexual couple is a cross-dressing transexual.
  
• Men are most attracted to young girls in school uniforms.
  
• Girls are most attracted to wealthy men (who can afford tuxedos... can you say "enjo kosai"?).
  

Looks conspicuously like the watermelon monster from Dunken Wu Tang Masters ... probably this PC is some evil Wu Tang plot.

>thought we'll be seeing a lot of older stuff that's hard to find like the good and not-so good horror movies from the late 60's,the 70's and early 80's like you could find on VHS.

Go to WalMart. Seriously. Their DVDs are $5.99 CDN here, and they have the "crappiest" crap you've ever seen. My favs I saw that I got for my collection are:

- Flying Guillotine
- Abraxas
- Naked Space
- Death Race 2000 (everyone should be forced to watch that movie once!)

Just to name a few. There's way more on the shelves there. Just look for the "crappy" movies everyone is avoiding. :-) Now, if only they had Manos, Hands of Fate or Plan 9 from Outer Space there... I'd even take a copy of Freakshow, which is, without a doubt, including student projects, the worst movie ever filmed in my town. It's the only bad movie I only watched half of (and people who know me know that says a lot). I guess watching a guy chase a dog with a bag of crack cocaine in its mouth for 15 minutes tired me.

Here's a personal reccomendation if you want cheesy movies on DVD: cybernator. A single viewing and your eyes will burn out faster than watching Trucks, Maximum Overdrive, and The Car on constant repeat(on DVD, of course).

"My friends, can your hearts stand the shocking facts about grave robbers from outer space?"

"Ah yes, Plan 9 deals with the resurrection of the dead. Long distance electrodes shot into the pineal pituitary glands of recent dead."

"Sometimes in the night when it does get a little lonely I reach over and touch it, then it doesn't seem so lonely anymore."

"Because all you of Earth are idiots!"

They were inspired by watching CHUD

They could have found C.H.U.D. down there.... no wait that was NYC.

One other thing that I'd REALLY like to see codified into law is that copyright isn't really about copying...

Realistically, the fair use doctrine and "first sale" and so on, IN NO WAY are intended to restrict copying - what they are intended to restrict is distribution .

"Fair Use" says if I legally purchase a book, I can take the photocopier that's in my study and make 20 copies if I want. I can make enlarged copies. I can transcribe it in medieval calligraphy with gold leaf and illumination. I can translate it into Spanish, Latin, Esperanto, and "Elvish" if I want.

Where the law is SUPPOSED to step in is if I attempt to give away or sell those copies without permission. That's distribution , not copying.

This even applies to things like rental videos, I believe - if I rent Orgazmo from the local video place, for example, I've basically (as I understand it) "temporarily purchased" the video. If my big-screen TV only has a DVD/VCD player hooked up to it, I believe I can legally (theoretically) make VCD's out of the VHS tape I've rented to watch on the DVD player FOR THE DURATION OF THE LEGAL RENTAL - after which I must destroy the VCD's (at a whopping $0.80 or so for the two CD-R's, it doesn't add much to the cost of the rental). If I don't, I've effectively " distributed illegally to myself ", as I no longer have "license" to use the material from the video tape (unless I purchase it).

I think a simple find-and-replace of "copy" with "distribution" in the laws would go a LONG way to fixing the mess that is "copyright"...I don't feel very "harmed" by not being allowed to sell or give away all the copies of "Steamboat Willy" I want, but I do feel harmed by the threat of going to jail if I transcode a legally purchased dvd of the cartoon to a DivX/Vorbis Ogg file to watch on my laptop computer. (That I am not allowed to create derivative works or make copies of "Steamboat Willy" after 80 years IS excessively restrictive still, but is less urgent to address, I think.)

Story of Ricky might do well here.

I saw that film in my humanities class on Australia. The name is Cane Toads: An Unnatural History. I absolutly loved that movie, it was bloody hilarious :)

If you like crass puppets, you definitely should check out Meet the Feebles by Peter Jackson (yes, that Peter Jackson). The Feebles are the Muppets on drugs.

I can remember a few specific movies that still get my heart pounding though:

• Prophecy - Even though I grew up in the "woods", it scares me at night - throw in a giant man-eating mutant bear and I shit a brick.
• Alien - but not the sequels.
• Halloween - but not the sequels.
• Jeepers Creepers - A lightweight scare... but it's a recent movie at least.

Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death, sound clips, video, list of highlights (including gratuitous breast shot).

for your time wasting pleasure.

There's some very emotive cars in this movie, and an image here.

I know this story is just /.'s interpretation of an April Fool's joke, but I thought I'd add my 2 cents anyhow.

clunk, clunk

There you go.

Why? Because the Sheeple(TM) of the world think that it is better to limit speech rather than deal with the fact that some people are simply evil and there is no single cause for or solution to the problem.

Someday, once we've restricted all of these nasty things like "freedom" and "knowledge," we'll all be like the "Good Folk" in A Boy and His Dog. Then the world will be a better place. You'll see!

That reminds me, I saw a few people walk out of FIght Club when I went to see it in the theater. It was during the scene where Brad Pitt was letting himself get beat up by "Lou". There was blood everywhere, and then you see some guy puke into a trash barrel, apparently in disgust at the sight of all that blood. At that point, a teenage girl in the seat next to me simply got up and walked out. She was sitting out in the lobby, waiting for her friends, after the movie was over. She did not look happy.

"Party's over!" (Hee, hee!)

How true...and it's a shame that Raquel Welch was never fully credited with her pioneering effort in the open source movement since Barbarella did not accurately predict this naming convention.
