I like watching bad movies

[azhure]

The husband and I watched Bloodrayne last night.

My first response - dude, where’s the Nazis?

And second response - did Kristanna Loken ever change her expression from the slack-jawed stunned mullet expression she’s wearing in this photo?  I expect someone thought it looked vaguely feral and hot.  Wrong!  It just looks…well, stupid.

That said, I take perverse pleasure in watching bad movies and mocking them.  I expect that I sometimes enjoy watching bad movies more than I enjoy good ones.  And if I’m honest, I tend to mock even good movies.  I can’t help it.  It’s a sickness.

I really liked the game Bloodrayne.  But the movie?  Uwe Boll cannot direct action (or much else) to save his life, the costuming was hideous, the fighting was laughable and the weapons looked like they were cut from sheet metal.  C’mon, it’s not that difficult to make something look hand forged!

What scares me more is that they made a sequel.

What should scare you more than that...

I am truly frightened.

See there's bad movies... and then there's movies that are so bad they are good :)

Ah, yes, I miss mocking movies. I barely get to see any to mock anymore. :(

Mmmm ... bad movies...

Of course the worst offenders are the ones with a decent - or even big - budget. Eragon, ID4, and others leap to my mind.

Bloodrayne has earned itself an iRiff soundtrack, which is a good sign for people like you and I.

For myself, it's Aeon Flux tonight. With Mike Nelson and pals helping us through the pain. :)

I have been known to go all MST3K while watching a bad (or not-so-bad) movie. It's just fun to make fun!

Blood Rayne was pretty shocking i seem to remember. I only just managed to watch all the way through with the faint hope it would get better !

If there is one thing I have learned, it is this:

"There is no technical problem so great that it cannot be fixed with ten gallons of gasoline and a pack of matches."

Unfortunately, that doesn't apply to movies, so on to the second thing I have learned:

"There is no movie so bad that you can't watch it with ten gallons of Foster's* and a pack of friends."


Enjoy!

Guh...even the sex scene in that movie was scary! (scary because of the terribad acting, not because of actual scary reasons).

Mr. Brienze says that the sequel is a Western, and it's unwatchably bad, rather than funny-bad like the first.

What is even worse is the fact that Uwe Boll thinks he is some genius director who deserves an Oscar . . . just listen to some of his commentaries and interviews. It is hilarious and especially when you watch any of his movies and see how awful they are yet he is able to attract some big name stars to act in them(basically pick up a paycheck and their acting reflects it).

It is really sad!

Uwe Boll has gone too far this time.
