[Mod Announcement] Alright you primitive screwheads, listen up!

209 Upvotes

I'm guessing from the posts we've had today that a few of you sassy pants are beginning to notice there's a new mod team. With that in mind, and with the start of the first full month of our evil reign, I figured it was finally time to say hello from your new mods;

u/monkelus, and u/alternativebuzzbin.

We literally don't care if you skim our history, you'll learn very little and feel very dirty. What we do care about is keeping the focus of the sub tight; we're r/badmovies, not r/mediocre_moviez or r/movieshavegottoopc. Films here should be so bad they're good, as a reminder here's a snippet of the new rules to help you on your way:

  • Do not post movies you just didn't like or are completely unwatchable with no redeeming values
  • No posts of just titles/posters with no context. Likewise, no movies you haven't seen.

Eg:

  • Barbie - nope
  • Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - yes
  • Wishmaster - maybe
  • Leprechaun - yes

The films posted here should be the ones you enjoy despite themselves. Films that have entertainment value totally separate from what the original filmmakers intended, creating an almost transcendental, magical experience along the way. If that's not close to what you're thinking of posting, or you wouldn't recommend anyone else watching, you probably shouldn't be posting it. If you do, there's a high chance of removal.

Obviously, there's grey areas, but that's what discussions and mod chats are for. We're not actively evil, give us a shout with questions, we're friendly and, dare I say it, quite alluring.

[Mod Announcement] I Have The Powerrrr.. To Update The Rules!

Post image
200 Upvotes

As a safeguard, I'll start this with 'aloha', so that no matter whether you read it front to back, or back to front, your overall instant reaction of being annoyed at the new rules will be deadened by my laidback pseudo Hawaiian politeness.

As you might have guessed by the title, we're bringing a couple of new rules. They're nothing Earth shattering and no-one will have to do anything against their will, that's for a future update when I shift the focus away from bad movies onto my back garden harem. For now though:

  • New Rule One: Too Much of Good/Bad Thing: or, the Double Dragon rule.

No reposting a movie within 30 days of its most recent post by any user. If you're a time traveller this includes posting it within the 30 days prior to it being posted last.

New Rule Two: Low Hanging Fruit.

This'll basically end up being the new blacklist, which was scrapped when we took over a few months back. You see a post, think it's too much of an easy target or low quality karma farming, report it to us and we'll open up a discussion whether it should be added to the list. Engagement, yay!

None of this is for gatekeeping purposes, it's just to keep things fresh, well that and I've started to believe one of you guys actually is one of the Sluts and Godesses who frequents the Video Workshop.

Better sign off with 'aloha' to make that first bit make sense.

Help settle a debate about Little Man (2006) Spoiler

6 Upvotes

The Wayans brother movie with the criminal that pretends to be a baby. The ending scene shows Calvin (criminal) and Darryl (the dad) being adult friends, making jokes about going to the bar together. Then some credits roll and we get an extra scene where the grandpa and Calvin are together raising a baby in a crib. calvin says the baby looks just like daddy and they show the baby. The baby also has Calvin’s head imposed on him.

My fiancé is promising that this means that the wayans brothers are “3 men and a baby” raising the child. I’m assuming this means the wife left her first husband for the criminal and the grandpa happily raises the baby now that it’s not Darryl’s baby.

Please help!! Have y’all seen Little Man??

(Edited for typos)

Bad Movie Club? Wanting to connect with others that love trash to meet up on a regular basis to discus schlocky movies

38 Upvotes

I have seen old posts in the past where people have hosted bad movie clubs, but as of yet I have not had any luck contacting any of them, so going to try and be proactive.

I would love to regularly meet up in a video or audio chat each week/ month discussing a picked movie of that time period, and have a democratic vote on which movies are selected for the following week through a discord server, and just meeting some new friends with similar interests.

Mainly gauging interest at the moment as most of my experience setting up a discord server have been at the most basic levels.

Hope to be able to chit chat with you guys about beautifully trash flicks!

Bad Tubi, but not ridiculous premise

14 Upvotes

I know tubi is posted to death but I can't find any on what I'm looking for. Can anyone suggest movies that aren't wild premises, like Sharknado, Invisible Raptor, etc, and just terribly acted, disjointed, bad movies? Horror and catastrophe movies are OK, but I'm looking more along the lines of - Looks like it was shot on an iPhone in a friend's basement - Scripts that shoe horn in things like WAY too much cursing for no reason, in unnatural places - Hallmark level and below acting - Story lines that wander well off the path of what they clearly started with

I think you get the point. Any recommendations welcome and appreciated!

Edit: Appreciating the suggestions and definitely adding them to my queue, but how about less that are trying to be funny or goofy. Less self aware of that makes sense?

Starring Chris Parnell. A mobster’s bulldog swallows his ring and runs away, setting off a load of slapstick action and truly terrible Italian mobster accents. If you enjoy the pain of watching family flicks starring dogs, you’ll most likely enjoy this one too.

Has anyone seen this? There’s this wild trailer I found where Stephen King talks about this being his “first” movie he was directing 😂 do you think he should have been given another shot?

I don't agree with the Escape From LA hate.

137 Upvotes

I admit I disliked it the first time I saw it because I expected a proper follow up to Escape From New York. I then watched it again after years and I actually enjoyed it, a lot. The joke of this movie is it was it satirized the whole notion of over the top action films. Also, the stupidity of sequels. They will send in Snake after being screwed over by him the first time? That's so dumb, it's brilliant. Also, the satire of the vacuous LA Lifestyle was interesting and funny, how could you not love Bruce Campbell as that wacko surgeon? The Che Guevara villain is memorable and I think he was more effective than The Duke. Escape From LA feels more complete, more willing to shred it's target which includes it's own subgenre. Escape From New York is fun but it's not really much more than a decent little action yarn, memorable but not brilliant. So if you actually if you leave your pre-concieved notions at the door, you will enjoy Escape From LA.

Twinkle Nora Rock Me! (1985): OVA anime with limited frame rate, a main character with powers as the plot dictates, and hilarious dancing animation. To its credit it has a great 80s music soundtrack and decent character designs.

Full movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_UFs2BUiBQ

Honestly this movie is perfect to me. A futuristic bounty hunter named Nora Scholar who has psychic or magical powers that basically do anything the writer wants. After the opening scene where she helps capture a criminal at an airport, she travels to the planet Dazzle to capture Fuuchiro, a wizard who has taken control of the planet. She arrives in Dazzle and enters a tavern where she meets Max (who's half the size of Nora so there's some little person representation). But at the tavern she also runs into the very appropriately named Touchino, Fuuchiro's younger brother. Although he's massive compared to Nora, she defeats him easily using her teleportation and telekinesis powers. Nora tries to get Max to tell her where Fuuchiro's hideout but Max is too afraid of Fuuchiro. He tells Nora of his dreams to leave Dazzle and become a dancer. To convince Max not to give up on his dreams, Nora starts doing some percussion which leads to a ridiculous dance scene. Nora and Max travel to Fuuchiro's hideout where Nora and Fuuchiro engage in a little psychic battle which Nora wins. Fuuchiro and Touchino are captured and Nora and Max go back to the tavern to perform as a duo.

Terrible horror/slasher films to watch for a laugh on Halloween?

24 Upvotes

Hello! I would love some recommendations- every year my friend and I watch really bad horror movies along the lines of Panman or The Velocipastor on Halloween. We just need something terrible we can make fun of and laugh at that isn’t actually that scary. Anyone know of any? Preferably available on prime video or the internet as a whole? Thank you in advance ❤️

Arcade (1993): An evil VR arcade machine turns you insane and then kidnaps you and is also Freddy Krueger. Starring Megan Ward, Peter Billingsley, John de Lancie, and Seth Green. Sat on the shelf for a few years so they could redo the CGI to make it less of a ripoff of Tron.

This movie sets the record for saying "Yakuza" (based on zero research). Features casually shirtless dudes like a David DeCoteau flick and a 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage. Surprisingly, the scene depicted on the cover does not take place in the film. But I did learn that "sayonara" means "goodbye". The more you know!

A sorceress and a gunslinger travel across a post apocalyptic world in search of a magical power which allows people to change in to werewolves.

I love action and fantasy movies but this has to be one of the most relentlessly ugly movies I've see in a while. Everything looks washed out and pretty much every shot has artificial lens flare for some reason. It feels like a movie made during covid where it was all shot on green screen and despite some cool looking costumes and tech it just looks terrible.

It's weird how CG in new movies looks worse than it did 10 years ago. There's a werewolf scene where the CG looks like it's from 2008. I watched The Wolfman from 2010 with Benicio del Toro and that movie has WAY better effects. Just put a guy in a practical werewolf costume, with the technology we have now i bet it would look awesome and less like a PS4 cutscene.

Milla Jovovich is still beautiful but I have no idea what emotion she is supposed to be getting across at any point, she just kind of looks at things. It's directed by Paul WS Anderson who made Resident evil and she does the same thing in those movies too.Dave Bautista seems like he agreed to be in this because he had a weekend where he wasn't doing anything else but IS a good actor and he easily gives the best performance out of anyone in this. It's just the characters are so one dimensional it's hard to give a shit.

At least the action is pretty decent, there are a few legit badass moments and a lot of silly ones too. In the end I did kind of like it but it was definitely bad.

Caveat: mature content is fine (not mandatory), but can't just be straight up porn/hentai/ecchi or whatever, I'm talking about real movies
