Worst is good as an admittedly subjective, personal reaction. It ain't science but used in the right context, it's a worthwhile word because it expresses your reaction to the movie. I know what it...

Re: What's the single worst film you've ever seen?

I've seen plenty of inept, cheap, cheesy movies, but "Worst" is a special word. That would be reserved for a flick I saw in something a long ago, somehow, not knowing what it was. It was a 1970...

The incident marks the first appearance of Dracula in England. I guess I always took that unfortunate Harker incident as a prologue.

Wow....I recall seeing the first one as a revival already, Planet of the Apes, way back when. There's been a bunch of them since then. This one is the 9th. As I recall, when the first...

I like them when they're distant, after dark and I can watch the lightning. I've been way too close to some very severe thunderstorms and tornados (100 feet in one case) to want them up close.

Re: Things You Just Found Out/Learned Recently?

A corollary to my discovery about Henry Schmidt is that, several centuries later Karl Schmidt (a descendant of Henry) and his wife Caroline emigrated to Baltimore, where Karl owned a saloon and I...

It's not the money, but the whole concept. I don't think I would want one except as a curious novelty that costs $100. In a year or two, someone will have a knock-off for about that anyway.

I think I will let that gadget sit for a while. I don't really want my movies to be all that immersive. I like being able to break my concentration, look around the room or theater, see who just...

Re: MST3K: Anti-cinema?

It's worth noting that MST3K also skewered a few movies that were not "horror" or "sci-fi" (quotes are deliberate considering the quality of the movies), but from other genres.

Last night, it was an old favorite, the 1980 version of The Fog.....not the later remake. It's John Carpenter at his auteur peak, modest production, only a few actors you've heard of, but it's set...

Whether it's self-indulgent or independently creative or authentic artistry mainly depends on the product.
