You're right about Ghost Ship, but not everyone knew that at the time. Everyone knew right from the beginning that Toxie shouldn't have been allowed, unless the rule was abolished and everyone got to pick their nominations over again.

I didn't remember. I don't think I was paying too much attention at the time.

Well, we could spam The Toxic Avenger IMDb page with 1's to get it eligible. :p
It deserves 10's though. Also an IMDb rating is a weird eligibility rule, but I won't be involving myself in any HoF arguments again. :o
A healthy debate is fine. This reminds me of the Metal tournament debate. It was accepted, so it's in, but no one has to vote for it if they don't think it should have qualified in the first place.
:shrug:
But the real issue is...
HOW COME NO ONE NOMINATED MEAN GUNS?
Oh yeah, cuz I didn't join...

It wasn't accepted by the people who picked nominations under a rating of 6. That's the first movie that popped into my head when this HoF was announced, and as I wrote after watching it, I've been a big fan since before most of you were born. I wasn't allowed to nominate it though.
I don't really care anymore, but how can anyone question what Suspect said when he was right?
Well, I guess I'll say this, just because someone else nominated something that didn't qualify is no reason to accept another nomination that doesn't qualify.
I think though that the bigger issue is probably that AboveTheClouds would have nominated something else if he knew it would get this kind of treatment for not completely qualifying, because it was accepted. And on that note there wasn't any mercy shown in that area in the Metal competition. So... I don't know... Just going to have to let everyone decide for themselves how they'll vote, I guess...

That's true, and I bet even Derek didn't know Ghost Ship wasn't a B Movie. We all knew about the other one from the start.

I definitely would have nominated something else had I known I could go above a 5.9 rating. That's the problem, a lack of equality in the rules.
Keep in mind, Ghost Ship doesn't gain an edge in the competition by not being a B movie, but a movie that is more universally praised certainly does.
Soooo wait, I'm just a bit confused, why was Toxic Avenger allowed to be nominated in the first place if it broke the rule? Because it's the "definitive" B-Movie? If that's the case, why don't we just deem it the wiener I mean winner?

My problem is not necessarily that it was allowed, but that it was allowed after most other members sent in their noms that went by the rule. Check pages 2 and 3 for the order in which it went down.
Okay so Nope said the rule was lenient anyway, which makes sense, But I agree with cricket - we should have known that from the start.
You know, I've been learning lately about how important it is to notice subtle hints and suggestions. They are not forceful, but ignoring them can have repricutions. And if it's true in small areas like a HoF, how much more so in the most important aspects of life.
Hint ;)

02-11-16, 04:12 PM
The key is timing. Being lenient on the rules after 6 out of 8 members send in their noms is too late.
AboveTheClouds
02-11-16, 07:30 PM
Then it shouldn't have been accepted into the HoF, plain and simple. Also, if everyone had such a problem with it, why not mention it sooner, or actually pose opposition to it, so I could have used my other option.. Instead now people are going to basically disqualify it, so there was no point in me even joining the HoF. No need to get your collective panties in a twist. I would have gladly used my other option like I stated, If you'd like to disqualify it feel free, I'll just back out of the competition and delete my ratings because I'm technically not in it. No big deal.
cricket
02-11-16, 07:43 PM
You're right, it shouldn't have been accepted, and I responded right away when you mentioned you had a nomination in mind that had a rating of 6.2. After it was suddenly announced that it was a nomination, I didn't want to make a bigger fuss out of it. It's still been a great Hall of Fame, and you've still been a great member. The only reason I'm talking about it now is because of your response to Suspect bringing it up.
AboveTheClouds
02-11-16, 07:53 PM
It was discussed earlier in the thread and I don't think I was out of line with my response. I didn't see a need for that sort of response a month into this, you could have said all this much earlier and saved me time and effort. I asked nicely if it was possible to use the film, it was told yes, in fact I was told by Nope that because it's an iconic film he would allow it. It was not my prerogative to irritate anyone, but it's kind of ****** to get a month into this and now have to deal with all this, especially when I had another movie that was viable. If you don't say anything, how is anyone to know you disapprove, it didn't seem like you were being completely serious at the beginning of the thread, or maybe text wasn't able to portray that you were? Either way, it's all good I could care less.

cricket
02-11-16, 08:08 PM
Lol, other choice it is.
After that, there was no more discussion about it until 3 days later when Nope suddenly said a 6.2 was allowed. By then, 6 of 8 members had already sent in their noms, with everyone except you searching for a movie at 5.9 or lower. I would've nominated a 6+ movie, but by that point I didn't want to do any more work on my nom. I didn't like it but I was letting it go. Suspect just watched the movie so he may have just noticed the rating on it.
AboveTheClouds
02-11-16, 08:12 PM
I had a film lower than 5.9, I gave him my original nomination and asked if he'd consider using Toxic Avenger. Sorry Nope for quoting the PM, but here it is.
I was going to nominate The Toxic Avenger, but unfortunately its 6.2 on imdb(unless you can find it in your heart to allow it);) So my second choice will be Shocker

I will indeed allow you to use The Toxic Avenger since it is without a doubt a B-Movie. For it I will make an acceptation
Is that good enough for you Cricket?

02-11-16, 08:16 PM
I actually saw Shocker at the movies when it came out-great flick!
See my problem is not necessarily that you got to nominate that movie, but rather the fact that the rest of us were limited in our selections.
It's weird though. I was thinking of nominating Basket Case, and Nope turned me down.
AboveTheClouds
02-11-16, 08:19 PM
Yeah and I can understand that man, but it's sucks now that we are a month in and I'm basically being DQ'd for this. As I showed you I even sent my original nomination, and if someone had actually approached me and expressed their disapproval I might have asked Nope to just let me use Shocker, instead now we are kind of in a sh!tty spot.
No no no, please don't disqualify ATC. Stay in dude!

Just caught up on reading all of this. No movie is getting disqualified, it is far too late for that. I understand why some of you are upset about me allowing Toxic Avenger to be nominated, it was a mistake and I should have told everyone that they could nominate the movies they wanted to. If this had been brought up earlier though, I would have asked Clouds for a new nomination, but I can't do that now. Sorry to upset anyone, and if you are still mad, blame me not Clouds.
Honestly I'm not mad at anyone Nope. This has been a great HoF, we should just keep going. :)

Well, I think you should have just gone with your original, and accepting the exception was relying on leniency. It's just a lesson for next time at this point because as you can see it backfired a bit.

Humanoids From the Deep
I enjoyed this film, but not in the way I was hoping to. The film was not funny-bad like Miami Connection or Hard Ticket to Hawaii, it was a different kind of B-Movie. I haven't seen many creature features, and I think this is a good introduction. This film had all of the tropes, and did them quite well. That being said I was only thoroughly entertained during the climax at the end of the film, the rest was slightly boring. That being said I did have fun watching this movie, and might consider watching it again with some buddies.

Humanoids is a proper exploitation B-movie, whereas Miami Connection (I've not seen Hard TIcket To Hawaii) is a cheaply, poorly made film. They're both entertaining, though Humanoids is much more my thing.
Hard Ticket to Hawaii
If these films have anything going for them to make them click, it's pure enjoyment, pure entertainment. That's my problem with this. It's a perfect B-Movie, so, so bad, and a great nomination for this HoF. But I found it a struggle to get through. I just wasn't really into the story. Thankfully, I think the filmmakers had someone like me in mind, and that's why boobs are always coming out. Boobs out of nowhere!

Very enjoyable experience. Nice creature feature, fun gore effects and sex scenes throughout. It doesn't stand out much from the 80s monster movie genre (kill the men, rape the women, graphic violence and sex, bad ADR, etc.), and for me personally being original/creative goes a long way in rating a B-movie. There's a very odd subplot about land ownership that was kind of hard to follow and never got a definitive conclusion.

Maybe my least favourite of the bunch. It just didn't seem to have any charm that a lot of the b-movies in this HoF have. It fit the gritty action requirements perfectly though. A more sleazy "Death Proof" where our vigilante must clean the streets of New York.

Possibly the wildest of the bunch for the sheer lunacy that takes place here. I wanted it to have maybe just a tad bit more of a budget, that would have really sold the film for me.
Possibly the most self aware film nominated in this whole thing. The cheese factor here is through the roof and everyone seems to be enjoying it.

I kind of understand how Blood Feast gets so little in a B-Movie tournament. Whilst it definitely is, it's much more a splatter film and it doesn't have that B-Movie feel that something like Humanoids or The Exterminator does. Despite that, it's on my 100, so I'd have still probably had it at #1. :D

B-movies.. there are so many of them... look at scifi and horror from the 1950s and early 1960's.. no one should have a problem finding one to post..
And I don't like B-movies, so sorry to say, I'm not playing..

And I don't like B-movies, so sorry to say, I'm not playing.. I love B movies, some are so bad they're fun, some are actually interesting but lacked production values and some are just really, really bad. I might know the crummiest, stupidest B film of all time.

Some are so bad, they are completely stupid...and most tend to be comedic and Citizens Rules, you know I don't like comedy.

Some were decent in their story lines, but cheap production. Later some of his film were just poor and inane. But he did have some decent movie ideas.

I have, but its been decades ago....
Running an Hof is easy to do. Maybe the hardest part is the scoring of the vote ballots, but that's easy once you know how.

If I ran one, it'd be suuuper slow going. Any tips you can give me citizen, I would appreciate the hell out of them! I'd make sure to take my time and really deck it out, visually, and try and make it fun but still servicable. And you could co-pilot with images and design if you chose?

I'm not exactly sure what officially counts as B-movie and what doesn't but at least in my opinion there's lots of non-comedic B-movies too. Just like Citizen Rules said, films that have interesting story (or at least a premise) but lacked production values (and possibly skill too). Just like you I rarely enjoy comedies but still like a good amount of (presumably) B-movies.
Oh, and I'd probably join if Joel (or anyone else) chooses to run the HoF.

In a nutshell:
You make your HoF thread (look at other HoFs to see what others have done, but do add your own Joelness to it.):)
Define what is and isn't a B movie because that will come up! (it's your decision as host).
Then get people to join and have fun!
When you get to the scoring part give me a buzz and I'll tell ya an easy way that I calculate the points.

pahak, there are many horrors I don't watch.. whether comedic or not.. I get called a 'movie snob" by my daughter... If it was something more recent production, classic or foreign.. I might join. I would even be willing to host a short horror film one...

... I would even be willing to host a short horror film one... You should do that. I bet a short horror film Hof would be popular. And easy to do as the films are short.
Citizen Rules
so, would this be "B Movie HoF II? If so, I'm literally about to start up the thread and start inviting ppl

Yeah but it would have to be longer than 10 minutes and shorter than 20 minutes..
Seriously CR, if I ran one.. I doubt many would participate.

Seriously CR, if I ran one.. I doubt many would participate. People LOVE horror, I bet you'd get enough people to have some fun, and that's what it's really about, seeing unique films and having fun talking about them.

Yeah, the decision in this one was the it couldn't have an imdb rating over 6.0
If you do one, I'd join.

Any chance of a BMHoF III anytime soon? loved part 2! :DProbably not real soon as most of the usual HoF members are in other current HoFs. But yeah, we should do another one of these at some point.
