A revelation after succumbing to Showtime's repeated airings of Twilight (which motivated my subsequent scrambling for the book, but that's something else).
I like compact, formulaic movies that get to the point, are overly earnest or are too on-the-nose. They get that entertainment is sometimes about fulfilling strict expectations in ways that are completely unsubtle.
Some really great bad movies
Death Race (actually, anything with Jason Statham. Many of his movies aren't bad.)
The House Bunny (Anna Faris is hi-larious.)
Halloween III: Season of the Witch (No Michael Myers. No problem.)
Shoot 'Em Up (Was this considered bad? I loved it.)
Double Dragon (It's so colorful, and Mark Dacascos is amazing.)
Teen Witch (Fantastic musical numbers. RIP Zelda Rubenstein.)
Killer Klowns From Outer Space (I think everyone knows I love this movie.)
Alligator People (50's fun)
Black Sheep (Just saw this one recently. It's a horror-comedy in the vein of Dead Alive and Bad Taste about killer sheep in New Zealand. It's like a werewolf movie but with sheep. It's fantastic.)
Nothing But Trouble (C'mon! It has Chevy Chase, John Candy, and Digital Underground!)
House by the Cemetery (Lucio Fulci has to make an appearance. His movies aren't for everybody. You have to appreciate movies with no plot, loose ends, and phantasmagoric gore to enjoy this.)
Femme Fatale (I'm a Brian DePalma fangirl, so yeah, loved it.)

I have been resisting watching Twilight. However, there is pretty much nothing else to watch. I predict it will happen this week. I also predict that, like you, I will find myself caring. Crap.
So, Nat, have you watched it yet?
Technology truly has become completely integrated to our existence, and I think it is safe to say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as memory becomes less expensive, the possibility of uploading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I dream about every once in a while.
