Re: Movies That Are So Bad They’re Good in Chit-Chat
Pretty much anything with the seminal Mr. Guttenberg. Or Stephen Baldwin. Who’s been in one good film… apparently by accident, as it’s never happened again!
Shark in Venice is a particularly… um… lame one of his. Funny though.
Also, I seem to recall he was in a film where the sky catches on fire…

Re: What’s your WORST movie everyone? in Chit-Chat
I would -kill- to be able to write like Chuck. He is the most incredible author. My favourite book of his is Lullaby, but I think his most accomplished is Survivor.
And NBK has my favourite moment in cinema in it. You know when Mickey’s telling the joke and RATM kicks in? Gives me shivers every time.
I watched Breakfast Club about a year ago, and read Catcher a couple of years before that. Both in my 20s, certainly. I think if I’d been younger when I saw them I would probably have seen parts of myself in them… like the Bell Jar. When I first read it it spoke to my life. I don’t know if I’d find it the same reading it for the first time now.

Oh no! I’m nice really, honest!
Out of interest how old were you when you first saw/read them?

Re: What’s your WORST movie everyone? in Chit-Chat
I may be alone in this, but I loathe with a blind, searing passion The Breakfast Club.
Maybe I was too old when I watched it, like reading Catcher in the Rye. I felt that the characters were two-dimensional and whinged the whole way through the film. Which might actually be a reasonably accurate portrayal of some teenagers…
I could probably have coped with that, but the very end made me actually rant at the television.
The moral of the story, kids… ‘conformity rules, ok!’

Re: Movies That Are So Bad They’re Good in Chit-Chat
I love a bad film. If there are any London peeps kicking about, Bad Film Club at the Barbican is pretty much the best thing ever.
My personal favourites are…
Frankenfish - does exactly what it says on the tin!
Zombie Strippers! - again, fairly self explanatory, but with added Robert Englund. Also, the punctuation is part of the title. This amuses me.
Can’t Stop the Music - the Village People biopic starring Steve Guttenburg. At one point an old lady beats someone with a baguette.
Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus - science is blue. True story.

Re: Your taste in music… in Chit-Chat
Musics what I are loving at the moment:
Melvins, Die So Fluid, STP, Faith No More, Down, Pantera, Snot, Fantomas, Orange Goblin, Clutch, Alice in Chains, Pitchshifter, Sepultura, Acoustic Ladyland, Megadeth, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom 65daysofstatic, Party in Hiroshima.
My favourite composers are: Rachmaninov, Poulenc, Debussy, Gershwin, Bizet, Shostakovic.
I also enjoy the odd spot of breakcore. If any of you haven’t heard it - there’s an aweseome Amon Tobin remix of Raining Blood with nasty, nasty breaky beats.

Also, in the non-organic music aisle: Venetian Snares, Bong-Ra, enduser, Queynte, Snog, wai.pi.wai,
And my favourite musical (for I am super-cool): Hedwig and the Angry Inch - See it! See it now!
That’ll do, methinks.
