Cinematic Greatness
Sometimes, maybe once a generation or so, a movie comes along that transcends mere film. It isn’t a piece of celluloid, so much as it is a cultural event. More than that, a cultural shift. A movie that makes you reexamine you beliefs, and even your very self. A movie that will leave it’s permanent mark upon your soul.
The creators will find that magic combination that allows them to breath precious vitality into a story, and make it seem as real and as pertinent to you as events that you actually experienced for yourself. And for the rest of your life, you will be able to look back at the moment that you first sat down to watch it, and you will say to yourself:
“This. This was the moment that everything changed for me forever!”
And sometimes the movie executives just go: “Fuck it, what if we have a giant shark fight a giant octopus?”

But dude! The guy from “Renegade” *and* the girl who ripped off Tiffany in the 1980s “repurpose 50s songs as 80s new wave” craze! In the SAME movie! Plus, that shark totally tore the Golden Gate a new one! What’s not to like about this?
Oh, right; it’s the guy from “Renegade” *and* Debbie Gibson. I’m willing to bet even Sci Fi Channel said “no thanks” to this, and they made the THIRD Crow film. There’s just no excuse for that.

Mate, best way is to consume copious quantities of alcohol. That will hose it out real good, might lose a brain cell or two but that never hurt anyone.

This is bound to be a cinematic masterpiece on a level with Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and Plan 9 from Outer Space.

A video store near me used to have a “Like it or your next rental is free!” wall. Some smartass clerk slipped Plan 9 onto it. I got several free rentals out of just bringing it to the counter and going “You’ve seen this, right? Can I have my freebie now?”.

Jeezis H Christmas, is that what passes for animation these days? Ray Harryhausen wouldn’t deign to spit on this shitheap. Even Ed Wood coulda done better with some rubber models lifted from some other movie’s props trailer.

Well I think it is an inspiring piece of cinema… it inspires me to build a time machine so I can prevent both the director and producer from being born… that way this glob of Sea Urchin ejaculate would never get made.

Exactly. That is the same reasoning as for owning Plan 9 from Outer Space, etc.

You know, this looks so bad that it might actually be awesome. Like bad 80’s horror/kung fu flicks. I kinda want to see this now. Preferably after a few shots of jack, but still.

You could make a drinking game out of it. A shot for every time you saw a really bad special effect. The only problem would be that you’d be plastered before you even got to the second act. Oh wait, that would be a good thing…
CAPTCHA – convincing bakery – yea, I think the bakery could have made a more convincing shark and octopus.

That sounds like the drinking game my friends came up with for Boondock Saints. Every time someone in the movie drops the F-bomb, take a drink. That is a game that is hazardous to your health.

Catherine reply on May 22nd, 2009 9:24 pm:
Y’know, I’ve played that game with bad kung fu flicks. You do a shot every time someone mentions the words “Master”, “Chosen One”, or any time you see the wires. I was bombed out of my pretty little head. According to my fiance, I was acting out the fight scenes by the end of the night, but I don’t remember this.
Ah, good times.

I’m tempted to start screaming “oh, my virgin eyes!” right about now. Instead, I think I’ll just retreat to my horror movie happy place. June 12, people! Who’s with me?
Yes, I have no life.

I hate to be a bitch, but I actually got to see this movie a bit early, as it was entered in SIFF. All I have to say is it was so worth the $11 admission.
So now you know.

Weren’t the Nazis really big into paranormal and magic stuff? So for all we know maybe they found a way to do something like this.

This is, creepily enough, true. However, if I’m remembering correctly, a lot of governments researched the paranormal during the mid-20th Century, including ours.

You know, I think it would be so bad, it would be good. Like the kung-fu/action film ‘The Black Mask’ absolutely bloody awful, but because of it, a cinematic masterpiece.
But you’d have to be fucking smashed.

The Birdweiser reply on May 23rd, 2009 12:01 am:
Oh, come on! What’s not to like about a shitty plot, terrible acting, and awful props?
For the uninitiated, the black mask from the title is a zorro-esque mask worn by the “hero”, made of what appears to be, I shit you not, spray-painted corrugated cardboard.
And although I haven’t seen it. I think there is a sequel.

as a fan of all movies-B, I’d pick this up on dvd just to add it to my collection. I’ve got plan 9, Killer tomatoes, several horrible “horror” films (think “The Howling” series etc.) A bunch of poorly subtitled kung-fu theater movies (the 5 deadly venoms anyone?) Nearly every sci-fi movie thats out on video to date (what can I say… I love corny/cheesy/titties galore movies. Must be the 80’s still lurking in me somewhere)
