My work schedule the past few months has left me looking for things to do late at night. While everyone else is getting ready to turn in for the evening, I'm just getting home and still have several hours to go before I'm sleepy enough to hit the sack. Hell, even my fuck buddies are asleep by this point. I've been dealing with that little problem by downloading movies from Netflix. Not just any movies, of course, but certifiably bad movies. Movies so bad they not only went straight to video, but they were intended for video.

Tonight's special showing?  "Devil's Den" starring Kelly Hu, whom I suspect straight guys jerk off to when they're home alone, late at night, after work.

Plot elements: Lap dancing man-eating ghouls, tits galore, a samurai, girl fights, gore o'plenty.

Story: Ghouls disguised as bodacious babes have taken over a strip club somewhere in the American Southwest. Luring unsuspecting men looking for a handjob and drink, they feast on their patrons until a secret government agent (Kelly Hu) follows one customer inside. Little does she know one of the patrons is actually there in an attempt to destroy the queen of the ghouls.

I invite any and all into a competition to present us with a movie more absolutely, indescribably and mesmerizingly awful than the current entries of predatory zombie strippers and Rutger Hauer repeatedly raping Jennifer Jason Leigh (in medieval drag).

"The Majorettes"

Plot elements: Teenage girls, tits, a creepy janitor, an evil German nurse, a lonely rich girl, cute high school quarterback, religious fanatics, trailer trash, poorly orchestrated fight scenes, explosions, semi-automatic weapons.

Story: A killer is bumping off the majorettes of a high-school pep squad one by one. The plot splinters into about a dozen subplots which are barely tied up at the end. Bad acting, a cheesy 80s electronica soundtrack, and big 80s hairdos for days.

Fun fact: This turkey was directed by S. William Hinzman who had a role in George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead".

It's not worth watching the movie because it's bad in all the wrong ways, but when I was in High School I remember seeing "The Lift", a real stinker only worth mentioning because it's a story about an evil elevator that kills people, and the tagline was "Take the stairs, take the stairs, for God's sake take the stairs!"  I think it was either Dutch or German dubbed in English.

Oh, good god. I saw that just a couple of weeks ago. It was Dutch which didn't help. Bad, bad, bad. I did like the fact the army was called in to deal with the problem, however. It restored my faith in America.

Truck Stop Women (1974), starring Claudia Jennings. The imdb one-line plot synopsis: "A mother and daughter who run a brothel for truckers fight back when the Mafia tries to take over their operation." Today, it would be a reality series. In its third season.

"A medical school dropout loses his fiancée in a tragic lawnmower incident, and decides to bring her back. Unfortunately, he was only able to save her head, so he goes to the red light district in the city and lures prostitutes into a hotel room so he can get parts for his girlfriend." [IMDB]

I first learned of this movie by seeing its preview on my rented VHS copy of A Boy and His Dog.  Turns out, it's actually a pretty entertaining movie.  The effects are low-budget but fairly good, the acting isn't god-awful, and the whole thing generally has a pretty good sense of humor.

I think Chopping Mall was the kind of movie that is "in on the joke," as John Waters once observed.

Whereas To Wong Foo was just an embarrassment to everyone involved.  Patrick Swayze was trying SO HARD.

#39 2008-04-01 13:00:21

"To Wong Foo" was bad, but I remember discussing the difference between "Priscilla: Queen of the Desert" and "To Wong Foo" with a drag queen back in Anchorage. He loved "To Wong Foo" but was less impressed with "Priscilla", a movie I still find funny as hell.

From what I remember, he seemed to like the idea of drag queens sweeping into town and saving the day whereas Priscilla probably dealt a little too much with reality, a concept with which many drag queens have a very tenuous grasp.

I haven't seen Priscilla in years but, as I recall, nearly every line was a snap of some kind...just hysterical.  Not to mention that the three leads were all fantastic.  (Terence Stamp was nominated for an Oscar!)

By contrast, the only good thing about Wong Foo was Leguizamo, who seems to be able to do fucking anything.

Since the topic seems to be Drag...



The worst ever Liz Taylor film... BOOM!



http://b.imagehost.org/0374/sboomposter_6.jpg



That head-dress is on fire!   I wish...



http://b.imagehost.org/0374/boom_7.jpg



John Waters informed us that this was the movie that he shows to friends of his as his "litmus" test, if they don't enjoy it, he claims to never speak to them again! I'm inclined to agree.

If you're a fan of camp, SEE THIS FILM! If you're a fan of Elizabeth Taylor, SEE THIS FILM! If you're a fan of Joanna Shimkus, well I don't know what to say then, except congratulations! You're the first one! (although, she is great in this movie)

What more can you say about a film that has Elizabeth Taylor decked out in Kabuki-Vegas drag holding an intimate bitchy dinner party with an aged and drunken Noel Coward (in a role written for a woman, and first offered to Katharine Hepburn!) To watch Miss Taylor in action, is to behold a true screen legend fully embrace her diva acting self. She lets rip with such abandon and power, she manages to wipe everybody else off the screen, including HERSELF!

While Richard Burton, Noel Coward, Joanna Shimkus, and Michael Dunn (of Ship of Fools and Wild Wild West[tv version, please!] fame) manage to deliver the goods in this Tennessee Williams free for all, it is the incredible Miss Taylor who grounds this late 60's arthouse flop, and manages to transcend it's failing qualities, to make it a screen orgy of bad taste and over the top drama!

Try and keep a straight face during Miss Taylor's prolonged coughing fit on the balcony! I thought I was going to be sick just watching her hack up her lungs. Watch Richard Burton somnambulistically maneuver his way through a role played on stage by Tab Hunter! (I can't help but think, that this film might have actually been pulled off as a straight drama with the original casting of Simone Signoret and Sean Connery!)

We lovers of camp and all things over the top should revel in this failed artistic masterpiece!

"The Beast Within," based on the novel by Edward Levy (and, perhaps in a misplaced homage to H. P. Lovecraft, took a few character names from "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward"), is terribly, terribly bad.  However, it features much cannibalism, two fairly damp monster rape scenes, many unproductive arguments, and a winsome teen getting away with cannibalism and rape/being eaten & raped.  Also, this movie sums up puberty pretty well.

Actually, except for that butt-fugly Karl Malden, I thought Baby Doll was just over the edge enough to watch, but then, I'm a sucker for Southern trash "literature" For some weird reason, I've always been attracted to Eli Wallach...maybe it was from "The Good, The Bad and The ...uh, nevermind....

And yes, Boom is fucking AWFUL.  It's one of those films trying to be uber-hip and missing completely. I found myself wishing Liz would fucking die already... Noel Coward is exceptionally bad.
