"Art too bad to be ignored"

Cat Pie Hurts — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 07:54:07 -0800

From Sunday on the Pot with George to In the Cat's Mouth* to Think Again, The Museum Of Bad Art (MOBA) is "the world's only museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition and celebration of bad art in all its forms." Some images NSFW *: my personal favorite previously (original long deadlinked)

The results of the 2009 Lyttle Lytton Contest are in. The Contest rewards unintentionally funny lines in writing. Not to be confused with the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest. Those results aren't in yet.

Colin is a new British horror film told from a Zombie's point of view. It was made for £45 and apparently it went down well at Cannes . Peter Jackson's first film Bad Taste did a similar thing. This documentary features Jackson's parents talking about taking the film to France.

I am not joking. It is real. Carry on.

Making A Bad Movie

Artw — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 18:26:25 -0800

It was the 80's. We were younger then, and anything seemed possible. So it all seemed part of Destiny when my very first screenplay was bought and produced; fame and fortune was surely just around the corner. HA! Fat chance.- The making of Forever Evil.

So Bad They're Good (At Being Bad)

Bad Gift Emporium. Can't stand to look at that glittery unicorn statue from Aunt Ethel any longer? Can't bear to wear the hand-knitted sweater from Grandma Agnes (made from her own cat's hair)? Want to offer your horrific gift items to people who can truly appreciate them, or just share the misery? The Bad Gift Emporium is for you.

I was tipped off about speaking to you today. Press connect and I'll tell you why.

Amusing promotion for the new series Breaking Bad. (cortex, I hope you don't mind)

6 degrees of weak statistics

tkolar — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 08:36:04 -0800

The other Milgram experiment had less than shocking results. In fact, the famous six degrees of separation appear to be more folklore than science. Kevin Bacon may be lonelier than we thought.

Only Shatner can make Satanists melt

Astro Zombie — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 13:09:26 -0800

All hail 70s-era Shatner! He began his career with some rather prestigious projects, appearing in The Brothers Karamazov and Judgment at Nuremberg, as well as some rather high profile appearance in Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents. But even then, there were hints of exploitation, such as 1961's The Explosive Generation, in which Shatner played a teacher whose job is endangered when she speaks candidly to kids about sex. And there was 1962's The Intruder, a Roger Corman film from 1963 in which Shatner played a carpetbagging racist inciting violence in a southern town. (Clip.) And, of course, there was Incubus from 1965, a horror film in Esperanto. (Clip.) But, after Star Trek, at the start of the 70s, something went haywire. Let us begin with Big Bad Mama, from 1974, a Corman ripoff of Bonnie and Clyde that featured Angie Dickenson played a moonshiner with desperate daughter and Shatner as a gambler made bervous by machine guns. (Preview.) Also in 1974, Shatner starred in Impulse as a con man who murders women. (See him kill Karate Pete.) The following year, he starred in The Devil's Rain, which put him toe toe toe with satanists. (Watch Shatner scream; Ooh, they melt!) What could be worse? Well, you could have Shatner fighting spiders. (Review; clip) Or you could have him wear an atrocious toupee and leisure suits to narrate and appear throughout a pseudoscientific documentary about aliens from space. (Summary.) Or you could simply find him in a series of made for television disaster movies. And did you think he couldn't ruin his own great episode of Twilight Zone? Think again.

Would you burn a used million dollars from this man?

The Worst Colleges In America

Sticherbeast — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 14:09:40 -0800

Radar picks the worst colleges in America. At least one of the picks is rather dubious, although I suppose being the "worst" Ivy League is a position of some note, and another one of the picks was where my school's valedictorian went. Either way, it's always nice to see the Moonies somersaulting into otherwise non-Moonie related stories.

Your favourite film sucks

chuckdarwin — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 03:13:41 -0800

'In defense of film critics' posits that 'Film critics [unlike food critics, etc] are expected to be cheerleaders.' I guess we're not supposed to think it's odd that the piece was written by paper's resident film critic. He does ask at least one good question, though: why have so many truly awful [and poorly reviewed ] films done so well at the the box office this year?

Bad Music Radio

chillmost — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 10:57:33 -0800

Would you like to listen to some bad music? You know, just in case your good music gets boring. Opinions will vary of course. I kind of like the Temple City Kazoostra's version of Also sprach Zarathustra. The Museum of Bad Album Covers on the same site was discussed previously.

So, so sorry.

BlackLeotardFront — Sat, 04 Nov 2006 00:52:53 -0800

I'm sorry. But if print-and-cut decorations for your penis don't qualify as best of the web, then what does? I'm serious. Where else would this even be possible?

The Shame of Memory

squidfartz — Fri, 22 Sep 2006 23:30:33 -0800

When I first saw it, my jaw hit the floor. After years of thinking I would suffer alone with the memory, I found others who knew. Along the way, I discovered other gems... even though my personal tastes were more epic. When she asked why I loved them so much, I replied, "Because they are so ambitious. They try so hard".

Keep on Shrugging: apparently the planned film of Ayn Rand's much-beloved Atlas Shrugged -- a chief vehicle for her philosophy "Objectivism" -- is moving ahead. It's now planned as a trilogy and has a studio, a (draft) script, funding, and (tentatively) Angelina Jolie as Dagny Taggart (the star) -- she's apparently a big fan. For background, here's the Objectivism Mockery links page, including the brilliant, now-vanished "Objectifism."

The Room: Best/Worst/Best Vanity Project Ever

boost ventilator — Thu, 01 Jun 2006 12:03:20 -0800

The Room: The Movie. Triple-threat (actor/writer/director) Tommy Wiseau made his cinematic debut in 2003 with the The Room (see trailer and various scenes), "a blend between a softcore porn flick and a Tennessee Williams stageplay." Wiseau ("who's not just one of the most unusual looking and sounding-with an unidentifiable Eastern European accent-leading men ever to grace the screen, but a narcissist nonpareil whose movie makes Vincent Gallo's "The Brown Bunny" seem the apotheosis of cinematic self-restraint...may be something of a first: A movie that prompts most of its viewers to ask for their money back-before even 30 minutes have passed." - Variety), allegedly raised $6 million outside Hollywood to cover production and marketing costs of the self-described "black comedy about love, passion, betrayal and lies" (see various rough dress rehersals). Audience members, including comedian David Cross, have been "marveling at the bizarre editing, bad bluescreen, uncomfortably explicit sex scenes and, of course, the enigma of Wiseau himself" as the film played monthly for years in Los Angeles. Available on DVD, diehard "roomies" swear by the theatrical experience, shout out their own commentary, hurl spoons at the screen and singalong to the soundtrack. Some call it "The Rocky Horror of the New Millenium" and stage "Room" parties. If you look at the marketing campaign or survived a screening you might see The Room as "a seminar on how NOT to make a movie." [Inspired by Boing Boing]

Worst Product Design...EVAR

tgrundke — Tue, 07 Mar 2006 12:43:06 -0800

50% of all product returns are due to poor design. Well color me surprised, kids. It seems as though we always take for granted the products we use on a regular basis. But most things I use just plain suck due to the design and resultant user experience. How often do you find yourself fighting with your mobile phone, DVD player, 80-button AV receiver and 15 component TV systems? Which products are paragons of good design, and which should be thrown away with the dishwater? What's the most infuriating product you've ever used? My choices for bad design: BMW's iDrive. Good design: iPod.
