Ahh, the joy of watching an unintentionally bad movie. I’ve never been that big into it. I’m just bored by supposed bad movie classics like Plan 9 from Outer Space, and I’m a little put off by people who broadcast how much they like being “ironic.” Whatever that means. Hipsters watching soccer, I think.
I like watching Jean Claude Van Damme movies, but that’s mostly a whole “I remember thinking these movies were the height of human artistic endeavour” kind of thing.

Then the Twilight movies came along. I mean, holy crap. I recently had some friends over for a watch party that ROCKED thanks to the best drinking game I’ve ever played and the worst movie I’ve ever seen. I mean, I could spend some time writing about all the reasons I love the Twilight series, but really, just watch one of those films. There are so many strands of story that don’t make sense on their own that weave into an overarching narrative that makes so little sense and contradicts itself so often that your brain has no choice but to enter a kind of existentialist zen enclosure where all you can do is laugh your ass off. I was physically sore watching New Moon in the cinema and even cracked off a Brendan Frasier type clap and point at one stage.
Today, the trailer for Eclipse came out. The third film in the series, Eclipse promises to continue bringing the crazy to new and exciting levels. More Dakota Fanning! More of that redhead from the first movie who’s supposedly terrifying despite the fact the story’s protagonist is protected by numerous vampires and a werewolf that probably listens to too much metal in a dark room on his own! I haven’t read the books so I’m not sure what’s coming but I really want more Michael Sheen.
Caption: I guess this bumps his werewolf work onto the same page of his resume as The Queen.
I am happy. I’m a little alarmed that literally millions of people are missing the joke and think this stuff is really good, but hey, to each his or her own. I don’t demand that everyone understand my obsession with Columbo. But these movies… Oh man. Oh man oh man oh man.

you already know how much i cannot WAIT to see “eclipse.” even though i’m already mourning the loss of the Jort.
I’ve only seen the first one (and also played the drinking game!), but it was a BLAST. I’ll definitely be checking out the next two with the same formula for fun.
Dude! WESLEY SNIPES.
