If the worst movie ever made really exists, it’s most likely a comedy. Why? Because most bad serious dramas and horror movies can be so bad they’re funny. A bad comedy, on the other hand, are more so bad it’s unfunny, therefore having pretty much no enjoyment value.

When’s something gonna happen?

Pretty sure Coleman Francis never intended to make a comedy.

“The Anarchists are right in everything; in the negation of the existing order and in the assertion that, without Authority there could not be worse violence than that of Authority under existing conditions. They are mistaken only in thinking that anarchy can be instituted by a violent revolution… There can be only one permanent revolution — a moral one: the regeneration of the inner man. How is this revolution to take place? Nobody knows how it will take place in humanity, but every man feels it clearly in himself. And yet in our world everybody thinks of changing humanity, and nobody thinks of changing himself.”

― Leo Tolstoy

Okay, okay, you got me there.

Oh yeah, I just remembered, Fun in Balloon Land is not a comedy!

Highlander 2 is one of the most skippable movies in any franchise.

I’m not really that much of a movie purist. I really should’ve thought my name out a bit more.

TBH IMHO, the first one is also skippable.

The original Star Wars trilogy is not the only one that never had its theatrical version available on dvd in anamorphic widescreen . No , there is another …Conan The Barbarian 1982 . The original DVD release from the late 90s is letterboxed non anamorphic and very grainy .Reminds me of the GOUT. The releases from 2002 onwards have added scenes and an altered ending ,which ,while those scenes were originally shot at the time of filming , are not the theatrical release . I prefer the original ending where Conan goes of his own agency to kill Thulsa Doom without having to be led there . CTB 82 is one of my favorite films outside of Star Wars and the original theatrical deserves a proper modern HD release as well .

A random thought just popped into my head.

It amazes me that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sigourney Weaver, two of James Cameron’s most pronminent collaborators, have never starred in a movie together.

It would be cool if Timothy Dalton did a third Bond movie.

I honesty don’t understand why Blade Runner was rated R.

The instances of violence are very few and pretty tame. The only instance of strong swearing is when Roy Batty calls Tyrell “fucker”, which in other versions has been changed to “father”. Joanna Cassidy’s topless scene isn’t titilating at all, just a woman getting dressed.

One line in the theatrical cut’s narration contains a slur.
