I get hella stoned and watch Foodfight! at least once a year. It’s my “favorite” movie.

Everything about it, from the implied beastiality between Charlie Sheen and Hillary Duff, to the weird gay bat, to the shitweasel is a masterclass in what not to do in a movie. It transcends badness and becomes something sublime. The entire plot is about how store brands/generics are Nazis, and one of the Nazis absolutely chews the scenery in a way that makes Brian Blessed look reserved.

    By all accounts The Boondock Saints is a “bad” movie but we all watched it when we were 12 and thought it was fucking awesome and still do.

    Equilibrium (2002) wasn’t well received when it came out. I think it’s still “bad” on RT but imdb has it at 7.3 now. I don’t care if gun-kata is silly and dumb, it looks cool as fuck.

        In the DVD commentary, the writer/director talked about how he’d had the basic idea, including gun kata, since high school. He could have been lying but I think he was honest and this was sort of a case of independent parallel ideas, since somebody turbo nerdy enough to come up with gun kata probably had influence from Hong Kong action movies that similarly influenced The Matrix.

        The action style and flow is much different than The Matrix, and while both plots are about fighting the system, Equilibrium is much more straight forwardly grabbing elements from classic dystopias.

          I don’t think that proves much besides marketing people slapping anything on a cover long after the movie was made.

    Velocipastor is an amazing bad movie that intended to be bad. There’s even a scene where a car explodes and it’s just some text that says “VFX of car exploding”

    It’s about a pastor that can turn into a velociraptor… When there’s gore it’s like obviously fake, like a head rolls off and it’s clear as day that it’s a mannequin head. It’s so bad it’s amazing.

    Oh yeah, and there are ninjas.

      They just released a remastered Blu-ray of it! I bought the disc, but I didn’t actually have a Blu-ray player, so idk if they did a good job with the remaster yet.

      It’s fantastic. They didn’t bother to make it “relatable” or “more realistic”, just “we’re literally doing, shot for shot, the anime as a movie, and fuck you if you don’t like it”. It’s shameless, joyful fun the entire way, and honestly more movies should embrace the camp and just run with it.

      See I never got that either. There is some kind of story about escapism and dealing with trauma in there, but it’s definitely second fiddle to the fact that you get to see badass ladies with samurai swords running a bunny mech through ww1 trenches and fighting giant samurai with a gatling gun. Sure it’s dumb, but so is Fast and Furious

        It’s a genius retelling of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. It’s also schlocky, pointless, fanservice-y action. It’s dumb and I kind of love it.

      the extended cut is a genuinely compelling narrative on top of the impressive variety of aesthetics & action sequences. folks are welcome to find it cringey and overdone but that’s a matter of taste. it’s a little too porny for me as a grown ass man but i thought it was great fun as a teen, go figure.

      the pg-13 theatrical cut was hot dog water that left the emotional climax of the film on the cutting room floor.

    Super Mario Bros. 1993. It is by far the movie that puts the biggest “fun” smile on my face, especially when watching it stoned. It’s so goofy in the best way and comes across as funny in a way that makes me have fun with it every time.

      the amount of slime in that movie makes it impossible for me to watch stoned. Like, if I got that slimey, while stoned, I would be freaking the fuck out. Great movie though. I still love John Luigi-zamo
