...this may be a new uncharted low in bad movie making. anyone seen it?

the ashes of a killer who went to the electric chair are mixed with an old gingerbread recipie then sent to a bakery where blood is accidentally spilled on them to spark the reincarnation of the killer as...you guessed it...a gingerbread man.

 Shockingly bad film...I needed 2 days to recover from this abomination.

I don't care how bad it is, and with Busey it means bad, but that just looks like a riot!

OMG!!! Gary Busey, what have you done? I know you always had a penchant for bad movies (like the 80s actioners "Act of Piracy" or "Bulletproof"), but not that long ago you where working with Terry Gilliam and Sidney Pollack. Dou you need the money that badly?


Title: Best tagline ever?

"Evil Never Tasted So Good!" is possibly a new high for awful, hilarious tagline.  Probably the only one that I find is as funny are the variations on "This time, it's personal".

Hmm... So far, so good... And yet, so evil!

This time, it's even more personal than it was the last two times!

Sorry. Had to let that out.

Gary Busey recently played a Jew doctor who eviscerates living Muslim soldiers for salable organs in a Turkish war film, so yeah, the guy has absolutely no shame or morals at all.

He played a good guy in Predator 2 and even died a heroic death saving Danny Glover, so he has had roles that showed his tender peace loving humanitarian side.  Well, it does if  you ignore the fact that he was trying to kill the predator with a flame thrower or something like that....

Is he even sane enough at this point to discern a "morality" to his film choices? Or is he he using the John Carradine method of picking films: does it pay, I got to feed the kids and pay the bills. Or is it the Klaus Kinski method: Where is it filming and who pays the most?

The last things I've seen him in were "Celelbrity Fit Club" on VH-1 where I figured he was playing to the camera, that idiotic "I'm with Busey" fanboy wank session, and some direct to video film where he was a serial killer being followed by an investigative reporter. There was a scene where Gary makes the reporter kill a drag queen, he was chewing major scenery then, made an icky scene in a bad film even ickier.

Makes me yearn for the Busey of  "Barbarosa", "The Buddy Holly Story", "Under Siege" and "The Firm". When he seemed to still be on planet Earth.

Don't have anything against his morality. I mean, why shouldn't he play whoever he whishes, even if it's not PC? Hell, I'm a leftwing, so I should throw all my John Wayne movies out of the window if I applied such standards to my movie-viewing.

This said, yes, he's become a hack.

I was questioning his sanity, as some have in recent years, more than his personal beliefs. I remember seeing him on religious shows and channels in the US like "The 700 Club" and TBN, but being non-religious and skeptical I was wondering if it was genuine, just a phase, or a cynical attempt to shore up his career by showing he had changed after his drug problems and motorcycle crash.

Gingerdead Man sounds like an aging actor holding his nose and paying the bills, like Mickey Rooney, or Joseph Cotten, or tons of other names we could think of. The film Peter Johnson mentioned just seems to be crossing a line that a possibly still practicing Christian, someone concerned about being thought of as anti-Semitic, an actor not wanting to burn bridges in an industry with a large Jewish contingent, or someone with a sense of shame would not want to cross. Maybe Busey is none of these, maybe he can't afford to turn down anything these days, maybe I'm projecting my own qualms onto him; but it also sounds like a man not entirely able to discern right from wrong or the consequences of associating yourself with a film like that.

He didn't seem to be aware that he was being mocked during an episode of Penn and Teller's 'Bulls**t'.......

They were looking into Alcoholics Anonymous, intent on exposing how it is A: a religious organization and B: totally ineffective, or at least no more effective than trying to quit drinking on your own.
