Bad Movies / So-Bad-It’s-Good Movie Inducti...

Last post by claws - Today at 05:05:40 AM

Copilot came up with this bad movie forum game. Not saying we should play, just wondering what you think.

🎬 **THE DAILY HALL OF SHAME: So-Bad-It's-Good Movie Induction Game** 
Help us build the ultimate Top 50 list of the greatest *terrible* movies ever made!

---

## ⭐ **HOW TO PLAY (Daily Format)**

### **1. Nominate Movies Anytime**
- Anyone may nominate movies in the Nomination Pool thread.
- Movies must be "so bad they're good."
- No ultra-obscure films: must have at least *some* public presence (e.g., IMDb, Letterboxd).
- Duplicates are allowed; they simply show popularity.

The full nomination pool will always be visible and numbered.

---

## ⭐ **2. Each Day: We Select 5 Nominees**
To keep things fair and transparent, **players generate the randomness**.

**How it works:**
1. The host posts the full numbered nomination list.
2. The **first 5 players who reply** each post **one random number** between **1 and the pool size**.
3. Those 5 numbers correspond to the 5 movies of the day.
4. If someone repeats a number already chosen, the *next* player posts a replacement.

This ensures the host has zero influence over which movies appear.

---

## ⭐ **3. Daily Vote**
Once the 5 nominees are set, everyone votes for **ONE** movie:

> "My vote: ___"

Voting stays open until the next day's round begins.

---

## ⭐ **4. Daily Induction**
- The movie with the most votes is **inducted** into the Hall of Shame.
- It becomes part of the official Top 50 list.
- Its ranking is determined by **order of induction** (earlier = more iconic).
- The winning movie is removed from the nomination pool.
- The other 4 return to the pool and may appear again later.

---

## ⭐ **5. Goal**
We continue daily inductions until we reach **50 movies** in the Hall of Shame.

At the end, we'll have:
- A community-built 
- Transparent 
- Chaotic-but-fair 
- Definitive Top 50 "So Bad They're Good" Movie List

---

## ⭐ **Example Daily Round**

**Step 1:** Host posts the nomination list (e.g., 1–87). 
**Step 2:** First 5 players post numbers: 7, 14, 22, 31, 44. 
**Step 3:** Those movies become the nominees. 
**Step 4:** Everyone votes for their favorite disaster. 
**Step 5:** Winner is inducted as Entry #12 in the Hall of Shame.

---

## ⭐ **Notes**
- Lighthearted roasting is encouraged. 
- Serious film criticism is optional but appreciated. 
- Please keep the tone fun — this is a celebration of cinematic disasters.

---

🎉 **Let the daily chaos begin!**

Bad Movies / Re: 46th Annual Razzie Awards

Last post by zombie no.one - Today at 04:44:26 AM

haven't seen anything, but Stephen Dorff is not a name I'd expect to crop up in these awards

Or Dave Bautista or Ke Huy Quan

never heard of these 2, but I guess no one's immune to the Razmonster

I am sorry for not participating. nice idea it just all seems too long winded and ambitious for me. 

no offence to the esteemed Robert, but maybe if there were like 100 regular posters on here it would've panned out more effectively

Press Releases and Film News / Re: RIP Bruce Leung Siu-Lung.

Last post by Jim H - January 22, 2026, 09:07:18 PM

RIP. 

As a reminder, everyone should see the magnum opus from the early part of his career, The Dragon Lives Again.  You´ll never see another film like it, I promise you, and it recently got a miraculously high quality blu ray release.

OMG, is that him? The Dragon Lives Again is work of surpassing genius.

Yep.  He was one of the Bruce Lee clones in the 70s, his career puttered out in the late 80s, then he retired until Kung Fu Hustle, which was like a come back role, and he's acted periodically since, until his passing.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2

BONE LAKE (2024) - I went in to this one half expecting a "college kids getting butchered by a slasher at some wilderness camp" film; instead, I was treated to a fun, creepy romp that was vaguely reminiscent of SPEAK NO EVIL.
A young couple, Diego and Sage, have rented a bed and breakfast for a romantic weekend, only to find that another couple Will and Cin arrive just an hour after them, having rented the same home for the same weekend.  Since the house is quite large, they decide to share. It's fun at first, then things slowly start to slide south . . .

Definitely a fun watch with some nice twists along the way!  4/5

Few things make me angrier than when I hear someone call the domestic terrorists who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 "patriots."
