Ah well. There's a lot of "grinders" produced around Buffalo these days. Legendary Bad horror movie director Fred Olen Ray moved out here some years ago and now cranks out nothing but Hallmark-type holiday and/or romance movies. The latest one starred Tony Danza and Mario Lopez, which got people quite excited.  I don't know why I've never mentioned the Fred Olen Ray thing before - maybe because I'll never watch any of these holiday/romance movies.

I've only watched this three times but I love it. It's beautiful and classy but also brutal and gory at the same time. I think that odd mixture is what makes it unpopular, but it works for me.

I just found this one and had to share it.  It looks less like a movie and more like a lowbudget budget Playstation 1 game. 

Seriously.  Check this out.  I can already tell that there is no way I could sit through actually watching a full length movie of this.

In case that doesn't show up right....

This looks like one of those 1800 video games if they discovered video games back there. This doesnt even look like a movie.

After teaching about the Gilded Age over the last few class days, I decided to watch DEATH BY LIGHTNING again.
It's the true story of James Garfield and the man who killed him.  Brilliant, well-acted, and highly accurate with a thin overlay of dramatic license.

SLC PUNK is an earnest movie w/ some good scenes and supporting performances. I imagine 90s Matthew Lillard was pretty insufferable.

Rev, should we all watch PAYDAY?

No. Not a "good" bad movie, just a low-budget grinder for Tubi. Everyone was very sincere and I made friends on the set, but the final product was nothing to brag about.

ALICE CANS THE CANNIBALS (1925):
My second "Alice" short - these were proto-SONG OF THE SOUTH live-action/animated hybrids from Walt Disney. Alice is a little girl w/ a helpful Krazy Kat-esque cat friend and they have wacky adventures. This one, alas, takes them to an island of "cannibals", who are possibly as racist as you would expect them to be though no moreso, at least.  The cannibals all look like Homer Simpson if he tried to smoke an exploding cigar. I dunno, I watched one of these a year ago and thought it was fine, so maybe it's just the cannibals that bummed me out a little here. The animation is nothing special. As in other silent shorts I've seen recently, characters get  stabbed in the @$$. At least nothing bad happens to the cat!     2.5/5

Imagine your life is so uninteresting that you are reduced to stalking someone who played a Goblin in TROLL 2....... not stalking Nicole Kidman or Beyonce or Ryan Gosling or a Kardashian even... no, you're driven to stalk an extra who appeared in a relatively obscure horror movie in monster makeup.

I hope you get that signature someday, though!v

Part of me half expects to find out it was the woman who played the mother. I saw a documentary about Troll 2, including interviews with the cast. She did not come off as being a very stable person.

Oh Kristi also knows several of the actors in SLC Punk, although they warned her never to watch it and I've not seen it myself but I have met at least one of the actors from it (all I can remember of him is his first name though, Russ), and he said Matthew Lillard was a total jerk.

I appear in this movie that has a 3.7 IMDb rating: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6250554/

congrats... 1hr45mins, hence the Oscar snub.
