A good bad movie is like popcorn for the soul!

I think Andrew's line about 70's porn . . .  "a fuzzy python wrestling a shag carpet" - made me laugh harder than anything I've ever read online.

I've been coming to this site for longer than I can remember (then again, I do have a lousy memory) and every time I come, there's something interesting to read or watch. Its gotten me through so many long days, and I can't thank Andrew enough for what he's done here.

How could you not feel anything but appreciation for a Marine who runs a website that brings together so many different people under a common interest.  And I know it's been said before-but badmovies.org is one of the friendliest message boards I know.

Yeah and Andrew frequently makes my belly shake BounceGiggle with laughter with his reviews which puts him in esteemed company with John Ritter as Jack Tripper, Just For Laughs Gags, Fawlty Towers, Red Dwarf, Mr. Lobo and Rik Mayall & Adrian Edmonson.

Had Andrew never created this site, I would've never learned to appreciate the work of such directors like Ed Wood, John Carl Buechler, Charles Band, the list goes on. The reviews and interviews on Badmovies.org always kept me interested and I always came back for more.

God bless you Andrew, you are the best.  Cheers

I've got a few forums I like to visit: Atariage, Nevadagoldsports, and this one.  I criminally neglect the other ones but I'm somehow drawn to this one.  Smile

Andrew's review of Billy Jack led me here when I was looking for info on that film. I came, I saw, I stayed.

I always found Andrew's reviews enjoyable in general. The review format on this site is concise and well organized, with the character introductions, relatively brief commentary, various highlights, silly dialogue, images and so forth. Very readable, whether you want to sit down and enjoy the whole thing or just give it a quick browse. Also easy to go back and find specific information.

This board is also the only one I've joined on any topic that has been consistently worth reading and posting on.

Andrew is kind of the invisible presence on this board. No small feat, since he is the reason that this board exists in the first place. In fact, the continual existence of this website is due to Andrew's dedication to what is a labor of love. I wouldn't ever try to hide my admiration of Gunnery Sergeant Borntreger. When I think my life is getting a little bit busy and hectic, I can always look back to all the actual projects he works on and accomplishes every day.

Badmovies.org is a side project for Mr. Borntreger, and I think it is a testament that it has managed to become one of the finest collection of cinematic minds on the internet. The fact that he keeps this webpage alive in the midst of what is a very busy life, I can only applaud that and wonder what reserves he's working on to make that happen.

Then again, the things his brain puts down in writing make me laugh. Oh, I admire his work ethic, but I come back because he makes me laugh out loud.

You can't fake that.

I'm sorry for being scarce, and much appreciate the kind words here.

Between work and family I'm usually so busy that just doing the site admin (server side stuff) takes up my available time.  Well, along with email, though I'm not even keeping up with answering half of them lately.

It didn't help that Garrett was sick last week, I shoved snow from 0630 to 1600 last Thursday, and then Garrett woke us up at 0500 on Friday with jellied blood and mucus coming from his nose, mouth, and ear.  Actually, Katie woke me up when she was woken by the little one and saw him clearly.

He's fine now.  He had a quiet little sinus infection that didn't show symptoms besides a low fever and sleeping more than normal.  When his eardrum ruptured from the pressure everything drained (the vacuum holding it all in was gone).  Hence, he looked like something out of a horror film.  He's on antibiotics and already acting like a normal 3 year old.

I am working on a review for "Mega Piranha."  Hopefully I'll be able to finish it this week!
