Anyone else seen or read the book "Showgirls, Teen Wolves And Astro Zombies" by Michael Adams?

The caption on the front sums it up with "A film critics year-long quest to find The Worst Movie Ever Made."

I'm mostly through it at this point and it's hilarious.
Everything from "Robot Monster" and "Showgirls" to "The Navy Vs. The Night Terror" and other schlock cheese.

Well, I'm currently stationed in Guantanamo Bay and picked my copy up from the free books at the MWR Library.

However, the book came out this year from !T Books, a subsidy of HarperCollins Publishers.

Additional bonus? It has a foreword by George A. Romero and Michael Adams actually contacted a number of producers and directors who were still alive to ask them about their favorite bad film.
Replies range from the obvious classic of "Robot Monster" for how overall cheesy it is, to films like "Pirates Of The Caribbean 2 & 3" for their "Holy Insomnia Batman! When will this f**king movie end!?".

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
