Spontaineous Romance.

It just gets on my nerves...
Ahhhh... the romance between Joe Spinell and Caroline Munro in Maniac (1980) is probably the best example of this, I think.

I went with scenes that have nothing to do with the film.  A lot of times with low budget movies, it seems like they've got a 45 minute screenplay and try to stretch it out to feature length by padding it out with any random junk they can come up with.  Usually I suppose they could use the excuse that they're developing the characters, but no characters ever seem to get developed.  Anyhow, it just makes a boring movie into something truly mind-numbingly dull.

    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.
