'Cause bad books are just boring, where as bad movies can be a feast for the eyes and ears!!  Smile 

I liked the TV miniseries THE LANGOLIERS (is that right?  Question)  I did like the novella and movie equally well.  I thought they did a decent job with THE STAND (and I loved that book).

Fahrenheit 451 - although I do like the film, it just doesn't have the energy the book does.

I... can't really think of many others at the moment.

    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.
