http://m.phys.org/news/2016-08-survey-reveals-highly-audiences-trash.html

So-called 'trash films' do not stand in opposition to taste and education. Quite the contrary, they are often watched by people with an above-average education and interest in culture... Furthermore, the study provided strong evidence that trash film fans are predominantly male – almost 90 percent of the participants indicated that they are men – and highly enthusiastic film buffs. "To such viewers, trash films appear as an interesting and welcome deviation from the mainstream fare", says Sarkhosh. "We are dealing here with an audience with above-average education, which one could describe as 'cultural omnivores'. Such viewers are interested in a broad spectrum of art and media across the traditional boundaries of high and popular culture." Indeed, that an appreciation of trash films is coupled with strong preferences for art cinema is one of the central findings of the study.

Well it does take alot of intelligence to try and argue about the value of movies like Zardoz, Plan 9 and Killer Klowns from Outer space.

If this is true, then something truly wonderful happened to me in 1973 when friends of my folks took me (aged 6) to see Lost Horizon.  Buggedout Buggedout

I thought Masters was closing?  Wink

Edited to add: Sorry Indy, for some weird reason I thought dean wrote this comment.  Dean is in Melbourne, and Masters is a huge Australian chain hardware store like Lowes in the States.  After a few years of competing with another huge hardware chain, Masters has losts millions of dollars and is going into liquidation.

    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.
