Hello!  I think shirts are a great idea!  I wanted to add my 2 cents in on lessons learned that would be shirt appropriate.

Brains can be used like a stress ball, but only once (Lexx: I worship his shadow)

Catatonic grandparents are only biding their time, waiting for a chance to traumatize the children when you aren't looking (Silent Night, Deadly Night-- one of my all time fav movies!!)

I was also wondering if you are always accepting reader reviews, becuz I am itching to write one, just trying to find the appropriate movie.  

Also, if anyone is in Bloomington, IN (or surrounding areas) Plan 9 video, has an AWESOME selection of bad movies and the owner will converse with you about good bad movies.  (It's on Kirkwood across from the Trojan horse)

I have to admit that I love the idea.  My wife just groaned, but then she'll probably want one too.

Now the logistics of collecting the money and shipping the shirts may be an issue.

Here are a couple of my favorite "lessons" that haven't been mentioned:

"Nobody ever listens to the wiseman." (Army of Darkness)

"Queen made at least one pact with the devil." (Flash Gordon)

"Never p**s off the guy holding the Electric Knife" (Rocky Horror Picture Show)


I do suspect that it is going to be hard to pick the best lessons for the shirts.

Sure am, just receiving more than I can possibly post - so I have to make difficult decisions.

I have some ideas to make it feasible.  I can, of course, take MO and checks mailed to my Badmovies.org post office box.  Also, I have a PayPal account.  Last, but not least, Amazon.com has their ZShops, which would be a great way to make things easy for anyone who wants to pay with a credit card.

Shipping is not a problem.  You can buy large bundles of padded envelopes at Office Depot.

Hopefully I will have a course of action worked out by next weekend, have to check out some business in the area that do shirts.  What I will do is make "runs" of each Lesson Learned.

My husband and I both love the idea. Plus we agree they need to be a bit longer in length.
Some of my favorite lessons are:

In the future sexual gratification is achieved by taking a pill and holding hands. (My thoughts exactly...)
Public suicide chambers need to be clearly marked
Having some woman smoke me in a bong is the stuff nightmares are made of-BARBARELLA  


If today's church service involves roasting kids alive you might want to leave your daughter at home. -THE BEASTMASTER

Aliens with bird like ships should stay well clear of Earth during duck season. Especially you, yeah you, darn Romulans
Four star generals should not use the phrase, "I'm barely holding my fudge." -THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI ACROSS THE 8TH DIMENSION (One of my husbans favorite films, god help me)

Women are much less attractive when they are talking about a pimple on their ass.
Girls - Never turn turn your head abruptly when someone is applying lipstick to you.
 Cops leave their cars unlocked with keys in the ignition-C.H.U.D.

I'd be wary of padded envelopes. Having worked for a business from teh shipping end the us. mail rips up and damages alot of mail. You can buy cheaper in bulk from ULINE than office depot and if you wanna charge a flat rate of shipping (say $4-5) then that would cover the expense of shipping priority (in which case you can use their boxes for free at their basic rate at about $3.90) Then buy some wrap like bubble wrap cheap to carefully wrap the contents within the box. They have various size boxes. Just a suggestion. I wouldn't trust a flimsy padded envelope for my life from past experience.

[Andrew]

I see a very good idea here.  Why not have two or three lessons on each shirt?  The price is going to be the same, since they charge you a flat rate for the silk screening.

I will also look into a lighter color, like a gray or light green, for everyone in hotter places.

Thank you Callysto and Mofo!  And thanks to everyone who has suggested lessons.  I had forgotten about some of them, must be getting old...

I can vouge for Andrew in the design department. He has original ideas and can put them to good use on a t-shirt.

[Flangepart]

Well, its offical....we want T's! I'd like green on white for summer, and green on black for winter. Also, would you have a Marine patch to recomend with some T's, like for a Marine charity with phone number? Or would that be tacky? I know a B-movie kindd of guy who's Dad and Bro are Marines, and it might be a nice extra.

What a GREAT idea!! I'd stand in line for one or two...or.....

 I'd be interested, sure. Just out of curiosity, is there some legal reason that you couldn't put quotes from the movies on the shirts? I like the lessons idea, I'm just wondering.

i like the "attack of the killer klowns" listed above..."special effects need not be so special."

i also like:

 I would be proud to wear a T based on this site, all my shirts are for crappy punk bands, and they're falling to pieces, so I need new shirts any way.
 Also I have learned many things from visiting this site regularly. Among them, I'm not the only b-movie freak around (I"m okay....You're okay). And secondly, Staff NCO's have a sense of humor (at least one does). Can't wait for the shirts!!
 And another thing..I think all of Susans ideas for Lessons Learned were FRIGGIN HYYYlarious!!!
