This Thanksgiving Weekend in NYC, see Bad Movies on a big screen and heckle with comedians at the...
The 2nd Annual
*BAD MOVIE CLASS FILM FESTIVAL*
This is NOT a show, this is a class. Each of these 7 films will feature a noted historian giving a lesson on why these cinematic explorations are so important. Also in the audience will be comedians from the improv, sketch, and standup world.
There is an opening lecture and critique, but it doesn’t end there. While the movie plays, students are encouraged to make vocal observations. These 7 classes will feature some of the strangest attempts at storytelling in human history. (sort of like a mix between Mystery Science Theater 3000 and a college level Film History class)
The high point of the weekend will feature “The Lesson of TROLL 2.” This movie is the pinnacle of poor filmmaking. The movie features absolutely no Trolls, only goblins. The films has received such comments on
www.imdb.com like “total crap”, “HORRIBLE”, “a movie that by all physical laws of the universe, should simply not exist.” Troll 2 is hands down the worst movie ever made.
There are other classes of note: “The Lesson of Death Drug”, a rarely seen film about the drug PCP starring Philip Michael Thomas (Miami Vice) that features a 5 minute music video by Thomas for no reason, “The Lesson of Robot In The Family”, a childrens movie filled with racism”, and “The Lesson of Alien Warrior”, a movie where a white alien comes to earth and is the son of God. There will be free pizza at the Saturday Nov 27th 11pm class.

Schedule For The BAD MOVIE CLASS Festival 2005
FRIDAY Nov 25th
7pm The Lesson of Alien Warrior (1985)
An alien being is sent to Earth from his home planet with the assignment of stopping Great Evil. Great Evil turns out to be Mr. One, a Black drug dealer with a gang of Hispanic minions, whose hobby is raping White women. The alien, who decides to use the name Buddy on Earth, makes it his personal mission to rescue all the White people he can find, while putting an end to Mr. One's life of crime.
9pm The Lesson of Death Drug (1978)
A young man in Los Angeles dreams of striking it big as a singer in the music business. One day he gets signed to a big record contract, but along with the fame and money he develops an addiction to the drug PCP. Phillip Micheal Thomas (Miami Vice) intros and outros the film, and his ramblings make you wonder if he has indeed succumbed to PCP himself. The (clearly made in the 1980’s) music video makes no sense being in the middle of the movie. A must see!
11pm- The Lesson of Rock N’ Roll Nightmare (1987)

The night he tries to steal Mandroid, he becomes exposed to the highly toxic Superconn. But he can flee and won't give up on Mandroid, even though he's terribly disfigured.
