Title: Noob forum member -- Not a Robot.
Post by: RD on March 10, 2011, 12:53:06 PM
Hello,

I've been a long time reader of badmovies.org and have made a few anonymous comments on the reviews, but never registered an account.

I'm a film junkie, and it's nice to be a part of board that shares a love of cinematic garbage. Grew up on the out skirts of Pittsburgh, home of the Zombie. I'm a film school grad just starting to get my feet wet in the industry. I've had key positions on a few shorts, and have PA'd on a few indie B-movies and..."Tooth Fairy 2" a dtv sequel(Don't stone me.)

And I swear I am not a spambot programmed to sell high end shoes or golf clubs...
  :cheers:

Are you SURE this is not some forum based turing test?
How do you feel about squirrels?

Welcome out of the lurking closet... Its a good place. My name is Ed, I generally do monsters and spaceships on strings.

Why on earth would I stone you for working on Tooth Fairy 2? I've never seen it, but this is a bad movie site for crying out loud! You're more likely to get applause than stones, and if you are part of the industry I'm sure you would be more than welcome. If you like the site then I'm sure you'll like the forums.

Welcome.  :cheers:

I don't like squirrels and they don't like me. Once about two years ago I was walking outside and a squirrel ran out of branch and broke its fall on my head. It's war and they drew first blood.

@Flick James, Well I figured the audience of badmovies wouldn't react as well to a dtv kiddie flick as they would to say an HG Lewis gore fest.

First, welcome to the forums!  :cheers:

Second, you have no idea how many members will be disappointed to find out you're not a robot. 

Third, you should be proud of being a production assistant on TOOTH FAIRY.  Now, if you had announced you were the producer, stones would fly!

Welcome! Never seen TOOTH FAIRY 2-but I've sat through all sortsa drek. One of my favorite movies of all time is the HORRORS of SPIDER ISLAND-so who am I to judge?
(Just don't profess any love for ZARDOZ around a guy named Menard-he'll go ballistic!  :tongueout:)

TF2 or Tooth Fast Tooth Furious(not the real title, but it should be!), is still in production. It won't be out till around fall. Anyone with kids here will probably have to sit through it.

And Zardoz?? It's legendary, and it finally became an instant watch on Netflix, but I couldn't make it past 20 minutes.

It's 2011 already. Aren't we all supposed to have robots and jet packs by now?  :hatred:

Welcome, RD!

TOOTH FAIRY 2 sounds like something we can really sink our teeth into around here.

Several years ago I lent my house for the shooting of a low-budget horror movie, which shall remain nameless. I got be a victim in one scene and double for the lead and drive a very cool old car when he was unavailable (drunk?).

Here are some of the glowing imdb reviews, though:

The line reading (I refuse to call it acting) is uniformly awful. This is a collection of deadbeat dads and strippers pretending to be in a movie between cans of Schlitz. The camera work is drunken father shooting vacation film quality and while the special effects are okay the scariest effect is the breast augmentation scars in the nude scene.

The story is awful, the sets are from a haunted Halloween put on by ADHD middle school students and once again the line reading (remember this is not acting anymore than sinking to the bottom of a pool is swimming) is distracting beyond mere words. Avoid. 

The script sucks, and the performances are uniformly awful. Not ONCE will you get the feeling that these "actors" are paying attention to anything other than the cue cards that were doubtlessly being held off camera. (Just listen to the way one guy drones "Oh, baby...that feels so good" during a sex scene. Come on, if you can't even fake THAT convincingly, then there's no hope for you!) The characters spend so much time screaming and yelling at each other that I couldn't wait for the killer to wipe them all out just so they'd shut the hell up.

How tolerable are you Larry TheCableGuy's previous films?

Also Raffine, that is a hilarious review especially " Not ONCE will you get the feeling that these "actors" are paying attention to anything other than the cue cards that were doubtlessly being held off camera."

Ah, squirrels are decent. They are okay with me. The black squirrels are hard to scare around here, but gray and brown ones usually just run in fear from me. :wink:

Looking forward to seeing your flick on vimeo [its buffering as we speak.] Being a film student myself it's always good to see a few more in the industry bang on over here!

I don't trust him.

Sadly, that describes well over a dozen movies I've seen.
