GERTIE THE DINOSAUR (1914):
This is pioneering animation (and, like ALICE above, a live-action/animated hybrid) so I feel bad putting it in the "Bad" section. I gotta' call 'em as I see 'em, though! The backstory of GERTIE is (a little) more interesting than the film itself. Made by LITTLE NEMO cartoonist Windsor McKay, it was initially 100% animation of Gertie, a gentle-natured brontosaurus who would respond to offscreen instructions from McKay, appearing live during screenings and interacting w/ the film. That's a cool performance thing that we in the Thee-AY-tur call "mediatized"........ I myself have done a bunch of mediatized performances where I create videos (usually of myself playing other characters) and then interact w/ the videos live onstage. So good for McKay, and this likely would've been fun to see McKay do in person 112 years ago.

Unfortunately, the curmudgeonly Randolph Heart (who had McKay under contract at his newspaper syndicate) found out that McKay was making unsanctioned live appearances for his own profit and shut that $#!t down, quick.  Apparently making movies wasn't forbidden by McKay's contract, though, so McKay went back and shot some (dull) scenes of him demonstrating his live act for rich colleagues at a party. You totally lose the effect when McKay cuts away from Gertie to an intertitle of his instruction.  And, honestly, Gertie herself isn't the greatest animation you've ever seen. In fact you'll see work that's just as good or better in any 100-level college animation class screening. So unless you're a student of animation - you could skip this one.    1.5/5

My aunt was a theatre director and professor who took acting classes in the late 70s with Tracy Pollan (aka Mrs. Michael J. Fox), who at that time was dating Kevin Bacon, thus my aunt knew him, too. He was really excited about making his big break in this movie FRIDAY THE 13TH. According to my aunt, all his friends were embarrassed for him when it came out.

😳😆😂

It was banned here sadly.

Not a personal connection for me as such, but Kristi is friends with someone who played a Goblin in Troll 2, and who ended up with a stalker because of it. Despite this, her friend did agree to sign my DVD of it if we ever meet in person.

The 'sex' scene in Gamerz was recorded in a shop in Glasgow I used to frequent, called Hellfire. It's now an art gallery. It's also just a few doors up from where I joined the RAF and across the road from the statue of the Duke of Wellington that always has a traffic cone on it.

JEBEDIAH'S AXE was filmed near one of my favorite arrowhead hunting spots on a nearby lake.

Ah well. There's a lot of "grinders" produced around Buffalo these days. Legendary Bad horror movie director Fred Olen Ray moved out here some years ago and now cranks out nothing but Hallmark-type holiday and/or romance movies. The latest one starred Tony Danza and Mario Lopez, which got people quite excited.  I don't know why I've never mentioned the Fred Olen Ray thing before - maybe because I'll never watch any of these holiday/romance movies.

I've only watched this three times but I love it. It's beautiful and classy but also brutal and gory at the same time. I think that odd mixture is what makes it unpopular, but it works for me.

I just found this one and had to share it.  It looks less like a movie and more like a lowbudget budget Playstation 1 game. 

Seriously.  Check this out.  I can already tell that there is no way I could sit through actually watching a full length movie of this.

In case that doesn't show up right....

This looks like one of those 1800 video games if they discovered video games back there. This doesnt even look like a movie.
