"Get in the pool, Ben can't swim!" Okay, we might be crossing a line here.
He can swim, but one symptom of rabies is a fear of water. That was what kept him out of the pool.

Last post by lester1/2jr - May 19, 2026, 04:58:04 PMBlood Rage (1987) - Big swing and a miss on this one. Besides of the impressive gore effects, Blood Rage falls pretty flat. It kind of makes me appreciate other horror movies more because it shows how even if you have all the elements in place, it's not necessarily going to work.
The opening scene is good and should have been the whole movie instead of a flashback. The rest basically just has the wrong tone and isn't scary or fun (okay, maybe it's kind of fun). It's got a bad case of MST3K disease and there's no doctor in the house. One ridiculous and memorable aspect is how, in an effort to show how insanity runs in the family (I guess?), the Mom of the killer guy is portrayed at every possible opportunity as massively deranged herself.
Blood Rage has a sky high 93% Google user rating. I can't really imagine why, maybe it was shown on cable a lot. To paraphrase the Smashing Pumpkins though: despite all my rage, I did watch it in one night. The title actually make sense because it's about two brothers and of course the crazy Mom so it's "Blood" like blood is thicker than water blood.
3.25 /5 between this and "Scream for Help", I'm starting to think maybe youtube isn't the best place to go for anything besides raunchy reggaeton videos and pizza reviews.

Last post by M.10rda - May 19, 2026, 10:37:01 AMQuote from: Rev. Powell on May 02, 2026, 09:08:54 AMRifftrax: Twilight:
yeah, it's as bad as you imagined, maybe even worse. Full of plot holes and continuity errors (though not nearly as much sparkling as I'd heard), and of course you never would have guessed that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson would eventually go on to become GOOD actors... I blame director Catherine Hardwicke for misdirecting these youngsters. (Anna Kendrick also appears; though playing a teenager, she's 23, so you don't have to feel so pervy for noticing she's hot as hell.) Fortunately, Rifftrax rescues this teen romance mess, having a lot of fun with the awkward pauses. 3.5/5 (Rifftrax version)
RIFFTRAX: TWILIGHT (2008):
We had somehow/coincidentally been planning to watch this even prior to Rev's review.
Madame 10RDA watches the entire TWILIGHT series about once every two-to-three years. Fortunately the sheen (sic) may have worn off the original/vanilla versions and now the Rifftrax are required for further reps. 
Although I appreciate the inclination towards holding Catherine Hardwicke responsible for this trainwreck, she has done good work elsewhere and more importantly - if you've only ever seen the first TWILIGHT - the next four films get progressively and significantly worse.
It's true. I've now seen TWILIGHT Chapter One three times - the first two sans riffs - and at least it kind of resembles a Real Movie, if an often puzzling and silly one. The rest of the series is unwatchable and I'm not even confident that Riffs will make it possible to digest.There are some funny riffs here (particularly the one about Animal and Dr. Teeth) but TWILIGHT might be Fun/Bad enough to even entertain Badfilm fans w/o the riffs. Here are some weird/interesting/amusing things I appreciate (quote-unquote) about TWILIGHT even notwithstanding the efforts of the 'Trax trio:
* I actually think Robert Pattinson gives a decent Pattinsonian performance, which is to say "oddball" - if one keeps in mind that he's playing a 100+ year old pedophile who wants to do or eat teenage Kristin Stewart, or both, even though she makes him chronically nauseous. (The riffs even characterize his performance as Walkenesque at one point, which is fair.) His character "Edward Cullen" is bizarre and distasteful, but that ain't Pattinson's fault.
* Stewart, however, is terrible in this and makes me nauseous, too. Why can't she cut out the rapid blinking during every third line-reading? Is it Tourettes? Honestly the only Stewart performance I've liked was in PERSONAL SHOPPER so maybe she's usually a mess. Also it appears as if she doesn't understand ketchup and has never applied it to food before.
* Yeah, the vampires sparkle in daylight but moreover they can only play baseball during thunderstorms.
Why??? * Edi Gathegi (Mr. Terrific from Gunn's SUPERMAN) plays one of the vampires. Head vampire Peter Facinelli looks like a wax sculpture of himself. Vampire Jackson Rathbone looks stoned out of his mind on 'luudes (and apparently has attracted a cult following for this performance). Vampire Ashley Greene has insanely long/nice legs.
* It took me a long time to warm up to Anna Kendrick (I prefer her in comedies over dramas or musicals) and don't think she looks "hot as hell" here (though to each their own!). I do think she looks perpetually confused about what she's doing in this movie and in this series and about her character's circumstances in every single (inconsequential) scene in which she appears. She would blow up shortly after this was released and yet was locked into the rest of the series and hilariously her (human) character never does anything important or interesting IIRC for the next three movies.
* Gil Birmingham from "Yellowstone" plays the wheelchair-bound uncle or grandfather or something of the kid who becomes the werewolf rival to Pattinson in the next movie. I think Birmingham is in the other movies too but his character isn't a werewolf, I think, but darn it, a paraplegic werewolf in a wheelchair is a great idea for a Bad Movie!
Also there's Radiohead and Muse on the soundtrack, so 3/5....... at best, w/ riffs, but again the series doesn't get better than this.

...Ryan Reynolds narrates the long, bumpy history of DC Comics, from its humble 1930s beginnings as National Periodical Publications, a publisher of saucy pulp magazines, to the current multi-media powerhouse that's home to Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and countless other iconic characters. A very cool documentary loaded with nerd trivia.
