I think most of the contributors to this website are more interesting and likeable than many people I know in "real life."  I must be hanging around with the wrong crowd.   :bluesad:

We are a strange bunch that you don't find just hanging around, mate. I've been forced to deal with that.

Also, people don't tend to talk about such things as obsessions with bad movies because they think people will look at them funny. I certainly feel that way. So when I run into somebody who talks about a movie like Bad Ronald out of the blue I become excited. There's a guy I've worked with for two years and I just discovered he's into bad movies. He actually brought up Thankskilling at a meeting and I about fell out of my chair.
I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

I have the dubious distinction of clearly remembering watching BAD RONALD the first time it was on television.  I am now the proud owner of the Warner Brothers Archive version.

I remember BAD RONALD-my name's Ronald-I'm somewhat of an artist too....my dad started calling me that when he saw the movie on TV.
Oh yeah-he thought I was weird too.
He was right- :twirl:

See? Where else are you going to get two instant recognitions of Bad Ronald within less than two hours?

If too many of us were to be in the same location at once the space time continuum would collapse in on itself.

That or it would be a too tempting target for Menard to pass up.

This is probably the best forum on the whole internet and the people who come here are good people.

Most people are dumb. I guess people who enjoy bad films are of a higher intellect.  :twirl:

Make that three recognitions!  I too had seen it when it premiered on TV. Ronald Wilby was the guy's name, and he lived in the walls of his mom's hosue. I was around 9 or say, 10 when I'd first seen it.  I remember it was some what of a sad ending too.

But as was said earlier, the 70's films were reflecting of the atmosphere of the day.

As to the diverse crowd of people here:  Yeah, we have our moral\political\philosophical differences (as may have been seen more than once in the past) but at the root of our friendship is our collective love for all things bad and retro in movies, and the love of the bygone days we grew up in.

That's why I'm still here, because I can talk to almost anyone here about Toho's Frankenstein Conquers The World,  or the Shaw Brothers' Five Deadly Venoms and not have someone look at me like I have two heads, even though I do, lol

Badmovies rocks, and that's all there is to it!   :cheers: :thumbup: :cheers:

I just know somebody's going to read this and think, "Good people?  Bah.  Now I'm going to have to go set fire to orphans or something to prove him wrong!"

I've never seen the movie, but I know of it.

In spite of what I'm like here, I'm actually quite anti-social/socially awkward in real life.  I don't easily let people in because it seems like every time I do, they cr.ap all over me.  So I find internet friends are much better.

I love this site because everyone is interesting and accepting and you all have something of value to say.  Unlike anyone I know in real life.  In fact, I think I only know people who are self absorbed, boring idiots.

I struggle with relationships, even though I want nothing more than to have good, solid, happy loving ones.  Most especially with my darling Sean.  But it seems that the one I have with him is especially fraught with angst and trouble.

Anyway, here's :cheers: to my fellow bad movie lovers.  I'm happy to be counted in amongst the misfits and nutbags on this site.  You guys are my peeps now :teddyr:

I would actually like that to happen ~ all of us to meet, that is, not the space time continuum to go kablooiey.  :smile:
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

Okay.  I suggest we all meet at the mall around 6:00.
