he gave us this wonderful web. Thank you and happy birthday

I thought that was Al Gore. IS THERE NOTHING ANDREW CANNOT DO???

Mr. DS · August 11, 2007, 11:03:23 AM

I heard Andrew once single handedly fended off an attack from Skeletor, Megatron & Cobra Commander all at once with one swipe of his mighty blade.

In all honesty heres why I like the man of the hour;

Badmovies.org was the first site I ever encountered bad movie reviews on. Andrew posted two of my reviews (Clown At Midnight, Demonic Toys) which also played a part in inspiring me to open DarkSider's Realm. His constant work ethic in the bad movie community is a thing of amazement. As a webmaster I can say he is also one of the most selfless individuals I've ever met. He is always willing to help other sites out and has done tons to pull together our little counter culture.

Happy B-Day Andrew Cheers to you good sir

He doesn't take s*** off of anybody, which is what drew me to this website in the first place.

Happy birthday, Andrew.

Andrew parried the blow like this chick from the same flick. . .

He identified the movie's genre (thus proving he knows his bad movies) without identifying the movie (it is really bad) thus distancing himself from the stigma of association with it.

BRILLIANT!

Only He could do such a thing.

Those shots aren't from THE LOST EMPIRE, are they? Similar type film, but I don't remember the Lightsaber-thingies.

Actually, I remembered a clear shower in either "Dead Space" or "Mutant" and thought that the screencap looked more like the production values of the prior. My next guess is "Princess Warrior." You do watch a lot of low budget and ridiculous science fiction films. So either would fit.

Just gotta love those silly science fiction films. I know that I do.

And, yes, you all - I very much appreciate the kind words, but this thread makes me feel kinda funny. I always have hoped that the site would help people remember lost films, find something new that they would like, or steer them away from the certain disaster of films like "Sextette." Egad, what if some cutting edge director remade that film as "S3xt3tt3!" and it was filled with hackers, and spies, and a CGI Mae West that was 130 years old?

Kester is too busy distracting me with pictures of a distracting nature that I think I've forgotten the point of this thread.

And my own name...

Damn...

Sorry, Andrew, trust us South Africans to be behind with everything!

Happy birthday, good sir!!!

I don't know, seems your skull reviews often have the opposite effect. Can't tell you how many times I've been tempted to seek out and watch Pigs. I actually caught some of Sextette on television a few years ago. I tried, but gave up after a few minutes. In my defense, they were singing.

Neville · August 13, 2007, 10:48:28 AM

I have to agree this kind of stuff often has the opposite effect than intended. I attend several other message boards, and when in one of them I told people not to watch "House of the Dead" linking to a review showing animated GIFs of all its badness, the result was a thread dedicated solely to Uwe Boll's opus.

So what you are saying is that I should never make a VD prevention film that tells people how painful gonorrhea and chlamydia are?

I do hear that really bad reviews always make people interested if it really is that bad of a movie. One of my favorite reader comments is on "Sextette."

Quote
Upon reading the one-line summary on the reviews page, my first thought was 'male chauvinist pig... Sean Connery's at least 80, and he's sexier now than he ever was as James Bond.' I mentioned this is a friend of mine, also a bad movie fan, who agreed with me, and we set out to find a copy of the movie so that unbiased (read: female) eyes could take a look at it.

Hooo, boy, were we sorry.

The comment goes on for a bit longer and finishes with:

Quote
That's our theory, anyway... it's the only way we can possibly imagine this movie having turned out the way it did. And we take back all the pig stuff.

Now you're just showing off.

You should do a review of Princess Warrior. The first, what is it, 8 minutes aren't that bad. Too bad the film makers gave up trying after that.
