RECENT VIEWINGS (Bad Movie Thread!)

[Rev. Powell]

OK, back on the Joe Christ horse:

"Acid is Groovy Kill the Pigs": A meth addict buys acid because his dealer has no meth, eats the entire blotter, then, I guess, goes on a killing spree and interviews other serial killers he knows. The "pigs" of the title aren't cops, they're everyone who isn't a serial killer. The only halfway good scene is death by puppy. I was tempted to give this 1 star just because it shows improvement over the last 3 Christ films, but c'mon... it's 0.5/5.

"Sex Blood and Mutilation": This is actually a documentary on body piercing and mutilation. Christ introduces it while dressed as a priest and holding a chihuahua. Subjects include Genesis P-Orridge, whose penile and scrotal piercings we see way too much of, a porn director whose dominatrix girlfriend pierces him with needles, a tattooed man who drives a nail through his tongue, and a guy who's voluntarily had his penis removed (skeptical about this one, as his commentary was delivered in altered voiceover--his claim that he now has 5 orgasms a day is laughable, and it could well be someone who his organ to cancer). Christ claims these people are more than freakshows but never offers much insight as to why they do it. In the end Christ puts the dog in a bad and swings it against the wall--almost certainly faked, but it's a convincing trick. Still, it doesn't help his "this is not a freakshow" case. Just because I feel sorry for him and it does contain some real (not badly staged) shock footage... 1/5.

M.10orda, if "Acid is Groovy" was the only one you saw... you're lucky. It's actually the BEST of the fictional ones!
