No matter how hard one may try. :laugh: Though I have to say, having a Dr. Strangelove reference was surprising.

I think there's only a couple of films I'm planning on sharing here that I actually dislike and would say are bad films. The ones I do dislike are absolutely horrible to behold in any sense just because they fail to entertain on any level at all. Like The Stuff for example, very well done bit of schlock. It's clearly got a lot of love put into it. The acting crew clearly enjoyed their work, however amateurish they may have been at times and there's a clear love of the genre involved. It's all about how much fun was had making the film really. When the crews clearly had fun making it, it's going to be entertaining to the intended audience.
I mean, as the review for Vampire Motorcycle says:
"Rating this film seems pointless, because it’s appeal is going to be so starkly limited. In the world of b-movies, there really are no shades of grey. Either you’re the type of person who thinks a film where a vampire motorcycle carves a bloody swathe across Birmingham and Neil Morrissey is choked by a talking lump of shit is one of the best things they’ve ever heard of, or you’re not."

I can totally dig it. I'm fond of The Stuff, even as I want to bop it on the nose with a newspaper sometimes.

There are also those people who enjoy schlock films for really fucking creepy reasons. Rabid Fangoria readers regularly get into this territory.
There is not much more disapointing for me than when I think you've met someone who I can nerd out about schlock and I mention a scene and they... get weird about it. I'm not sure how to describe it really.

You mean like talking to anyone who REALLY REALLY LIKED Cannibal Holocaust?
