Okay, everybody! I've been talking about doing this for ages, so I figure that this might be a good time to go ahead and do it!

That's right, I'm talking Bad Movie Night! The only problem is that there are so many bad movies that I didn't want to make it only my decision about which bad movie reigns supreme. So that's where everyone else comes in.

What's the worst movie you've ever seen in your entire life? Preferably PG-13, I want this to be a Trench-wide event and I know we've got kids. Also, that disqualifies The Room, a truly shitty movie, but no one needs to have Tommy Wiseau's...anything inflicted upon them.

So, go go go! Let's hear about these shitty movies and why you think it deserves center stage on Bad Movie Night!

((OOC: Bad Movie Night log will go up on the 14th))

Do we count Twilight as a bad movie? Because I kind of do. [ Sharon has found that she does actually enjoy a good bad movie every now and again. ]

[thisislife]

[Lexi gives a slow grin] ...it absolutely does. Even though the shittiest of the bunch were the ones for Breaking Dawn, but nobody has time for four hours of bullshit and creepy CGI baby.

I want to entertain people, not traumatize them for life!

[fogsong]

Oh, come on, the baby wasn't... [ She giggles under her breath, grin lopsided. ] I mean, it was— It's just not that traumatizing. Just a little bit, you know?

[ But Sharon also thinks the creepy CGI baby is... ugly cute. Nightmarishly ugly cute. ]

(CW: severely underage, SMeyer, what were you THINKING?]

[thisislife]

[Lexi nearly barks with laughter] Oh, c'mom, it was! I finished watching those movies and decided I was never gonna give birth, ever! Because what if I wound up with a precocious hellspawn my BFF fell in love with at first sight! What. Then?

[hearuthinking]

What the fuck is Twilight? [It's not his fault he's from 2003]

[thisislife]

Vapid teenage girl falls in love with an equally vapid vampire and the two of them ruin everyone's lives but theirs. They're peachy! Which kinda sums it up.

[hearuthinking]

[He takes a minute to process this]

This was a movie?

That people watched?

On purpose?

[fogsong]

The best film junk food to exist. It's the most hilarious, whacked-out take on vampires you will ever see. They fucking sparkle, Jason! Sparkle! It's cheesy, it's over-the-top, and it's got lines that make me laugh every time I hear them.

I cannot believe I haven't forced you over to watch that.

Wait, what's The Room?

[ Also PG-13? MPAA ratings mean nothing to him. ]

[thisislife]

[sympathetically] Oh, you sweet summer child.

Okay. The Room was written, directed, and produced by this absolute weirdo named Tommy Wiseau. Starring people who couldn't act in a story which made no sense, but that's not all~~

[hopesparks]

[ Well, he's seen Holonet dramas and bad acting so ]

What makes it so special, then?

Hey, come on, if we're gonna watch a bad movie we gotta do a classic. Like Santa versus the Martians or that weird-ass Plan 9 movie.

[thisislife]

[Lexi cackles] I wasn't forgetting them, I was waiting on someone to bring them up! Because they're both classics of shitty cinema in their own special ways.

Who're you? 'Cause you've got great taste in shit.

[hearuthinking]

My name's Jason, ma'am. Since the point is to pick bad movies, I'm takin' that a compliment.

[wrenchedup]

dude yes. plan 9. oh. also devil girl from mars. fuckin classic

[hearuthinking]

I ain't much into sci-fi, but I'll watch that.

[wrenchedup]

psh. what qualifies as pg-13 now? kids these days can totally handle The Room. besides, being subjected to the room is like a rite of passage man.

though are we talking bad as in literally anything the Wachowski sisters did post-matrix 2 bad or are we talking swiss army man or rubber kinda bad?

[thisislife]

Maybe you're okay with seeing Tommy Wiseau's wrinkly naked ass fucking a bellybutton, but I'm not. There are certain things which can never be unseen.

I mean any bad movie. Twilight's in the lead right now, though if you want to make a case for another one, please do! I want this to be a friendly debate.

[wrenchedup]

rite of passage, man. no one said anything about having to like it!

but okay, serious time. is twilight the best people can do? man. come on. let's talk about literally an sharknado movie, or birdemic. or, oh OH. ghost rider.

[imaglyphwitch]

Just so you know, I'm going to see every single one of these with you.

[thisislife]

I know you will, honey. Just promise to not take the 'this is the skin of a killer' overcommitment to SparkleMotion scene in Twilight seriously.

[imaglyphwitch]

...Wait, what?!

I don't understand. What is the purpose of watching something you admit to be of poor quality?

(CW: underage drinking)

[thisislife]

Because it's funny! We'll get drunk on hard seltzer, eat loads of popcorn, throw even more at the screen, and make fun of it as we go! It's a great time, promise!

[givetheslip]

[She still looks a bit mystified, but amused as well.]

Something better experienced than explained, perhaps?
