I got Bigfoot vs. Megalodon 2 on DVD for my birthday and sat through it like Alex in Clockwork Orange.
I really had to see, what movie spawned this sequel? What was so good about Bigfoot vs. Megalodon that it deserved a sequel? Call it morbid curiosity. So I watched that too, and it joined my list of the worst films I ever saw. Believe me, that list is a long and ponderous chain of celluloid obscenities nobody else should ever view. I will say this – I accuse the writer and director, BC Fourteen, of being an AI program used by Christopher Maitland. Should you need to clear a room or get information from a reticent crime suspect, here are the links to that movie series:
It was so bad it put me off doing a Sasquatch Celebration September. I will regroup, but I am suffering some mental anguish from viewing those. So I pulled together a post from the bag of emergency films, Aliens, Clowns and Geeks*. Never heard of it? It is from Richard Elfman, who we viewed previously in his Elfman family effort, Forbidden Zone. Since then, he has done a half dozen Oingo Boingo videos and the movies Shrunken Heads and 28 Days to Vegas.
So what is our film about tonight? From IMDB:
An out-of-work actor stumbles upon key to the universe and is drawn into intergalactic war between clowns and aliens.
A few things before you talk about how your garden is doing in the comments: 1) This movie is not AI generated, and 2) It actually looked great during the speed viewing this Sunday. 3) The one review on IMDB was gushing over it, and did not appear to be written be a member of the Elfman family. Rotten tomatoes has a 100% score, and a 92% from the audience! So how has this remained so underground? We will find out, tonight! 4) This may well be NSFW. It’s a bit on the edge. Not gory, just crass. If you normally hang out with me on Thursdays you will have no issues.
Some trivia: This film was also known as Hipsters, Gangsters, Aliens and Geeks. It was also Verne Troyer’s last film before he committed suicide by drinking himself to death.
So watch! Or don’t! Everything is voluntary until some fake AI program makes a movie that steals an hour of your life! Next week, I will have… something. Slack disorganization seems to happen to me every year around this time, I shall regroup and have a regular advance schedule soon.
*Dearest Slumbrew: I promise will be showing Trancers. I want to give it a decent writeup first, maybe update the movie poster with Brock Samson.

ooo… clowns and aliens.
Dare I hope for sewer dwelling alien clowns?
Can’t wait.
And I won’t talk about my garden at all. Instead I’ll ramble on endlessly about canning ten gallons of apple butter. Only blew up one jar.
You might end up talking gardening. I told Neph I felt this might be a mistake.
Cowboys and aliens?
Ten gallons?
The wife spent last weekend canning tomato’s (blech). We now have, to me, a life time supply. Her? Six weeks tops.
Also, she cannot do as much at 50 as she did at 49.
Must have been a tough year?
Just wait and see how much she can’t do at 75 as she did at 70.
Gave up caning, took up canning?
2/3 through canning season. Tomato sauce, pickles, tomatillo salsa, roasted chilis, pickled jalapenos. I give it two more weeks.
OT – If I see another fucking pro-abortion scare ad I’m going to go ballistic. The nutters here are campaigning on nothing else.
What else do they have to campaign on?
Joy?
I think they mean Joy Reid , not Joy in general.

I’m hoping that if Trump wins, she tries to climb the Empire State Building.
So, would she be the gorilla your dreams then?
I don’t have a gorilla. Although, if I did, it wouldn’t be for sale.
Nothing so joyful as sacrificing your children for your own convenience.
It’s so retarded. It’s a state issue. NY will have baby murder, with a side order of fries, no matter who is President.
Well, these are House candidates. The Dem candidate is claiming that the current Rep (a Republican) wants a national ban and wants women to die in favor of their unborn. Frankly I highly suspect that is a lie but I can’t be assed to give a shit.
The state is not just protecting baby murder here but subsidizing it with taxpayer dollars and setting it up as a tourist industry. No outrage about forcing people to support it or that it’s an extremist position that doesn’t have popular support.
Anyways, the two local Planned Parenthood affiliates announced they were going to stop their lobbying arm because there wasn’t any more giants to slay. Oh! That was not allowed. The outrage that they wouldn’t be funding the Democrat machine was immediate and they quickly scurried back to their holes and continued the blood money checks.
Remember the outrage when Komen decided to stop giving PP free money?
Sorry, I’m late. Life finds a way.
Also, stupid fucking Jetpack. Can we turn that shit off?
What is Glibertarian Element?
You say many things I do not know the answer to.
MLW mentioned “Glibertarian Element” in her latest post.
The libertarian element is Radon, it doesn’t bond well and it is slightly radioactive, it is known.
I assume https://element.io/ – like the Discord channel or maybe they moved to Element
Interesting. All these things I never know.
TPTB’s school lunch table?
A Glibertarian Element is a Honda with a test pipe where the catalytic converter should be, driven by Mexicans having ass sex while hauling loads of marijuana.
Did I mention the “Taxation is theft”, “Free Cascadia” and “Free Ross” bumper stickers?
Needs a mounted machine gun.
Now we’re getting somewhere.

On that image alone, I’m direly rooting for the Clowns. Bless ’em.
Well, that is one way to get ahead.
I miss bad movies that were trying to be good.
Working on it. This attempt at newer films tripped and fell down the stairs I fear.
If you really want to see irredeemably bad, not even a ray of good, watch the AI generated Bigfoot films.
You do yeoman’s work here, never forget that. Just, when they are trying to be bad, it loses the frisson we all loved back in the day.
Absolutely. I think it is the modern self-awareness that does in modern attempts at bad film.
R.J.
Love what you do. Evil Roy Slade is on the Mt Rushmore of movies for the family.
Would have never have found it without your contribution here.
Excellent! That was a major find. One that should be preserved.
R.J.,
Have I mentioned what good taste you have?
And so handsome! Those eyestalks!
Now I’m all warm and fuzzy inside.
I’ll have to shave all that fuzz now.
Wait until you see his butt.
Legendary, so I’m told.
The curvature is so perfect, astronomers use it to calibrate their instruments.
R.J, I watched Prague Nights this past weekend and really enjoyed it.
Nice. I am expanding this groups knowledge of film weekly. This is good.
Yes you are.
Arch-conservative alt-right extremist reactionary commentators Richard Hanania (pseudonymous white supremacist shitposter) and Steve Sailer (the most retrograde IQ researcher since Charles Murray) are beefing on X over…who actually wrote Shakespeare’s works.
No commentary. Just seems funny.

Exactly, dang it, yes. Exactly what I love about X.
You know who else tried to genocide a bunch of aliens?
Orson Welles?
Every teenager in an arcade during the ’80s?
Trump?

Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith?
Rico’s Roughnecks?
Ridley Scott?
Slim Whitman, with only the power of his voice?
I had my doubts about Tires. I still do. You want me to sit through how many seasons of TPB before it gets good? Well, those are good immediately, but Tires ain’t hardly TPB.
I’m all in at 8 minutes. Shane Gillis is a turd, I love him as a comedian but he’s an actor turd. But this show, in a few parts, showcases his turdness perfectly.
Stavros Halkias is in this show, pretending to be an actor.
I think all of these twerps are comedians pretending to be actors.
It’s stupid that my pbf or whatever is of Tyres of Spaced fame but I am in fact talking about the Netflix series that you all shouldn’t see because this is a painful first season.
Go watch Spaced. You can find it all on Youtube. It has Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, whom you all love.
Then go watch Black Books for more of the same. Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey, and Tasmin Greig. All on youtube! Probably. I haven’t checked in years. And all of them got featured later in the Cornetto trilogy. Maybe? I don’t remember Tasmin Greig popping up in Shaun, but maybe. You tell me.
I’ll take Tasmin in Green Wing.
Dylan Moran is Spaced actress Katy Carmichael’s boyfriend in Shaun. Was he featured in Hot Fuzz or World’s End? NO But you tell me, they pop up everywhere.
The first episode of Black Books has some of the funniest scenes ever. It’s one of my ‘go to’ videos when I need a boost.
It is entertaining to me that Halkios or whatever stars in this series. What a dick. What a dick all these guys are. You all can’t have spent your lives studying the intricacies of these comedy folk like I have, or you might not feel as retarded as I do.
Wait till I start talking about Flashman, just you wait
https://imgflip.com/i/92kqzi
Gustave they’re all dicks.
awfully entertaining, but
dicks, nonetheless.
I will vouch for Flashman.
If you haven’t read the novels, well, you should.
It’s on my to read list!

I found the 2 VHS copies of the elusive GI Bro. Now I just need to find a way to watch it, as I no longer have a VCR. Watched it 24 years ago and it was amazing garbage!
Why 2 copies? I’m going to send a copy to RedLetterMedia. They removed their mailing address from the website, I’m sure to stop randos like me from sending them shit, but I’ll still do it! Just watch me! HAHAhahahaha!
Too late for anything but that whole Tenet kerfuffle glows like Bikini Atoll. The timing is a little suspect as well. Fucking DOJ.
This is the kind of shit I run across in the middle of the night when I cant sleep.
It is a shame all of you lunkheads are sleeping.

By run across, on YouTube or in your own living room?
I suspect her company would be very entertaining…in smallish doses.
You clearly have a stronger sex drive than I do. I noped out after 15 seconds.
I am not sleeping, although I’d like to be.
#metoo
Spent over an hour in bed just… Not falling asleep. Which is pretty terrible because this 2 month old doesn’t normally give awesome breaks like this.
What’s the best way to get in contact with an editor?
I have no idea, but having read many of my comments you already know that.
Email Tonio? I’m sure he’s posted it somewhere.
I was going to suggest posting something worthy of a cat-butt. 😉
Happy national coffee ice cream day!

Good morning, Sean, rhy, Ted’S., TAFKALack, and (maybe?) Suthen!
Now I want Culver’s Cappuccino Cookie Crumble frozen custard! 🙁
Good morning GT, how are you Ma’am?

Good morning, Beau! 😁
By how many times do the national days of exceed 365? I cant keep up.
I suspect congresscritters make those votes up to pad their attendance record without doing anything they have to actually be responsible for.
Pretty sure they’re just made up, like I don’t there’s any federal law.
Nothing stopping me from declaring today national beer day, just for example.
Having said that I am just gonna leave this here with no comment.

Formerly Lack: I have looked up the voting records of various state and federal legislators and found that they actually do vote some of that shit into law. In fact, I have found some such ‘officials’ entire voting records consist of such votes. Yep, they are collecting paychecks and ridiculous benefits for life for that.

Imma be like this.
Yup.

Greedflation strikes again!
One wonders how much they’re losing to fare theft.
Someone pointed out that NYC loses roughly the same amount to theft every year that (the since canceled) “congestion pricing” was supposed to add. Now they’re scrambling to prove they can stop the cheats because they actually felt some shame from the optics.
Shame? I dont believe that. They felt their was some threat to their credibility or their job. That is the only thing people like that understand.
They need to tax people who don’t use the system. Bonus if they aren’t even in the service area.

This is twisted.
Not sure how I feel about this…
How long before we are executing substitute family members of criminals? I dont see this road going to a good place.
That seems….dubious at best
I thought the article said he had no unsupervised access to the guns? Sandy Hook? Kid took the gun without dad’s knowledge?
I am not sure what to make of it because there isn’t enough info.
Charge the parents, but don’t bother shining any light on the dark corners of the internet this kid was hanging around in…
According to “sources”, the weapon was a Christmas gift.
https://nypost.com/2024/09/05/us-news/accused-ga-school-shooter-colt-gray-14-received-gun-used-in-massacre-as-christmas-gift-from-dad-months-after-online-threats-probe-sources/
Maybe they can arrest the family members of gangbangers now once they kill someone or commit other crimes. But seriously, this is very much not a good thing and where it can and will ultimately lead is dark.
Hold the ones who actually commit crimes responsible for their actions? How quaint.
I’d need to know the facts before I could have an opinion — if he knew the kid was planning this, then sure. Most of the time that wouldn’t be plausible, but this time, having been clued in a year ago… who knows?
Mornin’, reprobates!
Good morning, ‘patzie!
Note to self: read upthread before posting.
It’s 4:30 local. I’m awake, and I’m going to load the car to get the hell out of Reno.
I do not like this place. Though that really is just the review of the hotel. The town itself didn’t seem to bad.
Good morning all!

On the radio this morning, Hochul was bragging about having executed twenty THOUSAND red flag orders in the last two years.
Her, every officer who enforced the law, every legislator who voted for it and every shitstain who called one in needs to be thrown in prison for twenty thousand consectutive ten year sentences for violating the constitutional rights of others.
Says you and a bunch old dead white slaveholders. The constitution is a dead letter and she deserves the accolades she’s rightly receiving.
Over 30 per day? How does she deal with writer’s cramp?
