Let's all go to the Lobby...and shoot ourselves in the face.
Aside from watching old clips of the State and Aziz videos on YouTube, I've also started to get a lot of joy from reading positive reviews of bad movies on Netflix. Here are some samples:
Hardball - "This movie really touched me. I've always loved the Matrix and always jump for joy when I find a movie with Keanu Reeves. It had a mixture of comedy, romance, and action. It was the first movie I've ever seen in which the children realisticly swear more than the adults. I especially enjoyed the youngest of the team swearing more than anyone. I can't wait for this to come out on DVD!"
Miss Congeniality - "This movie is GREAT!!! Also, I'm not into the freaky rough stuff. However, Sandra Bullock can handcuff and "BEAT" a confession out of me ANYTIME!!!"
XXX-State of the Union - "I liked this movie because it was so unconventional. Very unrealistic, but that was the point. You can just flow with the movie and enjoy it without having confusing plots to figure out. The team up of Samuel L. Jackson and Ice Cube was pretty interesting. Ice Cube showed us again not only is he a decent singer but a great actor! Great movie."
There are also negative reviews of the movies that I do like. Most are in the "Dude, do ya have to use so many cuss words?" vein:
Fargo- "I thought that this movie was very good. The acting was excellent, and the story was intriguing. I only gave it one star; however, because it was extremely violent and had extreme sex and nudity and language. Too bad people today think that they can't make a good movie without all the trash."
My favorite movie review ever is still credited to Peter W Anderson: "Legally Blonde?!?! I'd rather go legally blind."
People. People who love Keanu. Are the luckiest people in the woooooorrrrrrrld. (Because they sail along on their blissful cloud of Whoa).
I should point out that my parents see the worst movies ever released. Ever.
In the interest of full disclosure, it should be noted that the author of this post owns all three Smokey and the Bandit movies, multiple movies starring talking thumbs, and will part with his DVD copy of Commando only when it is pulled from his cold dead hands.

Infrequency and Indie Punching. Not Professionalism.

I'll take my due credit for the legally blind review, though it's really a kind of weak joke. It's like saying "Beatallica? They may as well just combine Beatlesmetallica!"
I do like that if you are having a hard time thinking of a good stupid wordplay title, and google "pun," you get sent here.
Your parents don't buy the DVDs, do they?
I may or may not own Fast and Furious 1 & 2, Eraser, Rambo III, and last but not least, Sniper.
Well, I pretty much made you buy Rambo, my bad.
One of my earliest film memories is being 4 years old and watching Commando. We played bodycount, where everytime someone died you'd stand up and shout "32!" or whatever the number was. Anyway, I came across this recently: http://www.washcoll.edu/wc/current/services/townhall/
That guy is the man! Here, let me offer you this photogenic drink.
Commando's status as most enjoyably bad movie ever is well established. What can top it?
