So, I've just got back from a week in Virginia with my buttheaded brother and his fabulous fiance. We had a good time, and it was really nice to get away for a while. We surprised the big brother for his birthday with our little brother from KS. Good surprise. Erik (the big butthead) was totally clueless. The look on his face was absolutely priceless.
We, of course, had a cheesey movie marathon where I finally got to see DARKNESS FALLS--78 minutes of pure, unadulterated garbage about a psycho tooth fairy (yes, tooth fairy) that kills people for looking at her. Ummmm . . . perhaps people should just NOT look at her. Just a thought. Or, better yet, don't leave your stupid tooth out for her. I mean, why tempt fate, right? If you know there's a psycho killer tooth fairy on the loose, perhaps leaving your tooth out for her is not such a good idea. Anyway, the best part of the film was the director's interview, where he talks about how he wanted to make a movie as scary as JAWS. Yeah. I'd say you missed the mark with your psycho killer tooth fairy bit, but nice try.
We also watched two movies made by a group called Dead Man Productions in CA. The first was their student film called DEMON HUNTERS. The sequeal is called DEMON HUNTERS: DEAD CAMPER LAKE. Both too fabulous for words. They, of course, would need to have more money involved to actually be a B movie. I think their first film had a budget of a $5 and a six pack, but their sequel seemed to actually have a little money behind it (maybe $10 - $12 this time). They were so amazingly cheesey, they make me want to move out to CA and start my own line of terrible but funny movies. If you are in the mood for a really good laugh, and you like pure cheese as well as witty but campy dialogue, I would highly recommend these movies. They're so bad (and intentionally bad), they're good.
After the little butthead left to return to the wilds of KS, the three of us remaining (the big butthead, the fabulous fiance, and myself) went to see the movie MR & MRS SMITH. I did not expect that movie to be as funny and entertaining as it was. Hilarious. Best line: Who's your daddy now? Best part: the ten minutes of foreplay that starts with dinner, leads to a tango involving a small knife and an explosion, then a bomb in hubby's jacket, then a high speed car chase home, all culminating in a massive gun fight that tears apart their house in the suburbs. Ahhhh, ain't love grand?
