I mentioned this in the Boomer thread in GBS as one of the movies you're Evangelical boomer parents probably have for when their grandkids come over.

The Buttercream Gang
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chmfOI6sTMo

Cinema Snob did an episode about it and i watched it because it couldn't be that bad. It's basically "White Rural Christian Conservative persons worse nightmares the movie". The Buttcream gang, a group of tween boys who do good deeds in their super white town and solve problems like cats out of trees and old ladies across the street, is facing a problem, their leader has to move to the CITY. OH NO! So their leader annotates one of the other kids as the new leader and goes off to live in Sodom and Gamora. Things are pretty white for a while in the town, but then the former leader returns but because he lived in the City, he had to interact with non whites and joined a GANG. Hes now wearing Khakis and a flannel shirt! Oh no! So what does he do? He starts his own gang in the Town, but through friendship and sicking sweet moralizing, he's brought around.

It's like so wholesome and boring, i cannot imagine any child actually enjoying it. And as I said, it mostly exists to feed into Evangelicals fears about cities and ethnic people.

Another good one is Last Ounce of Courage, which somehow makes the first two Gods Not Dead movies look sane and reasonable. It's about a super cool mayor of some lovely small town rides around on a Harley with a full sized American flag hanging from it, or drives a classic ford pickup with a full sized American flag hanging from it. But apparently America is now an atheist hellhole and any kind of Christianity is illegal. The Mayor wants to put up a giant 10 Commandments up but the GOVERNMENT (as this is an Obama era film, so everyone in Government we see is Black) say's he can't. He might find the courage to defy the Government who doesn't want Christianity shoved it peoples faces. It's a shallow film with little message than standard Christian Persecution mythology to it.

I remember at the time there were book readers going "no in the book the cavemen were highlanders, it was way better" as if putting them in kilts would have made then going Hup hup cake! and learning how to fly harriers in about a day better than the pilots in the past did better or at least make more sense.

It also falls into that thing that ancient alien theorists always talk about how aliens came to earth for gold, because gold is valuable everywhere right?

Funny thing is that Cowboys and Aliens has the same premise.

Battlefield Earth makes a lot more sense considering it was meant to be a Scientology vehicle and is based on a book that from all I've heard is even worse and even more tedious and boring, with the last half of the book literally being about the bureaucratic consequences.

I'm vaguely remembered of Thor and how both movies get jokes made about how they use dutch angles all the time.

In Cowboys and Aliens Harrison Ford goes "What are they going to do, buy something?" when he's told about their plan. But yea it being a Scientology text explains a lot. The villains are Psyklos, which is meant to be Psychologists, because El Ron hated them. Also has an slave Alien Race the Chinkos, because El Ron hated Asian people.

Dredging up this thread to say that I’m watching Eragon right now, and wow, this is really really bad.

Update: it’s getting worse.

When I found out the writer of the books it was based on was a kid and the son of a publisher, that explained everything.

Due to an indecent at my work, I found out one of our less coherrant customers used to be an model and actor. She had been in Playboy and Howard Stern. Though the thing that is relevant to this thread is the movie she was on

Cannibal Rollerbabes
https://youtu.be/m9z3eCQt8QQ

Probably one of the worst movies ever made, this canucksploitation was made in 1997 and somehow looks like it was made 20 years earlier. Also with a name like Cannibal Rollerbabes you'd think it had lots of blood and boobs in it and has neither. Well, at least on the level the name suggests.

Well I watched Jaws 3 (D!!!) last night. Even though this had better box office returns, I think its the worst of the four.
There was a few things that made me think 'why the gently caress did they do that'? or 'How the gently caress could that actually happen'? Like when a 35 foot shark was somehow able to turn around in a tunnel that was probably not more than 15 feet in diameter. Or why the poo poo did that guy make so many dumb rear end decisions? Money, I guess is the answer to the second question, but still what the fuckin poo poo?
But gently caress, I dunno. I guess its just a crappy movie that still made money.

Comments about Jaws THE REVENGE!!!!1 coming up soonish. Maybe tomorrow if I can stay away from the pub tonight.

E:
I also noticed a guy in the movie had a shirt that said "let a gargoyle sit on your face".
I thought that was probably some sort of sexual reference covertly slipped in there, but apparently its just an ad for Gargoyle Sunglasses.

Never heard of them, but maybe they were popular in 1983 or something.

Is Jaw 3 the one where its in an Aquarium? I always forget that is a Jaws movie, rather than some other random killer shark movie.

Jenny Nicholson recently did a review of all 14(?) Land Before Time sequels on her channel. I had no idea they kept going that long.

That video is great, and I loved how she wasn't 100% sure she was seeing it correctly or it was just the 'roni she had.

I love it, but its kinda bad.
Detroit Rock City. From 1999. Some kids in a KISS tribute band will do anything to go and see their idols at a show at Cobo Hall in Detroit in 1978.
Part of it was filmed at Copps Colliseum in Hamilton ON. I was in the crowd as an extra during filming, it was kinda neat being there.
The movie is pretty silly at times, but gently caress it. I like that poo poo.

"I was an extra in Detroit Rock City" is something I've heard from a lot of people when i lived in Toronto. I think they just went to high schools and universities in southern Ontario during shooting and rounded up anyone who wanted to be in it.

I went back and checked if i had posted about a movie before and while I had, I missed a post about Nemesis. That was one of THE movies to watch in high school. It had boobs, blood, and crazy action. Dude shoots a hole in the floor and falls through multiple stories to get away. to a 15 or 16 year olds mind, that's the poo poo right there.

It funny how people lament the going to the video store and picking out some direct to video action or horror movie with a titillating cover, but that does still exist; streaming is full of bad movies with maybe 5 seconds of boobs and cheesey violence. Just you don't end up renting something thinking you're gonna see it all and end up being bored because Transylvania 6-5000 is a really boring comedy.
