but I was gonna try and run the Oscar pool again this year and I was wondering if I should start the general awards show thread before or after the Globes
anyone have recommendations for "so bad they're good" movies to watch with friends? we've seen and enjoyed Hercules in New York, Kraa: the Sea Monster and Troll 2

once you've seen troll 2, your proverbial wad has been blown
the golden globes are pretty awful though, as far as actual awards go
but gervais is hosting I think so at least it'll be entertaining
They're more fun than the Oscars, generally
And they're willing to award Golden Globes to comedies, which is nice

This article from The Rebel Yell explains all you need to fucking know about fucking Troll 2
With Halloween just a few days away, it’s time to discuss the worst horror movie… Ever.
“Troll 2.”
To most, the phrase “Troll 2” may bring about a feeling of unfamiliarity, raising many questions…
What is “Troll 2?” For that matter, what is “Troll 1”? What does “Troll 2” have to do with me? Why is this guy writing about “Troll 2?” Should I be afraid of it?
The legacy of “Troll 2” begins back in 1990, when it was released as a “sequel” to cash in on the moderate success of 1986’s “Troll,” despite the fact it has absolutely nothing to do with it.
“Troll (1)” was made by popular crap-producer Charles Band, the man behind “Gingerdead Man” and the “Puppet Master” series, both of which I covered earlier this month. Read ‘em online.
As legend has it – or as Wikipedia states it – the entire crew of “Troll 2” was a bunch of Italian filmmakers who didn’t speak a word of English, which may answer about 90 percent of the questions about the movie.
The film opens on young Joshua being told a bedtime story by the ghost of his dead grandfather about a bunch of man-eating, shape-shifting goblins. When it’s over, Grandpa Seth tells Joshua that “Goblins still exist! Your Grandpa Seth is telling you!”
Now, I don’t know much about parenting, but telling a 10-year old kid just before bed that “Hey! Goblins are real, ‘ya little turd! And don’t forget, I’m the ghost of your dead grandpa!” may not be the best way to tuck them in.
Joshua and his family travel to the town of Nilbog for one of those house-exchange kinda deals. Grandpa Seth thinks it’s an evil place. At their new house, they find a dining table full of odd-looking green food. “Typical country hospitality! Let’s dig in,” exclaims Dad.
Grandpa Seth shows up and tells Joshua that he must stop them from eating the evil food. Otherwise, something bad will happen. So Joshua hops on the table and starts peeing on the food.
Atta boy, Joshua. That’s using your smarts.
Turns out Grandpa Seth is right and the entire town of Nilbog is actually a bunch of goblins in disguise.
Gasp! ‘Nilbog’ is ‘Goblin’ spelled backwards!
The goblins change people into plants by making them eat green goop, because man-plant is the goblins’ favorite food. Now it’s up to Joshua and Grandpa Seth to find a way to escape Nilbog before the entire family becomes troll food. Er, I mean, goblin food.
By the way, there are no trolls in the movie. Nor or they mentioned. Just goblins in “Troll 2.” Nothing but goblins.
The goblins are clearly just wearing potato sacks and really bad masks. And they’ve all got little potbellies. Scary, scary potbellies.
As I said before, no one on the crew really spoke English and I assume that includes the screenwriter, which may explain why all the dialogue sounds like it was run through one of those Internet translation sites a few times.
Which brings me to my top 5 favorite lines of “Troll 2”:
5. (After being punched in the groin) “Are you nuts? You tryin’ to turn me into a homo?”
4. “Elliot’s not my beau! He’s my boyfriend.”
3. “You can’t piss on hospitality, I WON’T ALLOW IT!”
2. “If my father discovers you here, he’d cut off your little nuts and eat them. He can’t stand you!”
1. “They’re eating her… and then they’re going to eat me… Oh my GAAAWWD!”
“Troll 2” is undeniably the absolute worst movie I have ever seen and that’s why I can’t recommend it enough. And since it’s available to watch for free on IMDB.com and Hulu.com, there’s no reason why you can’t celebrate Halloween by watching the most hilariously awful movie ever.
You can thank me later.
What a piece of shit film good Christ my heart hurts just from thinking about that wretched film
Plan 9 from Outer Space may be the worst film ever, but it's not without competition let me fucking tell you

No I think they just want you to be angry that the car didn't hit him.
Well, I know I was at least.
yeah I mean they're soon

Sandra Bullock is nominated for two acting globes this year
really, Hollywood Foreign Press? The Proposal deserved recognition? really?
and I don't even want to think about the tv nominees
on that note, I'm sure Meryl is very good in it because she's Meryl
Though that's intentionally so bad that it's good, so maybe it counts as just good? I don't know.

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip ruined Sports Night for me
I hate Aaron Sorkin and his stupid repetitive plots
once you've seen troll 2, your proverbial wad has been blown

I wouldn't doubt it
he's kind of a hateful douche
it's about evil plants
well, my favorite thing other than a kid peeing all over his family's food

But apparently it was originally made for TV, so I don't know if it counts anymore.

Yes
this is so true
NO.
I mean, there was nothing wrong with it, it was enjoyable, but I missed the part where it was the best thing ever.
Maybe the problem is that I didn't watch it until I was 17.

Saw it again when I was 19. I thought it might suck, since I was a just a dumb little kid when I first watched it. Still loved it.
It's just so good.
but thanks for that
I meant which photoshoot was it, or what press event was the photo taken at.
But it is all trivial now, I'm finishing Sports Night
