Here in the ogre’s cave we get only a few television channels. One of them shows, each weekend, an astonishingly bad movie; not merely the dull-witted clutter that fills up the hours between infomercials for other stations, but atrocities approaching Ed Wood standards.
We generally have no way of knowing what the flick is, but this week, my housemate said, “Oh, it’s the Bad Movie. Oh, Robert Vaughn is in this one, and I think that’s whatsername who was in Last Tango.” In a minute or two I was able to say, “The only movie with Robert Vaughn and Maria Schneider from Last Tango is The Babysitter. The mini-review at IMDb says this director’s films got worse and worse until, after The Babysitter, he had the sense to retire.”
Wonderful times, ennit?
