I have no particular interest in seeing people's heads explode,
Oh come on....some of the best movies ever made have exploding heads in them....surely? I used to frequent a Horror movie review site, which specifically rated its films with a....yes you got, a 'headcount'.

Best decapitation in movies? Guy getting decapitated by a lift in 'Trauma'. :P

First head I saw explode? Dude in Scanners circa 1981

Edited to add: Just realized this was directed by the aforementioned Cronenburg

Independance Day. That film was awful. Not so awful it's funny; just so awful it made me want to tear out my eyes.

The original version of The Fog.
My boyfriend and I were watching it. The part where the sailors are in the boat all drunk. Miss McBreathy (Adrienne Barbeau) is announcing on the radio for all boats to watch for an incoming fog bank.

Drunken sailor: Fog bank. There ain't no fog bank out there.
Drunken sailer: she's crazy, there AIN'T no fog bank out there.
Me, mumbling: hey, there's a fog bank out there
Drunken sailor: hey, there's a fog bank out there.

We still say that!

Space Is The Place

Flint: worst movie I've ever seen.

Damn, Flint, you must be my long-lost brother. My older sister took me to see Sun Ra and the feature song was "Space is The Place." I was kinda young, and couldn't really distinguish between "good" and "crappy," but I do remember the show.

Never saw the movie.

I love Zappa, but 200 Motels wasn't my favorite either.

Maybe there is a lesson here.

Watermelon Man. Some guy getting whacked by the blades of a airplane. It was the sound that freaked me out: kerthunkfloff!

for guys getting whacked by props, you can't beat Catch22. Head & torso get mushed, hips and legs slowley, majestically even, topple into the sea.

My beau and I were laughing at the new Amnity Ville Horror while everyone else was screaming. It was corny and predictive. I was so excited about White Noise and then when I saw it, it wasn't scary at all. That was a big let down.

I know this is a bit of a detour threadwise, but does anybody remember a film called The Changeling? Man that was a greeat film. Really spooky.

On the other hand, one of the all time worst films ever, was Dead Man Walking....not the more famous one about a guy on death row, but a much earlier distopian future sci-fi film. Really really bad, and topped off with awful sound quality. that said it had Jeffrey Combs in it so I absolutely had to own a copy.

Actors are often very shy in real life... don't make assumptions from interviews.
Some movies are bad/good, some are just bad... if it is boring and bad it is just bad. If it is bad enough it can be great, like Plan 9 and all his other flicks and Waters movies.
