It's going to look real nice when his arm rug grows back in and he has hairy snakes on a plane.

Not a big fan of hairy snakes. Trimmed is good though.

LOL! Somehow, I am not surprised.

Again - great book though! Well, great teen horror, which I read as a 13 yo, can't promise it would stand up now.

For me, bad titles are lazy, lazy sequels.
Make the second film stand on its own two feet with a competely different name! You're not really telling me the average movie-goer won't realise that the new film out starring Sylvester Stallone as an Italian-American boxer is connected to the last one? Or that the new film with the man in a Dennis the Menace jumper with a shiny manicure isn't perhaps part of a franchise?

My favourite good-bad?
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension
Damn, I'd like to get stoned and watch that again. Naked. With pizza.
Sigh.

This one was television: Kindred: The Embraced.

Yeah, sure, vampires or something. Had a season or maybe two. I just found it such a no-brainer that one would embrace kindred that it just let the air out of the whole thing. Too, too dumb.

Not a movie title,. but Sundae just reminded me of a game title from years ago. It was on the Commodore Vic 20 (my first comp) and had the best worst title of any game or film:

Metagalactic Llamas Battle at the Edge of Time.

Metagalactic, time-travelling, battle llamas? This is from a special category of bad titles, those that are based on "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" ...

Wasn't that the mockbuster for Transformers?

I tried that, and it wasn't as great as I'd hoped.
