7th Jan 2013 we began our journey and I promised Wes I'd add some comments onto our front page.
2 years later and I finally did.......
A long time ago, in a flat far, far away, lived two young men who spent their Sundays in a state which could be best described as “bleurgh”. Thankfully there was a TV show on the Sci-fi channel which helped them through these monstrous hangovers, not just with detached staring, but with hoots of laughter and joyous heckling. That show was Mystery Science Theatre 3000. (And of course Bullseye)
For those who don’t know this show, its basic premise is a man is trapped on a spaceship and is forced to watch the worst movies ever made, (MST3K, not Bullseye). He does this with the aid of two robot friends who help him through his ordeal by taking the piss out of the movies. It sounds terrible when anyone describes it, I know, but just watch it (there’s loads of episodes on YouTube), and you’ll fall in love with it I’m sure.
Back to Colin and Wes….. Many years after these halcyon days, Colin looked back upon them with such joyous wonderment that he decided that watching the worst movies ever made and then taking the piss out of them was a feat worthy of only the most foolhardy of couch potatoes. (I must admit I had consumed a lot of medium strength lager and in hindsight, I probably shouldn’t make rash decisions when slightly squiffy). So combining several lists of the 100 worst movies ever made, and using the ratings on IMDB to finalise the running order, he came up with 100 films he would watch so you don’t have to.
And Wes’ involvement in this? Well he was drunk and thought it would be funny to say he’d join in and watch them all too. Fool. (Agreed!).
So sit back and enjoy the reviews. A few have already been watched, so the first reviews will all go up pretty quickly. From then on in it’ll be pretty much weekly. Probably. Depending on hangovers. (*Update* We have now seen 50+ movies, have written 100+ reviews and had many, many hangovers.).
