Cheesy or what

[STEED]

I'm sitting here watching a cheesy film on TV called DINOSAURUS you know cheap SFX and a rubber monster any way they just dragged this monster out of the sea and no one will listen to the kid. The kid said it's alive and the adults say it's dead, my money is on the kid. Hang on folks a caveman has been found now, wow this is a gripping film I can't wait for the rubber monster goes on the rampage.

More latter, pass the popcorn.

[STEED]

Hang on folks it's two Dinosaurus and both of them have been struck by lightning we have movement.

Was that the caveman at the door.

Holy cow one of them just snacked on a man.

Update
Now it's crushed a car and caveman has done another runner from a woman wearing face cream.

Now the kid is having a chat with the veggie one, what a movie.

Update
Caveman is having a book for lunch

The suspense is killing me, hang on folks the caveman has put as dress on I kid you not.

What a cheesy film :rotfl:

@ Steed - Actually, I think I saw the one you are describing when I was in grade two.:hmm: I pity you. Not to ruin the end or anything...(possible spoiler)...but I believe someone fights the T-Rex (or whatever species of dinosaur that is supposed to be) with an excavator. You will be on the edge of you seat. :hmm:

Also, if you want to see a really bad movie, check out anything on the following list of old B (or C, or D, or F...) list movies:

Rolling Vengeance
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093876/
- Note - IMDB Link has the wrong cover art.

Death Ship
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080603/

Lost in the Bermuda Triangle (Worst movie ever).
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0183705/

Last Voyage (not to be confused with the excellent move Lost Voyage).
- Can't find the correct link for this one; don't worry, you're not missing much.

Smokey and the Bandit Part III
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086325/

Cannonball Run
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082136/

I can think of a lot more, but the ones above are cheesy bad, and not just bad. Some of them are actually cheesy to the point of being worth watching just for a laugh (although not the laughs that the producers and directors intended in cases of comedies). There are other movies (such as Maximum Overdrive) that are bad, due to poorly executed plots, idiotic lines, obvious and blatant continuity errors, etc., but which don't seem to have the element of ridiculous cheese that would seem to be a prerequisite for being entered in this thread.:hmm: Anyway, I will post some thoughts on the moveis in my list later, as I will probably be bored of studying later this evening.

EDIT - IMDB links added.

Okay, here are two that are absolutely risible:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0121974/

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0127917/

Both are so bad, they are actually worth seeking out to laugh at, they both show up on TV in the UK occasionally.

Re: Crimson Tide. Yup, I know some people like it, but I thought it was awful. Even though I like the subject material of the movie, I just can't bring myself to watch it again. It's almost as bad as U-571, which, bad as it is, at least has the virtue of a dramatic conclusion. Disregarding the numerous technical errors and bloopers in Crimson Tide, many of which are legendary in their ineptitude and equal in stature to those seen in U-571, CT doesn't stand up in many other ways either...

For one, it breaks one of the golden rules of dramatic structure with its main storyline; i.e. one is supposed to build the story and characters in the first act, place them in some sort of situation which appears difficult to resolve in the second act, and then provide an engaging and surprising resolution to the dramatic problems in the third act. This is the typical structure of almost all drama, and this has been so from right back to ancient times, with Greek tragedies. Accidentally continuing the tragic theme, Crimson Tide falls at the last hurdle in respect of its dramatic structure, where a taught climax, with nuclear missiles about to be launched simply fizzles out, with no action sequence at the end to defuse the dramatic build. For an action movie, this is bordering on criminal. Talk about going out with a whimper. A situation which is made even worse by the 'pally' ending of two characters who were at daggers drawn ten minutes beforehand, if that isn't 'cheesy', I don't know what is.

Were this not the only issue, it could probably be enjoyed to a point, but sadly, the plot which sets up this supposedly dramatic tempo, is transparently full of holes, with Gene Hackman's character wilfully refusing to verify a presumed launch protocol by means of a very simple check which would not alter the tactical situation in any way, shape or form. To believe that an experienced submarine commander would not do such a thing stretches credibility to breaking point, and given that the dramatic conflict between Hackman and Denzil Washington hinges solely on the clash over this matter, it makes it skate on the thinnest of scripting ice possible. Moreso in view of the fact that the clash between the commander and the XO has been done to death in sub movies, and always more believably.

Where it could have differed, was in the tension that would have been created by focussing on the racial background differences of the Captain and the XO, given that Hackman's age would have placed him in the US Navy when segregation was still extant in the US, and to touch on his attitudes toward a black officer, given that he is clearly an 'old school officer' and belligerent to boot, would have made for a much more dramatic, believable, and intelligent movie. An attempt to inject something of this nature is made during one scene, with the discussion about Carl Von Clausewitz, but it withers on the vine and is not properly explored, and neither is the exposition which it attempts to set up.

Then we have the scripting flow. Crimson Tide famously made it through editing with two scenes scripted by Quentin Tarantino, who was 'flavour of the month' at the time it was made. These scenes stick out like a sore thumb in the movie and are completely at odds with the rest of the script in both pacing and flow. They would have been okay had the rest of the movie been scripted in that way, but as it stands, they almost come over like a commercial break, being that far removed from the rest of the movie's tone that it beggars belief. Even if you are unaware of which two scenes these are, if you watch the movie and take a guess, I'm certain you'll be spot on.

There's a lot more I could say about the film which is bad, but at this point, you get the idea of where I'm coming from.

The veggie one bought it in a swamp and the meat eater was bashed over the head a couple of times by a crane and fell in to the sea as for the caveman well..........

I think the caveman went on to become a cross dresser.

That was the first thing my girlfriend and I watched together


It was the japanese one with this weird space-dude with a ridiculous outfit who was killing people with what appeared to be a periscope stuck in the ground.

Evil Dude: "I like your plan"
The Guys: "I like it very much!"

Ah! The wonderfully cheesy Japanese import Prince of Space.



Phantom of Krankor: This is my giant guardian. He obeys my slightest command!
Crow T. Robot: Like, "wander around aimlessly and gain weight."

Was a sad day when that show dissappeared from cable.

[Sailor Steve]

They once showed the spy movie with Sean Connery's brother.


Talk about awful! I think it was the only movie he ever made, thank goodness.

My personal favourite from MST 3000 was Puma Man (with, I seem to recall, Donald Pleasance in it), where they kept correcting the 'POOMA' pronunciation. I think MST 3000 is probably my favourite ever TV show, pure genius.
