At least watch this.

All you need to see from the Troll 2 is this...

And since we're on the subject of timeless scenes, this is one of my favorites.

haha yeah they're both great. The description says it's from a movie called Tough Guys Don't Dance, I never knew that. I remember when that clip went viral, whenever something mild would happen, someone would quote it. For example.

Me: We're out of milk.

Someone else: Oh god oh man, oh god oh man!

Troll 2 is ok, but Best Worse Movie is so much better and sums it up nicely without having to sit through the whole thing

Yeah Best Worst Movie is very good. The mom from Troll 2 is so crazy in real life.

I really don't know how we got here from The Shining and The Godfather.

The baseline for good bad movies is somewhere at like Cocktail, not whatever the hell it is you people are talking about.

You haven't seen troll 2 either? At least watch best worst movie, it's a wonderful documentary, up there with King of Kong

There's a finite period of time that a person allocates to watching movies. I'm not going to use that time on deliberately watching stuff that sucks.

You would probably like Best Worst Movie. It's a documentary that helps to explain why people like terrible movies. Plus you get to see how absolutely delusional and insane the cast of Troll 2 is.

Alright, well I'll try to remember that. Admittedly my movie-watching in general has dropped off a cliff over the last few years (for no reason that I can explain, because I still enjoy watching them as much as ever), so I don't tend to get to recommendations very quickly these days.

I haven't, although I see that one gets startlingly high ratings on IMDb.

Well it's not startling to those who have it in their personal top ten (yeah that's right)

Yeah the gif was at your surprise, not the fact you haven't seen it. Everyone needs to experience Billy Mitchell.

Well I hadn't even heard of it until three posts ago, and considering that this whole conversation has been about a bunch of Plan 9-level movies I expected that one to be likewise.

That would be a bad assumption to make. It regularly is very high on critics top doc lists, has a 96% RD score with an average 8.1 rating. It's an excellent movie

Yes I've gathered that.

It shouldn't be particularly surprising that when you casually fling it into a conversation with The Room and Troll 2 that it probably isn't going to get a positive assumption from someone who hasn't heard of it.

Agreed, though it was introduced with the discussion of Best Worst Movie, not Troll 2 or the Room in particular.

Btw BWM has a 95% on RT

Well I didn't know about Best Worst Movie before seeing this thread so I'm going to have to add that to my list.

Generation Kill has been my recent fixation.

Band of Brothers always #1, though.

King of Kong is a documentary. Kind of random to throw it out there and expect someone to have seen it. BTW, a related documentary, Chasing Ghosts is pretty good as well.

(edit: saw someone else threw it out there..still it's not like I'd expect everyone in the world to have seen it.) So have you 2 bozos seen Chasing Ghosts as well?

Not somebody of LKJ's stature. Documentaries are generally the realm of the inteligent, so I would expect him to have seen a good percentage
