I could explain why the live action Dungeouns and Dragons movie was almost unspeakably brilliant, but most likely that reveleation would set your eyes boiling in their sockets while filling you veins with crackling threads of shattered ruby as your blood turns to fine dust.

It is that good, and that wrong at the same time Shocked.

Well, with that sort of a warning I have to hear it now! Cheesy

Personally, I liked the DnD movie. It was entertaining, silly, had a great villain, and the world's stupidest Beholder. Oh, and Doctor Who as an elf!

You must be very, very certain of that before I speak the words. This is no ordinary screed. These are dire mysteries I speak of. You will find your gamer-soul not just pantsed by this revelation, but stripped naked and tossed before the gilt-edged mirror of unvarnished reflection, while your now shredded pants are ignited by the Fires of Truth to illuminate the awful, shameful tableau.

These words are not for the unprepared.

Scott, have you seen the scene of a movie that involves the utterance of these magic words... "I drink your milkshake." ?

If your screed involves anything resembling the climax at the end of that scene, I think I'll pass. Tongue As an aside the scene of which I speak is basically the point of the entire move.

There Will be Blood. It's essentially a character study. Daniel Day Lewis totally emasculates a character in the film as a return favor. It's horrifying and glorious at the same time.

I can safely say that is utterly unrelated to the Dark Truth that lurks beneath the skin of the Dungeons and Dragons movie Smiley.

I once sat through the entirity of Trolls 2 sober and free of any other substance and didn't want to claw my eyes out at the end.

I am prepared.

Mostly bad horror that I liked regardless. Smiley

Pumpkinhead - so very much a decent RPG scenario!
Graveyard Shift - bad Call of Cthulhu scenario with players and a Keeper who really deserve each other! Watch for failed San rolls!
Innocent Blood - Okay, I just like this one, and seeing so much of Anne Parrilaud wasn't bad either.
Nosferatu - the one with Klaus Kinsky....

And let us not forget... The 5,000 Fingers of Doctor T! (Dr. Seuss as screenwriter... I still can't believe it was nominated for an Oscar! 'Was it atomic?' 'Very atomic!' Tongue )

I fear we must ask for this knowledge, since we will never be truely prepared.

(I didn't think D&D The Movie was awful, it just had an irritating contempt for the rules.  I want to play a rogue that can go toe to toe with a fighter and win.)

My list of awesomely bad movies:

Xanadu
Critters
Flash Gordon (I actually got the actor to sign my 3.5 PHB at a con, he didn't know what D&D was...  Shocked )
Needful Things
The Hazing
Godzilla: Final Wars
Final Destination 3 (mostly because of Mary Elizabeth Winstead)
Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
Stay Alive
Comando ("blow off some steam...")
Tremors 2: Aftershocks
Maximum Overdrive
Shark Attack 3: Megalodon (just watch it... http://youtube.com/watch?v=1nzd0R_OeOc )
Night Feeders

and I pretty much agree with 90% of the rest listed on here...  I blame some of these on the fact that my friends and I have a bad movie night once a week.

Maximum Overdrive - i have that on DVD. Emilio Estevez has a look on his face that says "How did i let my agent talk me into doing this?" all through the movie. It's so cheesy it's absoultely great.
