Until Eli Roth comes out with that Thanksgiving movie he keeps talking about based on his fake Grindhouse trailer, I've run out of Thanksgiving movies for Bad Movie Night. But I think birds eating people comes pretty close.
NSFW:
Joe Dante is the one who called the bird in The Giant Claw the all time dumbest 50's monster. He even made a movie about those kind of movies called Matinee, so he would know:
The Giant Claw came out one year before Plan 9 From Outer Space making it the oldest movie we've ever seen. Someday we'll watch Freaks from 1932. You know the Thanksgiving-y line "Gooble, gobble, we accept her, we accept her, one of us!". I like how the IMDB plot summary says the bird in The Giant Claw "has no regard for life or architecture". This is no architecture enthusiast man-eating giant bird.
Beaks has a place in Bad Movie Night pre-history. It was on TV late one Saturday night a few years ago after Marissa and I got back from a party. I realized what a great combination drinking and bad movies was. For some reason "Chicken As Live Animal" is a plot keyword. I don't know what that means.
Did you see the Entertainment Weekly poll about what the best worst movie is? Starship Troopers won but that movie is like that on purpose so people are stupid. From the others we've only not seen Xanadu and Grease 2. Any interest?
Here's what happened last week:
