They Came Back Wrong

Outcast Boys Movie Night

Compare this theme to Outcast Young Women Movie Night. You could also expand this week's theme to Outcast Boys Who Are Maybe Like That Because Their Mom Isn't That Great. I briefly considered saving these until Mother's Day but they're really more about the boys. Let's hear it for them.



Bad Ronald's director is Buzz Kulik who, besides having an awesome name, directed one of the best known TV movies, Brian's Song. Bad Ronald may not be quite as well known but I can't imagine its remake is too far behind after Don't Be Afraid of the Dark was remade last year.



The titular character is played by Scott Jacoby, who may be most well-known as Bea Arthur's son on Golden Girls but you definitely know his brother Billy Jayne. We've seen him in Bloody Birthday and Demonwarp (he's a serious future candidate for the Five Timers Club) but you know him more as the brother in Just One of The Guys or as Parker Lewis's friend.



In fact the whole family is amazing. Other brother Robert Jayne was in Tremors.



Sister Laura Jacoby was in Rad. The other sister was mentally challenged but so independent.



Just kidding. She's a regular on The Colbert Report for writing books on American anti-intellectualism and secularism.

If the mother in Little Corey Gorey reminds you of Divine it's not a coincidence. Divine was meant to occupy that role but he died right before filming began.

And so the post doesn't end on that note here is a kitty cat:

They Came Back Wrong

The bad news is Marissa and I recently lost all the pictures on our camera's memory card. The good news is I found a free recovery tool that worked great. The bad news that's actually good news is that some of them came back... wrong.

Skater Movie Night

I haven't seen either of these movies. This hasn't happened in a long time. Okay, I did watch the first five minutes of each movie to see if they were suitable. They were so suitable they should be on Mad Men. The last time I remember doing that was for the movie Biozombie and you remember how that turned out. And by you I mean the people that actually watched it, Wayne and Ed.



I do know that Roller Boogie stars Linda Blair, who we've only seen at BMN in Savage Streets.



But after I watched Hell Night and The Chilling in the last few weeks I've only recently come to the conclusion that Linda Blair is awesome.

Since I tried to show Roller Boogie three weeks ago I've run into a reference to it on the podcast Stop Podcasting Yourself. Seems guest Mark Little made a parody movie called Roller Town.



Before realizing that no one has seen Roller Boogie. Incredibly, the only opportunity to see Roller Town recently was if you were at the Museum of Modern Art on Sunday or Monday this week.

All I know about Thrashin' is that it ends the five week absence of Sherilyn Fenn.

Demi Moore Movie Night

Judging from these posters this is going to be the best BMN ever. I mean, that one poster is burning itself!

Revenge Movie Night

It's been two-and-a-half years since BMN last served up a dish of revenge and it's getting cold. Also, both movies are only legitimately available on VHS so I hope you like tracking issues.  

Eliminators is such a mishmash of ideas that involve cyborgs and nunchucks that it might as well be the movie version of Axe Cop.

 

 It's written by the guys who would eventually write The Rocketeer.

 

One of whom had already sired Rachel Bilson.

   

Imaginary 5-year-old Rachel Bilson: Daddy, look what I made on my first day of kindergarten!  
Imaginary Danny Bilson: Quiet Rachel!, I'm trying to resolve this scene between the cyborg and the cavemen.  

The Annihilators reminds me a lot of Kill Squad with Cameron Mitchell. Luckily no one remembers that movie.



It's directed by Charles E. Sellier Jr., who made Silent Night, Deadly Night, and stars Gerrit Graham, Beef from Phantom of the Paradise. It does not star Maria Valdes.

Bald Maniac Movie Night

Yes, that's the original theme for this Friday. Then Jim Rash won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay





and I briefly felt bad. So I framed the theme as "Things We Missed in February". But now that FIVE days have gone by all is forgotten. Look, there are plenty of great bald men. Kojak, Gandhi, Jason Statham. But for every Daddy Warbucks there's a Lex Luthor.


The Unborn was our 22nd movie. Exactly 350 movies later we're watching its sequel so you might not remember what happened. I don't either except for how Kathy Griffin was a lesbian hoping to adopt a baby and Lisa Kudrow was a secretary at the adoption agency. Plus I had to warn Marissa that the baby stabs a guy in the eye.


[YouTube video gone since then]


In any event, there is a baby in The Unborn II, it's bald and it's a killer. Oh, and Nick from Family Ties is in it.


Blue Sunshine is not Blue Valentine



Which is why I refuse to watch Blue Valentine. It's the same reason I haven't seen  Extremity  Cloud and Incredibly Doused. Hmm, is that close enough to a joke?


Blue Sunshine is directed by Jeff Lieberman, who made previous BMN movie Just Before Dawn and someday BMN movie Squirm.




It stars the recently departed Zalman King. I'm fascinated by the Wikipedia entry for the King-directed, erotic drama Two Moon Junction:

The film is noted for the final film appearances of Burl Ives and Hervé Villechaize, as well as the theatrical film debut of Milla Jovovich.

What kind of sick movie is that?
