Punishment Movie Night

Punishment Movie Night, which follows a Bad Movie Night where no one showed, was last shown almost three years ago. But that doesn't mean we went that whole time with perfect (at least one in) attendance. No one came to Rat Movie Night but the following BMN was Easter-related and time-dependent so punishment was avoided. No one came to Gay Movie Night but the following BMN was our three-year anniversary so punishment was avoided. Your disinterest has been well-timed but you couldn't avoid it forever. Still, that's two-and-a-half years. Yay us.

I'm sure nobody remembers Cry Wilderness but when that movie played a BMN-goer said it was terrible. My response was to say if that's true I'm never going to show The Force on Thunder Mountain. It has everything that's "terrible" about Cry Wilderness but lingers on it for five additional minutes. Per occurrence! But I'm going back on my word since that person is no longer with us. It's not what you're thinking, they're dead.

TFOTM is like a nature documentary with no narration and human guest stars. One of the human's wrote a four-out-of-five star review on Amazon a few years ago. He says it's "a good kids' story" and the "music was as bad as the story line". I'd add the dog in it looks like Mushroom from Gremlins. Five stars!



Referring back to that last Punishment Movie Night with Ogroff and Las Vegas Bloodbath, Dance or Die takes place in Las Vegas as well. Must be something about that city that makes your movie intriguingly bad. See also: Double Down, Showgirls and The Hangover.

Dance or Die also has dancing in it, which reminds me, see Breakin' 2: Eletric Boogaloo next Thursday at 6:30 at Madison's Central Library.

Here's what happened last week:
