MST3K'n it

Moving day is less than 2 weeks away. Naturally, I'm terrified. I think we have about 12 boxes packed. I foresee busy days ahead.

One of the grand traditions my siblings and I have is "Cheesy Movie Night." It's our own version of MST3K, except we pre-date that. We find the best/worst cheesy movies we can, and mock them unmercifully. A good time is had by all.

As a side note, we've found that there are essentially two kinds of bad movies. "Mockably bad" movies are just that --exceptionally funny though they were never intended to be comedies. "Lost time bad" movies, no the other hand, are movies which are so bad they are not even mockable. It's important to note that many movies are intentionally cheesy, and don't fall into the "mockably bad" category. Only movies that were meant to be serious can be mockably bad.

For Cheesy Movie Night, we find as many intentionally cheesy and mockably bad movies as we can stand and watch them back to back. Previous movie nights have included Anaconda (mockable), Deep Blue Sea (mockable), and Wing Commander (lost time).

Last week's selection included disc 1 of Invader Zim (awesome), Darkness Falls (mockable), and Demon Hunters (also awesome). The next night we watched Demon Hunters 2: Dead Camper Lake (equally awesome).

Cheesy movie night is a fine tradition, and I highly recommend it for anyone.
