    With all the exploitation of gore, nudity, action, sexuality, cheesiness, one-liners and such...the question is:
    Ridiculous?...or ridiculously awesome? or both really...


    sorry, it's late and I just got done watching From Dusk Till Dawn.

    I personally love them.

    What I like about B movies is anything can happen, nothing has to make sense, there doesn't even have to be an end, the movie can simply stop at any moment.

    If there were no B movies, there would be no Evil Dead and that my friend makes a sad, sad world.

    What amuses me is that there are plenty of B movies that are far superior to the trite spat out these days that claim to be A movies. Unless someone can find me a B movie that was less entertaining than Police Academy 7 or Beverly Hill Cop III....

    Sometimes I really miss the 70s trend of pointless nudity, casual sex and bloody dismemberment. :(

    Most of John Carpenter's films qualify:

    They Live (a classic!)
    The Fog
    Vampires
    Halloween
    The Thing (although arguably it was created during his short A-list stint in Hollywood between this and Starman).

    I prefer to watch my B films with Mike and the bots.

    It doesn't matter what happens to the people as long as the dog survives.

    My vote for most pointless, awesome, and random nudity in a movie goes to Return of the Living Dead. Keep dancing, Trash.

    The Nocturne and I watched this movie last night. Amazingly, awesomely bad, but beautifully perfect. The kind of movie today's mock/parody movies play off, with the bad lines and terrible acting, but at the same time it was great.

    And the last scene is actually shot and put together really well, it's just ridiculous.

    We both recommend it if you haven't already had the experience.

    (we found it in Kroger for $9.99, good luck.)
