Trash
Lately, I got into trash movies. You know, ones that nobody watches, and even if someone does, he or she is embarrassed to talk about because they’re so awful. Awful to the point that people want to forget them straight away, however not dreadful enough to become cult classics. For now, of course, as I smartly suspect they grow into the league of finest same way the best wines do.
Yes, these are the movies I watch lately. It all started rather accidentally as one night I decided to watch something different. That different was Because I Said So. Although I expected a bad movie, I was dying for it to finish. Still, I just couldn’t storm off. The movie was so tragically atrocious that I just thought – hey, what if they did it on purpose to create a timeless masterpiece that Quentin Tarantino would scrutinise and appreciate? I haven’t had a chance to talk to Mr Q lately, but I believe he wouldn’t. It’s creepiness and freakiness that’s missing. Important ingredients, mind you!
Than I ran into another one, that goes under a name of T4xi. For those who are trying to find a reason for such a stupid name, there’s a hint. Maybe it’s a sequel. Or maybe it’s a sequel of a sequel. Or, what if it’s a sequel of a sequel of a sequel. Yes, that must be it. One might also encounter this disaster under a pseudonym Taxi 4. Without letting too much out, it’s a French comedy. An evidence that Gaulish flicks can be as hopeless as their American counterparts. Fortunately, not all of them are.
And next example: I attempted to see… Hm… An older one… How was it called?? So bad I even forgot its title. Body? Bladder? Belly? Yes, that’s it! Bingo! Real hard core stuff about Afro-American businessmen. Impossible to dig, impossible to cope with. Outstanding gem. I couldn’t distinguish between all them niggaz, they were all kind of blending into one. Pity they weren’t wearing badges. Anyway, I can still highly recommend it to those who are about to enter the trade.
And there is so many others that I just can’t get out of my mind. Take Date Movie. One gets sick just mentioning it. Still better than Basic Instinct 2. And the ultimate epic of the nineties, probably first movie I ever walked out on, Showgirls. Though, I have to admit, it was so extremely grim that it’s already on its way to be a cult classic. A piece of crap is turning into masterpiece.
Thinking about it, I might be doing the best thing: watching trash means watching future finest. See, how clever? So would you know of any marvels-in-waiting, please do not hesitate to let me know. A short email or comment will do. And thanks for watching!
