And the fact that the boy was the only person in his whole family who knew Hey You.
The Island of Dr. Moreau.
A buddy and I saw it at the drive-in in high school because it was playing on a double bill with Independence Day.
Man, was it horrible, but we insisted on getting on our money’s worth and stayed through the whole thing.
I was bored out of my mind, but my friend kept himself entertained by talking to a guy parked next to us about catching badgers.
I’ve remembered a few more.
National Lampoon’s Bagboy. Yes, someone in America actually watched it. Luckily it was a Netflix download, but I did sit through the whole thing. I didn’t think movies could be that bad. It achieved whole new levels of badness that had never before been achieved by movie-kind. When the Guinness Book of world record adds a section for worst commercial movie ever made, this will be the movie that gets that place in the book.
I also watched The New World. I don’t know how I managed to stay awake, but what’s more I don’t know why I made the effort.
I once watched an entire “Larry the Cable Guy” movie, I can’t remember the name of it. Everyone else in the room laughed hysterically the entire show, I kept wishing that Larry would fall off a cliff or something. Horrible, horrible movie, I felt dumber after having the pictures flash upon my eyeballs once the thing was over.
No one in the audience said anything about it when he was passing it off as his own, either.
Dumb.
A Sound of Thunder. It was horrifically bad and I can’t believe I paid money to see it in the theater. I must have been really bored.
Read the short story instead, folks.
The First Incredible Hulk the Ang Lee monstrosity. My sister stood up at the end and said loudly “God that sucked!” Our whole section doubled ove in laughter.
