Added to my really incredibly bad, 1950's, black and white, sci-fi/horror movies viewing. One of my favorite genres since I was a teenager. "The Killer Shrews." Starring James Best who would years later go on to fame as Roscoe P. Coltrane.
I even recorded it to disc .... you know just in case friends want to come over and watch it. Or if I'm in the mood at 2:00am some future freaky random Saturday night ..... which happens to be its proper time slot. What I mean to say is, if it was good enough for Turner Classics Movie channel .......
It matters not to me what others might think. I think these types of films are classics!! Bad, inane, mind numbing dialogue, bad laughable acting, really bad plot, but great fun. Reminding me of staying up late on the weekends, with a dozen Dunkin' Donuts and maybe a friend or two. Shooting baskets in the driveway, playing pool in the garage and laughing over some bad television. My kind of party life back then.
My parents must have thought this behavior abnormal. Yet they allowed it. Better in their minds I suppose than joy riding in dad's truck and running it into a tree at odd hours. Which my brother once did .... well except that it wasn't dad's truck, it was my car. But I'm straying off topic now. Funny the things a bad movie will cause you to remember.
