We watched Sharknado on Monday night. It takes a special kind of actor to work in movies like this. Not everyone can deliver that hilarious faux serious dialogue without cracking a smile. Oh how I wish I would at least get a chance to audition for a speaking part in the sequel. There has to be a sequel.
Or better still... Live on Broadway... Sharknado: the Musical. I've got to believe that bad dialogue is more hilarious live.
I love it. I love when I am laughing at it in a public place and no one understands why I am laughing.
IFC ran the movie The Warriors this evening. If like me, you too enjoy really badly written scripts, then this 1979 gem is a must see.
Does it surprise anyone that I don't really "fit in" in my surroundings. I have friends, I interact with the world. But there aren't many people that I have met who can truly appreciate the Gertrude Steinishness of poorly written (and delivered) pseudo-conversations.
Mostly after watching sharknado, I spent the rest of the evening begging HusbandBob to write me a horrible screenplay and then take me to one of the Carolinas for movie production. I'm envisioning a Blair Witch Project meets Flight of the Concords.
Once you get into the groove of the absurd, it's hard to leave.

My absolute only regret for not having cable/satellite anymore is not getting Sci-Fi. Yet, there are still many awful Mystery Science 3000 movies out there for our kind;-p
I do the same thing! Sometimes, I love when the hubby puts on movies from the 70's cause all I do is sit there and giggle the whole time. If you end up making that movie, I SO want to be in it!!
Mee too! I wanna be in it, too. I want to mignore the laws of physics and nature and deliver bad dialog with profound solemnity. "We have to get through, John - for the children."
I loved the part in Sharknado where he plunges back into the shark and pulls the girl out, alive!
I'm perfecting my New Zealand accent as we speak and am waiting for a call back...
