What's some of the stupidest stuff you've seen? Once, someone tried to sell a ghost in a jar on ebay and the bid got to $50,000. I droped out at $5000. |

I was standing at a record store browsing through Over The Rhine CDs (a great band). Anyway, these two over-the-top white trash crackers came up and stood next to me. I mean these guys were stereotype city- like that guy in Squirm or the guy in Riding With Death. So they start looking at CDs next to me and come across Prince's LoveSexy album: www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000002LE6/ref=m_art_li_24/104-7638959-0999952?v=glance&s=musicThey look at it, then look at each other, then look at it a bit longer. Then finally one says to the other: "Yup, I'd shoot him." I had to run out of the store I was laughing so hard. |

Stupidest thing ever? Well there are many candidates, but the one that comes to mind right away are: inventions that are supposed to help, but become an annoyance. Big example: Car Alarms.

Another dumb thing would be on eBay as well. Someone tried to sell Brittany Spears fart in a rubbermaid container. Someone else is also trying to sell an F/A 18 Hornet fighter jet.

Turned on the dish this morning, Jack Frost 2: Attack of the Mutant Killer Snowmen was on.  Wow. Could not even finish watching it, and I came in with only twenty minutes to go- What a mess- |

(Since this is a MST3K board, I am going to restrict myself to bad movies.) The stupidest movie I've seen so far is "No Greater Glory." This movie was made one Ken Siegel, a rich shoe salesman from New York state who happened to be a Revolutionary War reenactor. Anybody who has seen "Time Chasers" (#821) will know exactly what Rev.War reenactors look like on film. Anyway, Ken decided that public TV needed a show entirely produced by a reenactor, with most reenactors playing themselves in the film. His intention was to sell this epic to public broadcasting stations all over the nation. Like all great bad film, it was written, produced, etc. by Ken alone. The result was predictable: wooden, static scenes, bad accents, terrible horseback riding, stupid story line and an entire battle reenactment from start to finish make this one of the greatest bad films of all time. It never got released, even public broadcasting wouldn't show it. All this reenforces the adage: "Just because you can make a film, doesn't mean you should!"

Please, good Dr.Z, if the film was never released, how did you find out about it?
Sounds like fun, though..

Please, good Dr.Z, if the film was never released, how did you find out about it? Sounds like fun, though.. OK, fess up time! Full Truth! I was a revolutionary war reenactor (23d Foot Royal Welch Fusiliers in America) Ken was an officer in our regiment. I knew about the making of it, and they asked us to take off work to come up and help with the film. I declined because by the 80's I had a REAL job that I didn't want to quit so I could spend 6 weeks living on bad food and sleeping in tents. I was more of an adult by then. After it was all over I obtained a copy of the film and at first I didn't believe my eyes, then I started laughing. It literally changed my life. Up until then I thought reenacting was a great way to educate the public. After I saw this movie, I have always been self-concious that what the public may be seeing is me taking part in a stupid freak show with black powder guns rather than learning anything about history. When MST3K did Time Chasers it reinforced this belief to where my wife (who is also a reenactor) must beg me to go to an event. Once you become self-concious about your fantasy they can never be as satisfying as it once was. Such is the saddness of growing older. |
