Day 12: Pocket Ninjas

     I was still in the movie watching mood today and so I made my challenge movie themed. Simply put, I decided to watch the worst movie ever made. After a little bit of research and a fair amount of controversy, I found a list on the Huffington Post's comedy section of the top ten worst movies ever. The list consisted of obscure titles and it didn't seem like it was in any particular order. And that got me thinking, would you rather be famous for directing/ acting (though if any actual directing or acting had taken place, the movie surely would have escaped the fate such a list) the in the worst movie ever, or the second worst movie ever. I think that I would go with being know for making the single worst film, not just the runner up. I mean hey, if your going to suck, you might as well not suck at the sucking part, am I right? The movie I ended up watching was the 1997 martial arts classic, "Pocket Ninjas". Take a look at the trailer...

     This is a real movie. Somebody actually put effort into this crap. I couldn't believe it either. I sat through this monstrosity about crime fighting preteens on roller blades and wrist guards. It was laughable at some points (not in a good way) but I'm not about to say that I'm proud that I watched it. If you've got some time/ brain cells to kill and feel like making a horrible life choice, I suggest that you watch this diamond in the rough. I'm honestly dully amazed that I even made it though the film.

Day 11: Movie Marathon

I think that it goes without saying that I felt like shit today. If you have already read my previous entry, you would know that I had the pleasure of barfing my guts out for all of last night. I wasn't feeling too hot and didn't really want to do much of anything. I sat on the couch under a large blanket with a near by just-in-case-you-need-to-hurl-again trash can watching movies for most of the day. I kept watching until that turned into all of the day. Thats the only thing that I've done today, watch movies, which, is new I guess. I've never just wasted an entire day on movies.

I tried it once, in the backyard of my neighbors house. We wanted to break the world record for the longest movie marathon. So, about 5 of us 12 year olds stocked a small tent full of Zebra Cakes and Cheeto's with an even smaller T.V. in hopes of breaking a record and bringing pride to our small town for making constant movie viewing history. If I recall correctly, I believe that we made it through about half of the first movie (Liar Liar with Jim Carrey) before the snacks ran out and our attention spans ran out.

So I guess my movie marathon will have to suffice because I wasn't feeling up to doing much more than being awake and the crappy weather outside made me feel better about wasting my day in front of the boob tube. I'm feeling better now so tomorrow's challenge shouldn't be so pathetic.
