B-movie night
Jan. 29th, 2006 02:08 amIt was movie and game night up at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dronon's place tonight. We started off with the B-movie, and then settled down to play a couple games of Betrayal at House on the Hill. It's a fun game, though I lost both games (playing on different sides each time). I highly recommend this game, with the caveat that it has limited replay value. The game depends in part on each side not knowing what the other is up to, but once you've played through one of the 50 scenarios, you lose that element for that scenario. Thus you can reasonably get 50 uses out of the game before it's played out.
The movie for the night (selected by an unsuspectingdronon) was The Wild Women of Wongo. I don't know if mere words can properly describe how bad this movie was. The premise was insulting, the story was at times uneven and unfailingly stupid. The acting was horrible - though to the defence of the talentless hacks in this movie, I don't think that even an multiple-Oscar winner could have done much with most of the lines in this movie.
The best acting job was probably the surreal scenes with a barely-intelligible talking parrot who served as the Greek Chorus at random moments in the film.
To give you an idea of how bad this movie was, it made Zontar the Thing from Venus and Schweigende Stern, Der (First Spaceship on Venus) both seem brilliant in comparison. I should point out that we are expecting most of the movies in this DVD set to be bad, but this movie really lowered the bar for the ones to follow. It's going to be a hard act to beat.
