Frequently Asked Questions
You're such a magnificent, sexy bastard. Me and my model girlfriends want your number; can we have it?
Sorry ladies, I am taken. You can e-mail me your freaky pictures, though, via richie@badmoviebuff.com Your full names, email and home addresses and personal pictures will be either deleted or kept confidential.
Do you plan to have a page devoted to comments and questions in the future?
In the event that another human being ever sees this website and feels compelled to write me (please do) something coherent, yes.
Why do you do this?
This website serves as an outlet for my misguided intellect, which used to be much greater before the CIA implanted all those chips into my brain in order to take on volcano-dwelling megalomaniacs. I have to admit, its fun to bash lousy films even if intentionally seeking them out smacks of hypocrisy. Maybe I have self-esteem issues.
Why do you only review/recap bad movies?
Like 99.9% of all other people who pollute the internet, I'm a chronic complainer, preferring to talk about things I hate rather than things I like. Plus, if I were to review a good movie it be rather brief, such as:
Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)
Humphrey Bogart is in it. It's a drama. Its good. I won't spoil what happens.
Stop wasting time on the internet and go watch it.
Why do you pick on such easy targets?
Because many of the people behind bad films (particularly recent ones) make a great living putting formulaic or nonsensical crap up on the screen. In the meantime, greater talents toil in obscurity on great, personal stories, like certain individuals with three great scripts stuck in the black hole of the Studio pipeline. Not that such people are bitter, heheheh.
How many people write or work on this site?
I'm both the sole writer and webmaster of everything you see here. Except, of course, for some of the facts I find (thank you, IMDB and Wikipedia) and the pictures of the films I take.
Will you ever review TV shows?
Maybe I'll do an occasional one here and there. As far as TV comedies go, I'll just say that The Honeymooners was great and everything has gone downhill since then.
Do you watch anything besides movies, like sports?
Yes, I like the four major North American team sports. Two of my favorite teams are the goddamn New Jersey Devils and the fucking New York Mets.
I'm a moron. I enjoy tepid dysfunctional family indie films and loud studio films full of CGI and pretty actors. What films should I really watch?
