Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Are you on Facebook?
Yes. E-mail me at richie@badmoviebuff.com with a link to your profile if you want to become fake friends with me. Eighty year old men offering webcam shows stay away please.
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?
