Why I Love Sharkboy, Part the Second

Distractions, Hobbies, Toronto

Just inside the doors at every Rogers Video there is a bin of DVDs that go for $2.99 each. These bins hold such ground breaking direct-to-video classics like “Urkel – The Movie!” or “Sister Trouble 4: Death on the Amazon” or “Kriplah! The Talking Fiat from Belgrave!”

We make a game of covering our eyes and digging into this bin and pulling out a movie each, worst movie wins. Usually we have to debate who’s movie is cheesier. He always wins.

“Mine has Tom Selleck!”

“Ah, but mine was directed by Allan Smithee.”

“Damn.”

    I won the original Batman film with Adam West. It’s probably the only comic book movie I’ve ever really enjoyed.

    But… Allan Smithee. That rules.

    My bro was once on a Canadian game show with Linda Blair back in the early 80s. He said she kept on burping out her answers.

    Maybe you can find “Roller Disco” on Bittorrent?

    The other day, in Best Buy, I ran across the movie “Roller Disco”, starring a very big-haired Linda Blair. It took every ounce of self control I had to not buy the film (that, and they wanted $19 for it).
