Zapping thru the channels back in 1994, friends and I joyfully discovered Troll 2, which has since that moment been the worst movie I’ve ever seen. Though the costumes were horrible, the dialogue stunk and the acting was painful to watch, this movie still had something that kept us glued to the set. I even ordered the DVD a couple of years ago remembering how bad (hillariously good) the movie had been.

I guess my friends and I weren’t the only ones who found this movie delightful despite its negation of quality. A documentary film, Best Worst Movie, has just been produced. And surprisingly, it seems to be drawing huge crowds. Maybe this really wasn’t the “worst film of all time” as IMDB claimed…

Via Best Worst Movie

Drive-in theaters were the staples of Americana in mid-20th century US culture. From the snack booth, to the pigtailed girls, to the convertible cars, it was a unique and exciting experience to visit a drive-in. But as technology and social norms changed, the drive-in theater began to take a backseat to home videos, dvds, digital mega-ultra-super plexes and the iPod Video. Well, word on the grapevine is that the drive-in is making a come back, partially driven by baby-boomer nostalgia and partly by hip kids wanting to show off their cars while watching a new movie. This brings me to the Ford-Wyoming drive-in, located in Dearborn, Michigan, which is the last operating drive-in movie theater left in the Detroit metropolitan area, and just happens to be the largest drive-in theater in the world. Dating back to 1951, the drive-in has 9 screens showing the latest Hollywood blockbusters and can fit 3000 cars on it’s lot. The Ford-Wyoming is open year round, so those of you in the Detroit area have no excuse to support an icon of the American landscape. (Naturally you should be visiting in the hybrid automobile of your choice).
