The Nuklear Science Theater 75000 Suggestion Thread

Shyria Dracnoir · 06-16-2013, 04:23 PM

Attention NPF,

This thread is an open letter from the Edward Wood, Jr. Memorial Cinema Foundation. Over the years, we've prided ourselves on our ability to provide you, the public, with a diverse range of entertainment options ranging from "camp" to "godawful" and all the way up to "turducken of stupid" levels of quality. We believe that the best way to appreciate cinema is to understand that, no matter what direction the industry takes, there is, has been, and will always be something worse. Often is the case that the only purpose a film can serve is as a warning to others, and promoting a wider awareness of these pitfalls is just as crucial as pointing out examples of film-making done right.

To that end, we need your help. Although the Foundation has amassed an arguably impressive collection of films over the years, it is by no means comprehensive. Therefore, if you have a film that you feel would be a good fit for the Foundation and that is not already in the archives to your knowledge, let us know. We accept films from most historical periods and national origins, though we do request that foreign submissions provide options for English-speaking viewers (either through subtitles or dubbing). Additionally, providing a source where the submitted film can be acquired, whether through an official release or otherwise, while not required, would greatly help Foundation staff. In addition to full-length films, we are also accepting short film and serial television suggestions, with the same provisos.

Once your submission is complete, post it in the comments below. Foundation staff will periodically review suggestions and, where needed, post information on recent acquisitions to gauge interest in future events. While the Foundation's standards for acceptable films are admittedly low, we would prefer to avoid screening films that are genuinely offensive to general taste without sufficient warning to possible viewers. It is an unfortunate truth that many of these films were made in an unenlightened age or by unenlightened individuals.

We thank you for your continued support and hope that with your help, the Foundation can continue its work for some time to come.

-S. Dracnoir, Chairperson of the Edward Wood, Jr. Memorial Cinema Foundation

I can be a windbag at times, can't I?

Would anything on this list work?

If Tv Tropes is to be believed, Ahnold used to make his kids watch Hercules In New York as punishment for when they misbehaved.

Oh and if the foundation accepts Tokusatu series, might I suggest these timeless classics? (And if you're feeling particularly masochistic, Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation is available on Netflix Instant Watch. It literally hurts my soul to watch that series.)

So, you guys will recall how I mentioned that a lot of films I run into toe a fine line between crack and genuine offense? I felt like I should ask about this one before anyone stubbed their toes on that line.

Surprise, it's the Bin Laden zombie movie that got Kickstarted last year

So, yea or nay?

I'll pass. It was annoying enough trying to take him out once.

The other day, I saw a movie where dem spoilers.

The movie was so amusingly bad I watched it with my mom XD. I cannot remember the name though.
