Monstervision is particularly well-suited to my tastes--the only problem is I can never remember when it's on, and when I do catch it, I'm never in the mood for a movie. Oh well.

Thank you for confirming my suspicion on what the "real" readership of the page would be. The stated purpose of the page is for it to be a place where lovers of bad movies can find reviews and recommendations on bad movies they might like.

However, Sam and I have discussed this matter, and both of us came to the eventual conclusion that the actual *readership* of the page might be made up more of people who just like to *read* about bad movies, not necessarily watch them. So that's why I strive to make the review itself funny, even if the movie I watched wasn't. Unfortunately, it seems like I have *more* success writing funny reviews for movies that I didn't like, which irks me.

Anyway, glad you like the site.
