Be excellent to each other

Recently I told myself I wasn’t buying any more books or movies till after January 2016 but of course, after saying that, did I do everything I could to avoid the discount bin? Of course I didn’t. At least I can console myself with the fact that all together it was less than twenty dollars and that all three movies were cheaper than they would have been on Amazon or Amazon marketplace.

I feel I should explain that I love B-movies, cheesy movies, and movies others might classify as terrible and that I make no apologies for this love. Judge if you must :P So what so-called terrible choices did I make yesterday?

1: The 10th Kingdom, back when I was a teen and before Once upon a time or Fables the comic book, this was my favourite interpretation of fairy tales meeting the modern world.
2: Splash, I can’t justify spending twenty five bucks on The Little Mermaid but I can justify spending five bucks on the second place childhood classic.
3: Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure & Bogus Journey double feature. Ok, so this might qualify as terrible but for five bucks I figured why not? It was the last copy and I'm a sucker for nostalgia.

Nostalgia has also gotten me into reading (or in some cases re-reading) Sweet Valley High recaps at 1bruce1. This series I will readily admit is terrible and should not be consumed by the age group it was written for but I will also admit I love looking back at how terrible & ridiculous it was. Essentially it's like someone had written crack fanfiction but managed to pass it off as legit.

So friends, what terrible things (books, movies, etc) from your youth did you love or still currently love?

I loved 10th Kingdom and Bill & Ted.

One would think I'd have seen Splash by now, but nope!

Awesome! I've gotta say I'm surprised so many people who commented heard of the 10th kingdom. Most people I know offline have never heard of it.

I likely would've missed it if they didn't have Warwick Davis. I keep up with most everything he's been involved in.
