Book descriptionThis book was a relic of my youth, yet I had never owned a copy until now...a very fine First Perigee Printing, 1980 paperback for a mere $1.50 procured at Nashvilles mega-mammoth bookstore warehouse, McKays -- a.k.a., my second home.Taking some its bad movie award categories to heart, let us make our own, in the style of the book: Best bad-movie book written by a cool dude who once got it but who is now a smooth-talking disinformation agent for Fox News... And the winner is: ... Michael Medved.Lots of once-cool dudes seem to have succumbed to the perks of being Fox disinformation agents. I hear the pay is good, and you get invited to exclusive functions.As fun as the book is, though, I always thought of it as something a bit too frivilous for my serious film library, but there are several reasons my attitude has changed on that, which I will further elaborate. The real clincher that forced my purchase, though was this (somewhat edited) passage describing the Medved brothers journey in the early 1970s to the Arcade, a sleazy skid-row LA movie house to see Scream, Blacula, Scream, a film they eventually bestowed with one of their golden turkeys:...Our tickets were taken by a hulking security guard nearly seven feet tall. His presence no doubt helped to ensure a restful evening for the audience members. The most enthusiastic spectator the night we paid our visit was a large rat who ran down an aisle to the front of the theatre to get a better view of the action on screen.Not only do we get the grindhouse atmosphere in this and the following passages (in which a small riot nearly starts because of a disruptive elderly cougher), but we have a very sly comment on the quality of the film: a rat wanted a better view of it.Needless to say, because of its vintage, the books overview encompasses films that are all now considered ancient, and to its credit it reaches all the way back to the silent cinema in its march forward to the late 70s. I offer a little perspective for all of those who call the book dated: the movies had been around for 90 years when this book was published, producing vastly more than has been produced in the last 35 years. Keep that in mind. Would an update be fun? Maybe. But the book would no longer be seen as terribly unique in light of all the relatively trivial grindhouse/psychotronic/exploitation/bad movie books (and even Eberts Your Movie Sucks) that have been published in the intervening years.What this book (and its sequel, Son of...) deserves credit for is starting the whole genre of psychotronic film publishing. The Medved brothers take it from a snarky, satirical, sarcastic angle, to be sure -- in contrast to many of the latter-day books that seem to have a genuine respect and affection for putrid cinematic effluvia. The difference in tone is that the Medveds believed bad movies should be called out and shamed, while the newer aficionados (even when snarky) celebrate the fares sleaze, cheapness and cheesiness, and wear their checklists of crap like badges of honor.One of the good things about this fallout is that camp has gotten the respect it deserves. We now can unashamedly declare Bette Davis Beyond the Forest a cinematic masterpiece, revel in the repressed turmoil and undercurrents in the hysterical Douglas Sirk melodramas of the 1950s, respect the style, gusto, flamboyance, and possibly unintended subversiveness of Russ Meyer and his grindhouse kin.This book came out as the midnite movie was taking hold across the country, and deserves some credit, too, for helping fuel that phenomenon. While in college I attended a bad movie marathon week at the Oriental Landmark Theatre in Milwaukee that was pretty much a reiteration of titles in this book (Plan 9 From Outer Space, The Terror of Tiny Town, and so on.)It was coincidence, of course, that this book was published the same year as New York film enthusiast Michael J. Weldon published his first issues of Psychotronic Video, a handmade homage to exploitation and cheesy sci-fi, but in terms of the zeitgeist there was no coincidence at all.The theaters where we once saw these bad entertainments are largely gone, but it lives on in video formats and the new places that hipsters gather to celebrate same, the Comic-Cons and the like.As for the book itself, I wont review its content, which is consistently hilarious. I plan to read it in small bits, particularly at times when things get bad. I can smile at something worse than my own lot.It is film geekerys urtext, and can be appreciated as part of this complete breakfastAnd Michael Medved has graduated from bad movies to bad politics. Oh but for the days of the more fun Medved; those days before Fox News and its ilk have made things a lot less fun for us all.(KevinR@Ky)The Golden Turkey Awards by Harry Medved download acquire buy shop ipad
