Have you ever watched a monster movie that is so awful, you find yourself cheering for the monster? I was just watching a 90's version of the Japanese monster movies, this one featuring our old friend Gamera (the turtle creature) trying to save Japan from the Gaos, a flock of carnivorous pterodactyl thingies that are snacking on the residents of Tokyo. After about 45 minutes of this Mighty Morphin Power Rangers knock-off, I found myself wishing Gamera would flip Japan the bird (no pun intended) and let the Gaos just snack happy.
That kinda leads into some of the really bad slasher flicks where you hope and pray that if there is a God (or Goddess, if you prefer), the killer will slit every single vocal cord in the whining, screaming throat of the "heroine", who's only skill is to run whining and screaming in her underwear...if she was even wearing any to begin with....you get my point.
Some people actually find these scary, or thrilling...I usually watch them when I can't sleep and I need something to bore me to sleep. Really, I think they would serve a better purpose as a torture device in the Middle East:
"Tell me where the weapons are!"
"I tell you nothng, infidel!!"
"Tell me, or I will make you watch 'Gamera: Guardian'!!"
"No!!! Anything but that!! I tell you everything!!"
