Double Feature with Dave!

Dave and I got together today and finally had a double feature of Troll 2 and Best Worst Movie.

First off, Troll 2 is not the worst movie either of us have ever seen.  We actually both really enjoyed it.  Everything about it is bad (acting, the script, the costumes, etc.), but all the bad is what makes it so good!  It's a movie to watch with friends and a good time can be had.  I can't even begin the explain the plot, but that's not necessary.

So, following Troll 2, Dave and I watched the documentary about it called Best Worst Movie.  It was a very enlightening doc, that was directed by the young protagonist of Troll 2 but mostly focuses on the "actor" who portrayed his father, George Hardy.  I'm not sure how long of a time elapses throughout the film, but you kind of see Hardy rise to cult status, as the film has over the last 20 years, and then the slow "decline" he experiences.  Now that he truly declines, but as he states himself, he kind of burns himself out.  Throughout the course of the film, a majority of the main cast is interviewed, and also participates at events around the US that establishes the cult status of the movie.  There are a few depressing parts, especially the scenes where George and Michael are visiting the actress who played the mother, Margo Prey.  A highly enjoyable look into the film and the fan base it has.
