It's Probably Healthier than Mainlining Metallica, However It�s happening again. Remember how I previously racked up my LackLuster movie queue up to 999 and still had an auxiliary list in a word.doc of over 300? But then I leapt from the LackLuster leaky boat of continuously raising fees over to the shiny but less expensive NetFlix, all to create a new queue that was a reasonable size, whereupon I wouldn�t get movies in the future that would make me wonder �Why the hell did I put this in my queue?� But as I said earlier, it�s happening again. As of this morning, I have 392 movies in my queue. And I went down the list, and more than once, the question �Why the hell did I put this in my queue?� cropped up. Of course, there are movies that I just haven�t gotten to that are high on my list of �Must See Simply Because They Are the Epitome of BAD� such as Night of the Lepus and Teenage Devil Dolls, but also such classics as M and Hush Hush . . . Sweet Charlotte. But then I get down further in the list, nearer to the middle, and I see titles like The Whip and the Body and The Hollywood Strangler Meets the Skid Row Slasher. What the HELL was I thinking???? Obviously, I made some sort of . . . connection . . . with these movies, otherwise they wouldn�t be in the queue. The movie features someone famous who desperately wants to live down the fact that he or she was in this movie, or it�s an early flick by a now-famous director, or . . . it just looks so deliciously bad, that some auteur somewhere was desperate to put this movie on celluloid. However, if it wasn�t for these movies, I�d never get any knitting done. It�s a small sacrifice. I just wish my brain wouldn�t lose so many brain cells in the process, though.
