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.
