Assignment #67-Favorite "Bad" movie:
This is soooo easy. My favorite "bad" movie is "Mr. Wrong;" 1996, starring Ellen DeGeneres (she is so funny), as Martha and Bill Pullman (so cute) as Whitman. Okay, it's a silly movie about "Martha" finding the "perfect" man, and there he is in boots, near the juke box, picking up that quarter: that is my favorite scene---in fact, just that scene of Bill makes the rest of the film bearable, even when he's throwing that can of beer at the old guy (I was kind of shocked seeing him do that) after he gets Martha to steal at the AM/PM market. Sigh.... And, of course, how can anyone forget that beautiful wedding ceremony, with the little flower girl hiding a gun under her bouquet of flowers, as drug induced Martha walks up to the altar with her crooked tiara? Haven't we always wished to be in a wedding that special?
Memorable Quotes:(?)
Inga Gunther: Bob cut the couch!
Martha: Don't cut the couch HEY..
Inga Gunther: HEY IS FOR HORSES!
Jack Tramonte: Ok Whitmans records. Lived with his mother until about six months ago. Had one serious relationship with an Inga...Gunther who once tried to assassinate the rock temptress.. STEVIE NICKS!
I have somewhat silly story to tell you about my video cassette of "Mr. Wrong". Apparently, I had rented "Along Came A Spider" at one point at the neighborhood Blockbuster. Weeks later, I got a notice from them stating that I had still not returned the movie. This did not make sense. After a few more weeks, I called the Blockbuster personally to try and clear up the matter. Apparently they were waiting for my call.
"Oh, you must be the lady who turned in the WRONG movie."
"Wrong movie? I only saw "Along Came A Spider" one evening, and turned it back in before it was due. I just don't understand."
"No m'am, let me explain, you turned in the "Along Came A Spider" video jacket with the wrong movie. We have "Mr. Wrong."
Gasp! Did I really put Mr. Wrong in the WRONG case?! I went immediately into my video collection, grabbed Ellen and Bill, and took out the movie that was inside. It read: "Along Came A Spider."
Ironic, hey? Hey, I even was married to a Mr. Wrong, and gee, I dated a lot of Mr. Wrongs too! I can laugh more now---'cause now I've got Mr. Right!

Truly bad. Funny Blockbuster story too. I rented a two-disc set from them once and returned it. A few days later, I got a notice. "But I took that back." About a week later I went to watch another DVD and found the bonus disc still in the player.
