Title: anti-film Poll #2 Attack of Troma Studios
Post by: lowky on October 26, 2007, 10:22:38 PM

I ended the poll a couple days early no ones voted in two days, and I will be going dark soon.  Have been unemployed for some time and I have to move, and don't know where I am moving, my lease is up on the 31st  I figure I will be without regular net access for at least a month.  So round 3 will have to be someone elses responsibility or it dies at round 2

I decided to put up some Troma classics against Highlander 2 this week.  Troma movies, you either love them or hate them from what I have found, there really isn't much in the way of middle ground. 

Incidently the last choice by Matt Stone and Trey Parker of South Park Fame is based on the real life story of Alfred Packer. 

So there you have it Last weeks winner (loser?) Highlander 2 versus classic Troma movies. 

My vote goes to Highlander 2 cause I actually am a fan of the Troma movies (but nto their sequels so much)

Putting aside that I've only seen one of the Troma flims, I don't think it's fair comparing bad movies (Highlander 2) vs. movies that are intentionally bad and cheesy, such as the Troma movies, or Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, or Lost Skeleton of Cadavra.

I actually wasted money seeing Highlander 2 in the theater, and I just sat there, absolutely gaping at how unbelievably horrible it was. Up to that point, I don't think I'd ever imagined that someone could make a movie that bad.
