Damn! Was on sbs late last night -missed a beauty by the sounds of things.
Welcome to a decade ago Digglet!
After having seen the Snow Plough or WTF that crap show was called, my lifetime supply of watching movie crapness has been expended.

If they ever screen “Troll 2”, have a look at it.
Probably the peak of anglo edit-remakes of Italian 70s horror. You know going in that it’s essentially two movies, made at two different times, in two different languages spliced together, and marketed as a sequel to a movie it had almost nothing to do with; but it actually doesn’t feel as cohesive as you expect.
I was actually watching something about Troll 2 not being legitimate sequel last night.
So apparently the story is that Troll 2 was originally called Goblins and never had anything to do with Troll, until some studio execs decided to cash in on the Troll name and rebrand it to sell some extra tickets.
Supposedly there isn’t even a single appearance or mention of a troll in the whole movie.

I saw it last night. Like most of you, I too had read several opinions about the film but chose to reserve judgement until I had seen it for myself. And now that I have, I must say it as bad as ‘they’ say it is. There are several catagories of bad. Sharknado for instance is a poor movie but it doesn’t pretend to be anything else. Marabunta (the 1998 remake, not the C Heston original) is a truly appalling moving whose stupid premise is matched by some of the worst acting you’re ever likely to see supported by special effects which make 1960’s Rachel Welsh sci-fi/fantasy films appear cutting edge. But The Room is wrong on so many fronts that you can’t believe you’re actually watching it and deserves a catagoroy of wrongness all to itself. I won’t describe the plot in order to not spoil the fun for those who haven’t seen it but those chicken noises, ill timed and inappropriate sex sounds and the appearance of a football for no apparent reason (several times) are the least of the problems with this film when compared to the appalling dialogue, weird editing, odd camera positioning, non-existent continuity and arguably the worst single acting performance ever captured on film in the history of cinema.
If you haven’t seen it, you should.
Hahaha, what a story Mark!

Disaster Artist is great. Tommy is actually now infront money wise from this movie.
