Los violadores (1981)
For Fox Sake.
This is one of the absolute truly best worst films ever made. Miss it at your peril if you are a fan of excellent excrement celluloid. I mean, a Swiss/German biker wrecksploitation film with the worst dubbing, acting, soundtrack, 'plot'...hell, worst EVERYTHING KNOWN TO MAN...what's NOT to like? Go to www.filmthreat.com and see my article on it, "Hello Bastards! Here's A Little Present For YA!" to experience its true worthless splendor blow by blow.
Enjoy.

What Women Want (2000)
Sadvertising.
I especially liked the part where it was obvious Nike had paid to have a huge ad placed in the middle of the film as an 'account' the advertising execs were 'working on'. Made me dash out and buy a pair of women's running shoes the next day. Not that I'm gullible or easily led, no sir!
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)
Ahab?
Okay, I admit, I didn't quite get the Ahab thing. Was it some sorta oblique, not-in-the-book reference to finding the elusive American Dream, like Ahab chasing Moby Dick, or what? I also hate the scene where Depp is wearing the lizard tail, too, cos it's just stupid; where is he gonna get something like that? Of course, he wouldn't know, and that's partly the point. But it's not in the book either. And the book is one of the best ever written.
