One of the traits I feel I’m blessed with is the ability to laugh as most any situation. This comes especially in handy with bad movies. I’m not talking about Bad Movies like, “Waterworld” or “Toys“, but BADDDDD MOVIES like, “Jack Frost 2: Revent of the Mutant Killer Snowman“, “Tromeo and Julliet“, or “Jason X“. The “straight to video” movies.

I think that watching these movies opens up your mind and soul for a new type of experience and sensation. One where your mind’s third eye is opened and and aware to new way of being and life…then stabbed by a runaway killer zombie who used to be a simple farmer, but turned the wrong way in the cornfield and decided to examine that mysterious puddle of goo coming out of the smoldering rock that wasn’t there yesterday. If you’ve ever seen “Teenage Catgirls in Heat“, then you know what I’m talking about.

Last night, I prepared myself for another ones of these experiences when Lee and I were exploring Movie Trading Company and he found this one flick, “The Specials“. The tagline is: “Not as good as regular superheroes, but slightly better than you.”. It has Thomas Haden Church (Lowell from Wings), Rob Lowe, and one of my new favorite actors, “Sean Gunn” who plays Alien Orphan/Doug.

The movie opens with a quick monologue by one of The Specials’ biggest fans. She says that The Specials weren’t the “cool” group to like when she was in school. She then says “Screw that I liked Winger better than Bon Jovi, I still do!”

It has its slow moments, and it’s hilarious moments, but if you have an open mind, then I promise that after watching this movie, you shall reach a higher level of movie consciousness.

Buddah in the House, out.
