We all do things we are ashamed of, but I've been a to a few Ren Faire's and they are mostly fun. Yes a bit pricey, but everyone there is having such a good time it is hard to hold it against them.Roman J.

In his book A Year at the Movies, we learn why. Apparently, he used to be a RenFest geek and became ashamed of that part of his life.Sitting Ducknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801441755423984496.post-29991081633540477132014-07-29T16:49:46.664-07:002014-07-29T16:49:46.664-07:00You are living a lie my friend.

Maybe the first one got a theatrical release, but I kinda doubt it. When I worked at the video store we had a ton of these early and mid 80s fantasy films. And they were a ton of fun to watch. But yeah this one was pretty late to the party. And Deathstalker IV was even later, 1991 I think.<br /><br />You know sometimes the Syfy stuff is fun to watch. "Sharknado" is a blast. But it is obviously in on the joke. With these older ones they aren't always in on it, or sometimes just a few of the cast seems to be into the whole thing, or aware this is a horrid film. Thom Christopher has to be in on the joke, I mean look at that mug!Roman J.

Even with the comedic riffing. :) I certainly would have to be in the mood for it. What's odd, we tend to think of bad movies like this occurring in the past, but the Syfy Channel continues to crank out awful ones as well: Dinocroc, Sharknado, etc. But there seems to be a difference. I don't think that the directors back then thought they were making anything other than to dupe a few teens out of some spending money--but I sense a difference somehow.<br /><br />It's hard to believe that Deathstalker was made in 1988! It looks like one of those straight to VHS releases. The lure of the video is the packaging--slap some Boris Vellejo-looking art on it. This is the sort of stuff I wish was playing on the Comedy Channel, but doesn't. El Voxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985563041511492981noreply@blogger.com
