Life Less Ordinary

Good Lord, man. Don't you watch any movies prior to 2000? Although Ewan had been in alot of things before Trainspotting, that movie is what launched him.

Peter Jackson directed one to do with zombies or some such. B movies are fun guilty pleasures every now and agian.

You're thinking of Peter Jackson's The Frighteners, which was about ghosts- Which, if I may say so, was a hella underrated flick- Wasnt meant to be a B-movie, but ended up being so- It's a really great movie, I urge you all to check it out-

I think he means dead alive. ANother one of Jacksons great B movies, if you even remotely like the muppet show, then check out Jacksons other movie meet the feebles. Its the muppet show on acid.

How about Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. How many Kevin Smith flicks have they been in?

They can have my "Firefly" DVDs when they pry them from my cold, dead fingers....

Oh yeah,

you, FOX TV!!

Check out Joe Bob Briggs' website for more about B-movies. He used to be on TNT Monstervision. Joe Bob is the king of b-movie trivia.

To really apreciate B-Movies though and even the proffesion of acting its almost required to read Bruce Campbell's biography "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B-Movie Actor," It is probably one of the best and most insightfull books I've read in a long while.

Also, I'm not sure that anything that Kevin Smith has done can be considered B grade. The general rule (as I see it) is that if it's sci-fi/fantasy/war its B. If its anything else its Artsy.

Dont ask me silly questions.

Hey man, dont you remember "My Bodyguard"?

Thank heavens I'm not the only one who does. Adam is the second lead in it, and he's great. Of course, it was made in 1980, when many of our board members were still in diapers.

Not really a B-movie thing, but I think I saw Adam Baldwin's name flash past in the credits to an episode of Jackie Chan Adventures.

Been trying to figure out who he might've been. The only two with deep, gravelly (Jayne-type) voices are Capt. Black and Tohru, and I'm pretty sure Capt. Black is Clancy Brown.

It's also possible he's doing some wildly-non-Jayne voice, and being Uncle (scratchy old-guy voice), or maybe El Toro (Mexican luchadore), or something.

Adam Baldwin does the voice of Finn on Jackie Chan Adventures. Finn is one of the trio of bad guy lackeys who always gets his butt kicked. Just FYI.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure the Peter Jackson movie everybody is referencing is, "Bad Taste." Aptly named. It's about zombies that are controlled by aliens in their quest to take over the world, or something along those lines. "Meet the Feebles" needs to be erased from everyone's memory. It's a good thing the folks at New Line never saw it, or we'd never have gotten "Lord of the Rings." It'd be like Roger Corman doing a Shakespeare play without machine guns...nobody'd believe it.
