A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.

Rules:

  1. Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
  2. Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
  3. If posting links for people to watch the movies let them be legal ones. (Free is best but not when it's shady, you dig?)
  4. Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

I meet the author of the book at a convention years ago and asked him about the watermelon. He said someone higher up started micromanaging the director big time about halfway through the movie. Director put it there without anybody's approval so there would be one thing in the movie that was his decision alone.

Thank you. The element of absurd rebellion fits the movie perfectly.
