My favorite part of the Back Catalog Effect is the stunned posts when someone finds a movie that is so bad she cannot even believe it. When Boa vs. Python was making the rounds a while back, there were a few posts that were absolutely incoherent with confusion, because apparently watching that movie is kind of like ingesting a very large dose of one of your more aggressive hallucinogens. People would go off to watch it totally normal fans, and they'd come back broken women mumbling vaguely about snakes and t-shirts and oral sex. I loved it. (Once I was sure the affected fans would pull through, I mean.)

And it always comes with picspam.

*nods*

crimsonclad's Family Album picspam was MADE OF AWESOME. And it had the added advantage that I got the fun of mocking the movie without having to watch four hours of, um, you know. Danielle Steel's plotting and some seriously alarming costuming choices. (Schoolmarm at the Oscars. The Red Turtleneck of Gay and - am I just making this up, or was the RToG paired with a sparkly black vest? Oh, god. I'm going to have to go look at the picspam again.)

It's a fun take on the three characters -- they're grown ups, they know what they want (okay, so only two of them will admit it), and it's all-around good stuff.

*nods*

Yes, precisely. They're grown-ups! At least two of them! And the other one is, you know, also grown up, and he's probably gotten over at least a few of his hangups by now. I hope.
