The rubbish underground movies of Bruce La Bruce
 
Ever experienced the appalling self-indulgence that this most untalented of film directors unleashed on his mainly gay viewers?Today i'll give the prize for crappiest movie to this one in particular as i've had to watch it fair few times and the only interesting thing about it the Butthole Surfers t-shirt that the protagonist wears while chatting to an older punter:





 


Type: Features
Distributor: Strand



Rating: NR
Running Time: 106 Minutes



Starring: Bruce LaBruce, Liza Lamonica, Mikey Mike, Klaus von Brucker, Chris Teen
Directed by: Bruce LaBruce
PLOT DESCRIPTION
This pseudo-documentary profiles Bruce, a fictional gay porn actor/and director. The film features some hard-core sexual activity that may be disturbing to some viewers. The "creator" of the documentary is the artistically affected Googie. Most of her scenes end in blackouts of Bruce, his former lovers, and his lesbian punkette buddies Wednesday & Jane Friday. There are also numerous clips of Bruce's porno films, with titles such as "I Am a Fugitive from a Gang Bang, and "My Hustler, My Self." Also included are clips from Googie's own attempt at experimental filmmaking, "Submit to My Finger." ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

I can appreciate some crap films for their crapiness, but that one looks filthy & appalling. :D

It gets worse,believe me.'My Hustler,My Self' features a studdly Tony Ward(one of Madonna's exes) in probably one the worst attempts at acting i've ever watched in my entire life.He(Bruce La Bruce) has a myspace,apparently:

I forgot to mention that Richard Kern makes a cameo appearence on 8 1/2,if it's of any interest.

I need people to reccomend me GOOD movies. I know only the mainstream stuff and most of it's terrible and overdone just like in music.

Oh i dunno.It's kinda a No Wave/porn/underground rip off of Warhol,for wanting of a better term.

Speaking about crap movies,

I recieved my copy of "Thundercrack!" on DVD, two days ago.
Porn B-film from 1975.
It's terrible, but well worth seeing.

Tokolosh,do you like Derek Jarman?

Tokolosh 12.08.2006 10:08 AM

I know his music videos (80's), but not his movies.
I'm not sure if I've seen "The Garden".

porkmarras 12.08.2006 10:12 AM

I don't know why but i have it in my head that Lydia Lunch may be also connected to La Bruce,somehow.

Jarman-wise,i love his 'Caravaggio' which took me a few years to appreciate fully.Something like 'Blue' is great if you watch it on an enormous grey wall with the headphones on and do stay away from 'Jubilee' because it's rubbish(well,mostly).

I got Super 8 1/2 for 2 bucks recently. I love a bad and/or cheap-assed movie, but this thing is impossible to slog through. Not only is it badly written and sloppily filmed, but the sound mix is muffled to the point where even with the volume maxed, much of the dialogue is still inaudible.
Crap even compared to other crap.


Edit:
Thundercrack is a weird combination of several genres, including explicit porn, but isn't a straight-up "porn movie," and is well worth seeing.
That's a weird one. Haven't seen it in years.

Recent crap underground movies include:

The Doom Generation (1995)
Baise-moi (2000)

Well worth seeing.

Oh yes!Baise-Moi is good crap!

Another crap movie that i watched recently was 'Irreversible'.If it wasn't because the whole movie is shown in reverse,the story aint all that apart from the mean scene in the gay club.

porkmarras 12.08.2006 11:50 AM

Oh here's another crap movie that i love watching:

Bad Taste!!
 

krastian 12.09.2006 12:47 AM

^Nice one.

Tokolosh 12.09.2006 05:21 AM

Bad taste was good.

 

Speaking of brilliant crap...
