Saw The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra at
zapf's last night (a full-length parody of 1950s sci-fi/horror movies that was made a few years ago). It is a fantastic thing to watch with a large group of people and I had a grand, grand time.
This movie is a perfect example of how one has to be really good at something to do it badly in just the right way. The thing that stood out for me the most was the writing, which was so full of amusingly awkward phrases and mis-used words that still managed to make sense that I was left remarkably impressed with the writer's command of the language. In fact, "command" is a particularly appropriate word to use, as the script was like a military marching demo, with words being led around the field in patterns complex and precise, criss-crossing around to form amusing shapes. =:)
...aaaand? SEQUEL!
