Bad Meaning Good 10

Monday, January 18 2010

Monday February 1st marks the latest in our 'Bad Meaning Good' film event saga and this time around we'll be screening the much-beloved 1978 trash musical and triumphant, cinematic tour-de-force 'The Apple'.

The cult appeal of 'The Apple' has endured for obvious reasons... The movie is an outrageous spectacle of excessive and terribly half-assed ideas... And it is totally, fucking hilariously awesome. I've always thought of it as a see-through attempt at trying to recreate the underdog success of 'The Rocky Horror Show' while cutting as many production corners as possible. The film has such a preposterous mess of a premise and is so inherently flawed at its core that its potential for success starts somewhere fathoms deep in the red. It is by far the most inept musical I've ever encountered and I find it a thoroughly hilarious and laughable production from top to bottom. It's great and if you haven't, you need to see it.

I've yet to do a proper Bad Meaning Good case study on the film (though I might be forced to in light of its upcoming screening) but here is a review from Bad Movie Planet.

Also, here is an even better one from the House Of Self Indulgence. (This person's write-up is particularly fantastic.)

... Can't wait for this one to go down. More info to come!
