If I have to force myself to sit through something, then it's bad--and this includes a lot of Best Picture winners and critical and audience favorites that I won't name. But if I enjoy it, even if it means laughing in the wrong places, I have to thank the filmmaker. Ed Wood's PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE is so hugely entertaining and, in its own peculiar way, highly original, that I can never call it bad or "worst."

I have a memory of reading a book by Edith Head when I was in jr high, and have been interested in costumes ever since. Liked De-Lovely very much. I mean, Kevin Kline. Plus Cole Porter music. And Beyond the Sea was interesting, as I do remember Bobby Darin very well. True bad movies? In our house my husband has that covered but I do like Major League. Very, very silly sports movie that makes me laugh every single timeTrisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08058396345946250313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-92015256495579825312017-04-21T14:28:54.615-04:002017-04-21T14:28:54.615-04:00Bad movies are sooooo good!

Then we switch places for the second draft, and finally do a pass through the manuscript side by side as "Renee Patrick." It's awkward, but it has the added advantage of also being time-consuming.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473441336451528462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-52381329968023439132017-04-21T14:09:55.906-04:002017-04-21T14:09:55.906-04:00Nor me.

I can't wait to read "Dangerous to Know!" <br /><br />I don't know if this qualifies as a bad movie, but I always have to stop what I'm doing and watch "Selena." It's a biopic, and I knew the sad ending before the first time I saw, but I can't look away! Maybe because of the music?<br /><br />On a different topic, how do you two write together? Do you actually sit in the same room, crowded around the keyboard? Swap chapters?
