Generic

Those who know me know that I really love movie genres and I'm pretty catholic in my tastes except that I don't much care for the "arms in the air triumph movie" or the "girls sitting around the table talking until they dance around it" pictures. I love melodramas, old movies, films noir, swashbucklers, screwball comedies, westerns, blockbusters, even the rarely discussed mountaineering movies.

Slate, this evening, ran a piece on its new "Slate TV" feature and managed to hit on some kind of weird movie subgenre that even I failed to have experienced. I haven't even heard of this guy and his weird mission to bring terrible, terrible redubbed Mexican "horror" movies to weekend matinees.

Witness the guide to The Worst Cinematic Crap That's Ever Been Made, Kiddie Flicks, part 1. (The link takes you to the "Arts & Life Channel" where the face of the Evil Queen from Snow White will guide you to the piece). A quick glance at the excerpted scenes will put all kinds of kid video into a new perspective.

I must say it is remarkable.
