nope that was just a nickel that was stuck in the pile of sh*t that is squirm Nope - Squirm is a great movie and why should anyone listen to you anyway? You think The Texas Chainsaw Massacre '74 is a bad movie.

^^^^ Yeah no doubt! Whoever cast that jacka** as the lead character should be taken out in the street and shot. I also LOVE how they riff on the sheriff character as well. How big of tool is that guy?! lol ;D

This was my favorite riff on the sheriff: - (Sheriff and bimbo lying in bed cooing and being cutsie with each other) Servo: "So..........you just bring her here to have "afterglow" or are you gonna actually attempt to have some sex sometime today!?" And here's your scene with the plywood tsmooth: - (as Roger throws the plywood on Mick) Crow: "Death by particle board." Mike: "You're a stupidhead!" Here's some other goodies (and pictures so people who haven't seen it know what the hell Mike & The Bots are talking about): Here's the movie poster. Too bad the movie wasn't half as cool as the poster makes it look. Here's Mick and Geri. Mick's the movie's hero. Seriously. And, of course, the infamous Roger. This guy gives hooples everywhere a bad name. Alright, now you know the "characters" here's the riffs: 1. Crow: (describing Alma) "Kevin McHale, crossdresser." 2. Crow: (describing Roger) "If Steve Young and Alvin the Chipmunk had a baby..........." 3. (over a closeup of Mick) Crow: "There's a lot of Elton John in that face." Mike: "Wow, most faces can't take much." 4. (talking about Mick) Mike: "Why does it not surprise me that he has weak ankles?" 5. Crow: (to Mick) "Hey, Richie Cunningham, tuck your shirt in." 6. Crow: "So, how is it possible that Jerry Reed isn't in this movie?" Tom: "I don't know." Mike: "It's freakish." 7. Crow: (as Mick looks unsure) "Save the girl or go antiquing? Hmmm... Antiques, here I come!" 8. (Mick: You see Roger around?) Crow: "Let's ask Mr. Beardsley. Mr. Beardsley!!" 9. Mike: (describing Geri's car) "The Ford station wagon: unsmall at any speed." 10. (Sherrif: What business you have in Fly Creek?) Crow: "I wonder what be so fly about that creek?" 11. (describing Gilbert, the man in the short shirt) Crow: "Can't decide between short sleeves or long? Split the difference!" Mike: "Well, it's not as bad as the time I said 'No muscle tone.' Never recovered from that." 12. Crow: (as Alma carries a candle) "These candles made from dad burn real good." 13. Tom: (after Geri speaks) "Come on, no ones's THAT southern! Tone it down." 14. Crow: (describing Geri) "A pencil with hair! Oh, oh, no, it's her." (a bit later) "A badly dressed swizzle stick! Oh, no, it's her." 15. Mike: (as Mick grimaces) "Leave me, skin pigment!"

Here's Mick and Geri. Mick's the movie's hero. Seriously. Yeah and what's your point? There is no hero in this movie. This is a horror movie, not an adventure film. It's not Indiana Jones. Did you think it was Indiana Jones? A James Bond movie? If you think the guy's funny looking... than you obviously paid more attention to him, physically, than I did. You have to take other things into account. Like camerawork, lighting, music, location / setting. This movie was great at evening them all out. Which created a very natural atmosphere. Necessary for any good horror film based on natural events (basically). And horror is about messed up things happening to normal people. When the people actually look more like the people in real life, the movie has actually done a much better job than usual at making it realistic. Much like Phantasm and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. And that was the 1970's: the anti-movie star decade for Horror. How does what the characters / actors look like make an impact on the quality of the film itself? How the actors looked never changed the logic or the plot of the film. So, really, why are you even mentioning how the guy looked? Are we talking about a horror movie or a Model / Fashion Show? And, of course, the infamous Roger. This guy gives hooples everywhere a bad name. Okay, you obviously didn't even try to watch the movie. You have to follow where a movie leads. You follow it's logic, plot, and production values. If you found the actors / characters so distracting looking, that just means you have a flaw in your attention span and are very superficial. What you think about how the people onscreen look do not impact the quality of the film - only on your ability to like it. I actually watched the film and judged it for what it really was. I don't get why you're acting the way you are about this movie. Honestly, this means now that every horror movie ever made sucks just because a few of the actors onscreen are funny looking to someone. TCM may not have been a bad movie i just didnt like it..i expected alot more... What more did you expect? squirm was just plain terrible That's obviously not true. If it were, why did I, Leonard Maltin, and the Los Angeles Times see that the movie was actually good? Two totally reputable critical sources - and Me... Why would we like the movie and think it was good if it were actually terrible??

well from the texas chainsaw massacre i expected maybe some chainsaw action..
and i dont even know who Leonard Maltin is..and who really gives a damn what a few critics say..take a look at all the other reviews everywhere else..
so you,Leonard Maltin, and the Los Angeles Times liked it...that makes 3 compared to about 50,000 people who thought it was crap.

Here he is, the all-knowing wizard that is, Leonard Maltin. Why in the hell would I, or anyone else, give a holy crap what this toolbox thinks about ANYTHING?! Honestly Laz, did you really like this movie on your own judgement, or did you like it because your "master" Leonard told you to? Completely ridiculous. The movie has absolutely no value whatsoever. And that goes for the lighting and "normal" looking characters too. Where the hell do you live where people are walking around that look anything like the rubes in this film?

^^ I've watched his little "show" more than a couple of times. And the guy is a total fuc*tard. He makes Roger Ebert look like a friggin' genius. And that's REALLY hard to do.

So you guys don't know anything about Leonard Maltin, you're just judging him based on a picture? If intelligence could be measured that way, we'd never have the theory of relativity. Einstein wasn't the smartest looking guy in pictures. Anyway, I'll admit he's definitely lost his way since about 1999, but he has only seen and reviewed every singled U.S. theatrically released horror film ever made! He's seen more horror films than any of us, and based on a picture you think you can discredit all that... ? I don't expect everyone to take him seriously, but his experience speaks for itself. And he just happened to pretty much be right about Squirm. He didn't say very much, so there was plenty of room to elaborate on.
Anyway - you 2 wouldn't have a clue about Squirm's quality. You're too busy talking about great a movie An Episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 was... It's not actually a movie, it's a TV show. Get your noses out of those robots' butts!

Did you NOT read my post? I DO know who he is and I HAVE seen his show and READ his reviews. I'm not judging him on his appearance! One of the people I like and respect more than just about anyone, Kurt Vonnegut (r.i.p.), looks every bit as goofy as Einstein. If not, then more so. I don't hate Maltin anymore than I do ALL movie critics. I've never relied on other people's opinions to form my own. I couldn't care less what any of them have to say about any film. And experience doesn't necessarily equate to higher knowledge. Example: Dick Cheney.
