Curving a bullet is it real?

What's the deal with bad movies? Why do they have to be so entertaining?! I've been in a drought of movie watching--I work and go to school full time-- and when I do have a spare two hours I feel obligated to watch something decent, something I can talk about in public without gritting a self-conscious smile, something I can talk to my co-workers about without saying, "No, really! It's totally bad ass!" I don't want the good though. I want the cheese, I want non-stop shit, full throttle obnoxiousness, I want to watch the National Treasures of contemporary cinema. At one point in my life I was proud of my movie snobbishness: my complete collection of Wes Anderson Criterion Collection DVDs and my Sergio Leone Anthology, but those timeless movies are dead to me. Who cares Who Virginia Wolfe Is? Am I right? Is it wrong to watch two sexy stars with superhuman killing abilities make a bullet curve in Wanted? Because damn it, that's something just stupid enough for me to be intrigued by for two hours. I love bad movies and here is my top ten of the genre:

The Shit List
1. Independence Day
2. The Rock
3. Con Air
4. Speed
5. Twister
7. National Treasure
8. The Core
9. Total Recall
10. Pootie Tang

That felt good.
