There's nothing more fun than getting a few friends together to watch a bad movie. I'm here to tell you about those essentials ingredients that every Bad Movie Night should have.
Alcohol. The universal solvent. No night of sitting on the couch and yelling at the tv is complete without alcohol. But how do you know what spirit to choose? Let me be your guide:
Beer: Excellent choice. You can't go wrong with beer. Drink as much as you want - trust me, you're not going to miss any plot points. On rare occasions, I'll find that some movies actually make more sense when you're drunk.
Vodka: The Gary Oldman of alcohol, vodka can be added to pretty much anything and make it better. Except Lost In Space. Nothing could save that.
Wine: I'm sorry Miss Honeychurch, I didn't realize we were watching A Room With A View. I was under the impression we rented Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Can you recommend a nice Sauvignon Blanc for the scene where they drink that guy's blood through a crazy straw?
Under no circumstances are you allowed to drink wine at Bad Movie Night. Some girls will insist that they drink only wine because they don't like the taste of beer. You shouldn't be hanging out with these girls.
Tequila: Go ahead but you're not going to make it to the end of the movie.
Manhattan: I have never had one of these and I have no idea what's in it. The only time I would drink it is if I was watching Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. Yes, there are that many Friday the 13th movies.
Water or Soda: I hope you're driving everybody home.
For the record, A Room With A View is a lovely film that presents a brilliantly romantic interpretation of E.M. Forster's novel. Its lush bucolic scenery is marred only by a distinct lack of female nudity.
