Vijith Assar surveys New York’s scene of special screenings and informal get-togethers where the worse the movie, the happier the audience.
On 11 July, social networks lit up in perfect synchronicity at precisely 21:00 New York time, when US cable TV channel Syfy began broadcasting its latest project. Sharknado is a profoundly ridiculous new movie, part disaster film, part creature feature, in which the titular twister starts over the ocean, picks up a swirl of angry sharks and moves to Los Angeles, battering it with wind and teeth. Viewers are likewise assaulted by enormous plot holes and third-rate visuals – rubber sharks being sliced in two with a chainsaw, half-baked CGI explosions and ‘90s teen idol Tara Reid. I Love Bad Movies (ILBM) is a DIY ‘zine’ published by Brooklyn couple Matt Carman and Kseniya Yarosh that has released five volumes of enthusiastic commentary since 2009 and might as well be the scene’s publication of record.

Razzies vs Oscars: Can bad movies ever be good? 29 February 2012Last updated at 01:57 By Kate Dailey BBC News Magazine Will Bucky Larson be recognised by the Razzies?
Truly bad movies can sometimes be more entertaining, and enlightening, than high art. But are their days numbered? There are two types of bad movies: boring films with lacklustre scripts and ho-hum acting, or outlandish, offensive bombs with over-the-top performances, awful jokes and unbelievable plot lines. The former are instantly forgettable. But the latter incite anger in some fans and enthusiasm in others, drawn to the size and scale of the cinematic disaster. Take Human Centipede II, which takes grossout horror to a new level. It's these films that are recognised by the Golden Raspberry Foundation, otherwise known as the Razzies, which announced its nominees for the worst films of 2011 during the flurry of pre-Oscar excitement last weekend.

The Real-Life Events That Inspired Sunday's Game of Thrones Episode. If you’ve been on the Internet at all since Sunday night, chances are pretty good that you know what happened on Game of Thrones whether you wanted to or not.
But let me warn you now that there be spoilers ahead, so stop reading if you’re still trying to stay in the dark. Still here? OK. As shocking as Sunday’s Starkicide was, what’s even more shocking is that events like these actually happened. Author George R.R. The Massacre of Glencoe In 1691, all Scottish clans were called upon to renounce the deposed King of Scotland, James VII, and swear allegiance to King William of Orange (of William and Mary fame). Unfortunately, it was December 28 before a messenger arrived with this all-important letter from the former king. Maclain was detained for days when he went through Inveraray, the town of the rival Clan Campbell, but still managed to deliver the oath, albeit several days late.

Denmark's 'naked lady' TV show causes furore.
A year ago I visited the headquarters of the Danish public broadcaster DR to film a piece about the international success of their dramas Borgen and the Killing.
The two protagonists in those series were strong, feisty females who took no nonsense from anyone. So it seems a little surreal to be back in Denmark now to talk to the same broadcasting company about their new show, called Blachman, in which a woman is required to stand naked in front of fully-clothed men and to remain silent as those men talk about her body. "It's not reality TV! " protests the show's inventor and host, Thomas Blachman. "And it's poetry, not porn. " Yet it makes uncomfortable viewing. "I'm not really keen on shaving and waxing," he comments, before remarking to his co-host that the woman has nice feet. The woman, paid around 250 euros (£214) for her appearance, just stands there and takes it. "Oh come on!
