So far I've been happy with my iPod but I know for longer rides I'll need some visual aid. I was thinking some kick-your-ass fight movies... martial arts is a great genre for bad but compellingly watchable movies.

Terminator: Salvation was pretty bad too ... but yet still rather rewatchable. hmmmm .... it fits a lot of the criteria .... might have my Sat ride movie picked out. AND Christian Bale is challenging Kevin Costner for shit movies. <br /><br />Mark - all the resident evils are perfect trainer rides. Especially Apocolypse, it is pure crap. We may have to make a list of ALL approved bad trainer movies?

You can thank me later.<br /><br />You should have seen my Wattage output during the scene when John Travolta and Forrest Whitaker were calling men, "Man-animals" and they hear our language like we hear monkeys? It was so gawd-awful that it was awesome. I was sitting there thinking who wrote this shit? And then remembered it was the scientologist dude and it added just another layer of comedy. Just try watching it will make you want to jumped on Oprah's couch and then call Matt Lauer "Glib" .... okay maybe not.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061773215250783439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-90186243261571373722011-01-14T09:01:26.646-06:002011-01-14T09:01:26.646-06:00Pre Read Thought:
