Movies can leave us feeling a little bit lost at the end. Did Julia Roberts and Richard Gere really stay together after the end of Pretty Woman? And did either of their children grow up to be whores? Thankfully, we've got Moviegasm to help us get a little closure.
***Just because it's the beginning of Fall doesn't mean that it's time for the crappiest movie releases of the year! Wait. Yes it does. To celebrate the oncoming glut of trash, please welcome back Mike Betette with another installment of Trailer Trash! by Mike Betette

Hi America, good to see you. How have you been? Great, great, okay, can we sit down? Oh man this isn't going to be easy. Look, I think you might have a problem America, so just make the jump, because we need to talk.

Hey Gasmii, welcome back to another week at Trashback. We have a lovely little movie for you...You know what? I can't stand little things. Little dogs poop everywhere, as do little kids now that I think about it. Little bosses seem hell bent on punishing their normal sized employees for their own inability to reach the top shelf, and "little" problems on tax audits are always the ones that get your rump nailed to the wall. Little sucks, little blows, and that's why this waffleboy loves big. Do you love big? Of course you do, you're an American, you can't help it. Incidentally, being an American is also why you do crappier on tests then Europeans, prefer jeans that are super duper extra relaxed, and thanks to that diet that got you into those super duper extra relaxed jeans you are probably going to die of a stroke that could take out Godzilla. U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! Wait, what the hell was I talking about? Oh right, little bad, big good. Thanks you're the bestest, and might I add those jeans look great on you?
Yeah, screw little right where it breathes! We're not going to talk about a little movie today, oh hell no; it's going to be a big movie! And not only that, but it's going to be a big movie that not only requires zero thinking on our part, but actually repels intelligent thought just by having it in to your home. Yeah, our movie is going to be big and dumb, because let's face it; you can't get any more American then that. So rustle yourself up a big bowl of popcorn, a jumbo bag of candy, and the new official drink of Trashback, a Big Gulp, and get ready for 145 minutes of big dumb crap in the 1996 release, Independence Day after the jump.

Well another week has rolled around, and that means it's time to take a look at another crap movie near and dear to my heart [Release the doves], and I've got to tell you I'm pretty excited about this one. Not only do we have all the things that make for a quality crap experience, explosions, senseless violence, peppy yet moronic catch phrases, and boobs, boobs, boobs, but all of this fudge brownie awesome comes courtesy of a story written by one of the all time great science fiction authors, Phillip K Dick.
I'm about to fly my nerd flag, so apologies in advance, but Phillip K Dick is one of the smartest, most intelligent writers of speculative fiction the world has ever seen. So, I guess it came as no real surprise to anyone that in 1990 when they made today's movie, Total Recall, Hollywood called on the one actor in Hollywood who was cerebral enough to deal with a story about the fickle nature of reality, Arnold Schwarzenegger...oooohhhhh boy, this just got real awkward, didn't it? Well no matter, because we still have violence, explosions, catch phrases and boobs, boobs, boobs, so make the jump and see what the inside of Arnold's mind looks like.

Hey gasmi, you know it's often said that the sign of great cinema is that it makes you think. It forces you to examine the world in a way you hadn't before, and if you ask me maybe great cinema needs to get all out of my grill and keep its irrational need for "thinking" to itself. I don't really like to think on my day off, hell I'm not fond of doing it at work when I'm getting paid. No, on a lazy Saturday, I need a movie who accepts me for who I am, and you know what? Crap movies do just that, and today's movie, the 2001 release, The Fast and The Furious, is like your mom making you a nice big pot of chicken soup after you boned an algebra midterm in high school. It's nothing but love baby. Just see for yourself after the jump.

In my opinion Sylvester Stallone has made a few good movies over the years. However, the movie we are going to talk about today, Rambo: First Blood Part II ain't one of them. This movie is what happened when Hollywood looked at history of the Vietnam War and thought to itself, "man that ending needs a re-write." That being said, it's a great way to kill 96 minutes, just make the jump and see for yourself.

It's this waffle boy's humble opinion that smart is way, WAY overrated. Mortgaged backed securities, land wars in Asia, and the Hindenburg were all the products of some of the smartest people walking the face of the Earth having what at the time what were thought to be brilliant ideas, and what did we get for all of this concentrated smartness? Okay with the Hindenburg we got a flaming zeppelin, and the basis of the best Thanksgiving episode ever on TV (the Turkey giveaway on WKRP), so that doesn't really help my argument. You know what? Forget about the Hindenburg, that's a bad example, but generally speaking really smart ideas are the ones that have the highest potential for disaster. So that's why I say, give me a dumb idea every time.
Well it's another week and time for another crap movie. Now while at first glance you might think a crap movie has to be a bad movie, this just really isn't the case. Crap movies, at least in my book, aren't crap movies because they are bad. They're crap movies because through some wonderful magic, their inherent dumbness suddenly becomes comedy of the highest order (oh and there are explosions, beheadings, and the occasional gratuitous boob shot, those help too). So even though you might think you need bad acting, shitty directing, and a shooting script written in crayon to make a crap movie, think again. Take today's movie, the winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2000, Gladiator.

Hi guys, good to be back, and thanks to everyone at Moviegasm for allowing me to spend time talking about the kind of quality crap movies I always end up watching on the weekend instead of cleaning my apartment.
I know it sounds strange now, but before the Oscar nomination, before he was the proud owner of the largest collection of fat suits in North America (narrowly edging out Tyra Banks), even before he began running his late night shuttle service for transvestite hookers, Eddie Murphy was cool. What can I say? It didn't take much to entertain people in the 1980's (Hence the Joe Piscepo craze). So come back with me to a simpler time, when all you needed for 96 minutes of quality crap entertainment was a guy whose catch phrase was "I'm Buckwheat," several loony tuned eyed bad guys, a guy who you can literally smell the scotch working its way through his pores, and a truck load of racial epitaphs. Yep, today our movie is the 1982 release, 48 Hrs.
***Please welcome our newest Moviegasm contributor, WaffleBoy!
One of my friends recently sent me a disturbing photo, because well that's what the internet was invented for. It was a photo of the highest elected official in my state on vacation in a little black bathing suit that brought on a 14 minute bout of hysterical blindness.
Let's take out some more Trailer Trash after the jump!

All right Watchmen fans. First off, relax!! I know absolutely nothing about Watchmen. Nothing. The only reason I even know it was based on a graphic novel is from the trailer. I even have to keep looking up to see if it’s Watchmen or Watchman; and I still always write "The" in front of it by accident. Therefore, I can absolutely guarantee that this review will only contain TRAILER SPOILERS. If anything is revealed about the movie itself it is a fluke and a coincidence and you may not bitch about it in the comments area. I knew not being a comic book nerd is high school would someday help me out. Finally!
