"What's the site called?"
"The Bad Movie Mecca."
"Oh, that's brave."
Well, no it isn't. Calling my blog the Bad Movie Mecca was a callback to a student joke, and increasingly I've been aware that it was potentially offensive without making any actual point, and I figure if you don't have a point to make, it's not worth being offensive. If you mock those with faith just because you don't have any, you just turn into Richard Dawkins.
So, welcome to the Bad Movie Marathon!
