Some Movies Are So Bad, They're Great

We hate them when they’re boring, we love them when they’re hilarious.

I can’t be the only person with a favorite bad movie?

As someone who is studying film, I watch a lot of movies. Netflix being the main way I watch movies, many of them are very bad. Bad, but in a good way.

The most common thing that makes a movie bad is that it’s not giving you the emotion you're supposed to have. A horror movie is making you laugh instead of feeling scared, “Jennifer’s Body” is a great example of this. If you haven’t seen it: Megan Fox is a succubus. Need I say more? Doesn’t that sound hilarious?

Even as a film major, I love awful movies. I think we all love awful movies to some extent.

We hate them when they’re boring, we love them when they’re hilarious.Tommy Wiseau is a rich man because of “The Room,” the worst movie of all time. “The Room” is two hours long but millions of people sit through it, some even still pay to see this movie, because it’s just that awful. It’s so awful, everyone loves it. The (very sexy, but that’s not important) Franco brothers and Seth Rogen even made money off this hilarious tragedy.

Not to throw shade on romcoms, but romcoms are made every year and they all have the same plot. A free-spirited girl and a businessman who wants a promotion, they meet, fall in love, have a big fight, break up, then get back together and live happily ever after. We all know how the story goes, but we’re still going to see the romantic comedy coming out this summer because we all know “How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days” is fantastic.

We should all be open to having a laugh at a bad movie, because most of us have Netflix subscriptions and their movie selection kinda sucks. They have “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” under critically-acclaimed movies.

You: Hope, haven’t you seen that movie like 8 times?
Me: Yeah, but that isn’t the point. Mila Kunis can make everything great, that’s why Bad Moms had a sequel

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
