In which Bloodrayne sucks. No, REALLY sucks. Would Howard Tayler lie to you?

Seen quoted in Howard Tayler's Blógünder Schlock:

…I’ve been reading Schlock for 6 or 7 years now and I’ve often followed your advice about sci-fi authors, web comics, and movies.  But once I didn’t.  You wrote a review for the movie “Bloodrayne.”  Scathing doesn’t even begin to describe it.  I decided to buy it (not rent, but buy), watch it, and try to find something redeeming about it.  I couldn’t.  My friends and I even invented a drinking game we thought would make it help.  We called it “Drink Until Bloodrayne Doesn’t Suck.”  We lost.  It was still horrible.

Some people just won't listen to warnings.  :)

Several of us caught this horrid film when Syfylis reran it recently. We all agreed that the younger vampire hunter was decorative ("Rayne" - while played by an attractive young lady - was sort of lost on a group of gay men :) ) , and that the king vampire was very good at scenery-chewing. One attendee with a bit of a fixation was delighted by Meat Loaf's appearance. We need to get him some professional help.

We managed to make it watchable by turning down the sound, putting a loop of "Yakkity Sax" (aka "The Benny Hill Theme") on low volume, and ad-libbing snarky (but probably better than those in the script!) lines.

Amazingly enough, the strongest substance any of us had ingested was sweet tea.

Normally, I despise the "MST3K treatment", but this thing deserved it.
