caddymanIt's quite remarkable. Quite, quite remarkable.
I'd never watched the movie, never having liked the "author" of the book it was based upon, or the cult he spawned. I was also aware of the movie's reputation, so this too helped decide me against watching the movie these many years.
But tonight, on ITV, it was broadcast, and having nothing better to do, I decided to watch it in the hope that it might be so bad that it had actually clocked, à la Plan 9 From Outer Space, or indeed anything by Ed Wood, and become a kitsch Sci-Fi classic.
How wrong I was. It is just horrible...
The trouble with free commercial channels is that there is nothing to demand back from them in righteous indignation. An hour was enough; I wasted my money, though it was free.
