What we’re about

Cinema Terriblé [noun] (si-nā-ˈmä-te-rē-ˈblā, or "however the Hell you want to pronounce it"): A play on the term cinema verité. A style of film-making in which the result is unintentionally, hilariously, and often just awesomely, bad.

We are:

- Fans of "so-bad-it's-good" movies. Cult classics, exploitation films, B-movies, Z-movies, midnight movies... In a nutshell, if there's a movie that is so awful that it makes people laugh and applaud, we love it, and we want to see it.

- Fans of MSTing (movie-mocking in the style of MST3K; also known as "riffing"). We love Mystery Science Theater 3000, RiffTrax, Cinematic Titanic, Master Pancake Theater, and everything in that vein.

- Fans of Austin weirdness. We love the Alamo Drafthouse theaters (which have awesome events such as Terror Tuesdays, Weird Wednesdays, Video Vortex, Hecklevision, and Fantastic Fest) and the Austin Film Society (AFS). We also love local video stores -- I Luv Video and Vulcan Video -- which carry most of the movies we want to watch.

- Fans of neo-VHS culture, and VHS found footage. We love stuff like Adjust Your Tracking, Bleeding Skull! and Everything is Terrible.

- Fans of laughing, meeting cool new people with similar interests, socializing with friends, and just having a fun time!

If you're one or more of these, become a member and RSVP to an event.

We hope to see you soon!

Hello Terribléans,

Note* Sorry aboutt the technical difficulties. It wouldn’t be bad movies if something doesn’t break in the process:)

Anyway, see the new Friday date. And we will watch some terrible sci fi thanks to our ecclipse fever in april!

Sending the movie contenders soon…

april easter double feature contenders*

coming soon

HOW THIS WORKS:
On the night of the meetup, we'll congregate at Mister Tramps around 6:30 to give us time to order dinner before the festivities start. Then at 7, we’ll read summaries of, and show the trailers for, the magnificently awful movies listed above.

Then we follow a 3-step process:

First voting round - you get 2 votes to select the 2 movies you'd most like to see
Top voted film goes first, second goes second ties go to re-vote etc.
Horrible, Terriblé fun! (and of course 2 movies)

Quick note about Mister Tramps: This place is effing AWESOME. They've got an incredible AV setup with 3 screens and a big room. They also have good food and fantastic service. AND, they don't charge us a fee for using the room! So let's thank them by ordering stuff off the menu and tipping those fantastic servers. (And yes, they do separate checks so y'all don't have to do long division or weighted averages to settle the bill.)

Thanks and we are looking forward to seeing you all!
