+I watched what might be the most failed movie of all time and I still
+enjoyed greatly the show.
+#+end_notes
+
+I recently wanted to watch again an horror teen movie I watched when I was
+a young boy: Troll.
+But I discovered there were a movie called Troll 2.
+I guessed that it must be the following one.
+
+Oh god, I saw the imdb note was, really, really bad.
+But who cares, I watched it.
+
+And here is a resume of my experience:
+
+* The watching
+:PROPERTIES:
+:CUSTOM_ID: the-watching
+:END:
+
+Troll 2 synopsis is a family that goes camping to Nilbog.
+The son of the family see his dead grandfather that warn him against
+Goblins that make you eat things that transform you and then they eat you.
+Of course nobody listen to the warn of the boy, the family goes to Nilbog
+which is of course infested by Goblins.
+
+Troll 2 is bad on most criterion you use to measure the quality of a movie.
+
+During the first minutes of the movie, you get to see the costume of the
+goblins.
+Those costume looks very bad and cheap.
+So much you can only find them not terrorizing but funny and ridiculous.
+
+#+CAPTION: One goblin during the introduction scene of Troll 2
+#+NAME: fig:troll-2-intro
+#+ATTR_HTML: A goblin
+[[./troll-2/Troll-2-intro.jpg]]
+
+Soon after that, you realize the acting of all actors is extremely bad.
+In fact, it is so bad, you might not believe me how bad it is.
+To give you an idea, the only equal bad acting I ever witnessed was while
+looking at amateurs first Youtube movie trying to follow a scenario.
+Apparently all actor were amateurs, it was their first and last movie.
+
+#+CAPTION: One particularly terrible acting scene
+#+NAME: fig:bad-acting
+#+ATTR_HTML: A bad acting demonstration
+[[file:troll-2/bad-acting.png]]
+
+The dialog are, really something...
+For example the expression "clusters of hemorrhoid" is used in a non ironic
+dialog.
+
+The scenario is terrible.
+For example, most of the thing occurring suffer from terrible plot holes or
+terrible mistakes that make everything hard to believe even if you accept
+the premises of a world were Goblin would exists.
+For example, the grandfather ghost can stop time for 30 seconds for no
+reason at all.
+
+The realization is a series of basic mistakes.
+Actors are not in the same places after all plan cut for example.
+Some filmed scene feel so wrong.
+
+I forgot to give a word about the music.
+It is like the director choose the worst music to go along each scene.
+
+The first ending is really, quite surprising.
+They beat the monsters with, what I believe was a failed attempt at humor.
+It misses the point so bad, that the irony still make it funny.
+
+#+CAPTION: Our hero save the day by urinating on the table. His family is frozen for 30s said grandpa, they were for 70s.
+#+NAME: fig:prevent-eating
+#+ATTR_HTML: Eliott prevents his family to eat the food by urinating on the table
+[[./troll-2/prevent-eating-scene.jpg]]
+
+Of course, the very last scene is a classical so terrible cliché.
+To let you close the experience in awe.
+
+But there is a bonus, the cherry on the cake.
+During all the movie, it is *never* question of a Troll at all.
+The monsters are all Goblin, not Troll.
+I think the word "troll" is not pronounced once in the movie.
+
+Still, it was quite entertaining.

+* After the movie

+:END:
+
+What is really interesting though is that I really enjoyed the watch.
+It was so bad, that in the end, you do not really enter in the movie, but
+really just analyze the movie, and you start to see how much the movie is bad.
+And this is so fun.
+For example, there are some attempts at humor, but almost all of them fail terribly.
+And so, you can laugh at how much it failed.
+
+Once going to imdb, I discovered I wasn't alone in loving that terrible
+movie.
+Now, I don't know if I should give that movie a 1 or 2 stars or 8 to 9
+stars because it was so entertaining.
+
+But I learned a few nice anecdotes about that movie.
+
+It was realized in America by Claudio Fragasso who didn't speak fluent
+English.
+He and his wife were apparently irritated by many of her friends turning
+vegetarian.
+He brought the film crew over with him from Italy.
+None of them spoke English either.

+“The cast had few experienced actors, and was primarily assembled from
+residents of nearby towns who responded to an open casting call. George
+Hardy was a dentist with no acting experience who showed up for fun, hoping
+to be cast as an extra, only to be given one of the film’s largest speaking
+roles. Don Packard, who played the store owner, was actually a resident at
+a nearby mental hospital, and was cast for—and filmed—his role while on a
+day trip; after recovering and being released from the hospital, he
+recalled that he had no idea what was happening around him, and that his
+disturbed “performance” in the film was not acting”
