Avalanche - "Six million tons of icy terror!"
The vacationers at a winter wonderland struggle to survive after an avalanche of snow crashes into their ski resort. Their holiday then turns into a game of survival. Starring Rock Hudson and Mia Farrow.

Though neck and neck with Battlefield Earth, Avalanche has a very good chance at being the worst movie of all time. The special effects are awful. The acting is awful. But, in the end, that's what makes it quite delicious. While I'm a big fan of the good/bad movie, Avalanche teeters on the brink of bad/bad. What's your favourite good/bad or bad/bad movie?

Could this be the beginning of a seventies disaster quest? Airport, Earthquake, The Towering Inferno, Rollercoaster, etc., etc. Stay tuned.

I try to explain what tickles my fancy about some of my favourite self-portraits over at freshfroot today. Check out the archives. It's all fabulous. Many thanks to Sunny and the gang.
