What happens when two movie nerds get together at Bristol’s leading cultural arts centre, cinema and cafe over coffee and a beer? We talk movies what else and that’s what happened when I met up with Timon Singh at the Watershed for a chat.
Born and bred in the city of Bristol, Timon is the co-founder of The Bristol Bad Film Club, a monthly screening event featuring some of the most beloved bad films ever to grace the cinema screen. Titles have included, “Plan 9 From Outer Space”, “Black Samurai” with “Enter the Dragon” star Jim Kelly and of course Tommy Wiseau’s seminal bad film “The Room”.The Bristol Bad Film Club has become a hallmark of what is quintessentially Bristol; it has also sparked a movement seeing other bad film screening events happening around the country. This is synonymous with a resurgent interest in bad films sparked by The Asylum’s “Sharknado” series and I would guess a surge of nostalgia films such as “Electric Boogalo;The Wild Untold Story of Cannon Films”, and more recently Rob Hill’s “The Bad Movie Bible.”
