Hollywood Boulevard

MOVIE #1,875 • 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 • 08.12.24 Made on a bet for around 50K, this has become something of a cult classic in certain circles. Its repurposing of existing B-movie properties (all New World Pictures/Roger Corman productions) makes it an interesting continuation of the reappropriation in The Movie Orgy, as well. I think it’s much more of an interesting idea/premise than it is an entertaining film, however. Not sure why I couldn’t get on its wavelength because most of its elements by themselves are things I really like.
