I straight up stole this from my school newspaper, but it is valuable information.

Here's the website if you wanna read the whole thing

THE BOTTOM SHELF:
‘Troll 2’ officially worst movie ever

October 29, 2009 by Richard Pierce

With Halloween just a few days away, it’s time to discuss the worst horror movie… Ever.

“Troll 2.”

To most, the phrase “Troll 2” may bring about a feeling of unfamiliarity, raising many questions…
What is “Troll 2?” For that matter, what is “Troll 1”? What does “Troll 2” have to do with me? Why is this guy writing about “Troll 2?” Should I be afraid of it?



....my top 5 favorite lines of “Troll 2”:

5. (After being punched in the groin) “Are you nuts? You tryin’ to turn me into a homo?”
4. “Elliot’s not my beau! He’s my boyfriend.”
3. “You can’t piss on hospitality, I WON’T ALLOW IT!”
2. “If my father discovers you here, he’d cut off your little nuts and eat them. He can’t stand you!”
1. “They’re eating her… and then they’re going to eat me… Oh my GAAAWWD!”

“Troll 2” is undeniably the absolute worst movie I have ever seen and that’s why I can’t recommend it enough. And since it’s available to watch for free on IMDB.com and Hulu.com, there’s no reason why you can’t celebrate Halloween by watching the most hilariously awful movie ever.
You can thank me later.



I would now like to open the forum up for discussion of "Troll 2" and how we can draw inferences for the construction of the troll race in the game world of warcraft.

To borrow from Edward Said, trolls represent the cultural construction of hypertext cybercolonialism as interpellated by the semiological corporation Blizzard. Blizzard exploits the orientalization of non-Western cultures to create fictional "races" at once both alien and familiar, hailing the reader as a complete ideological unit aligned with the Western tradition while emphasizing the 'otherness' of Azeroth's denizens. Trolls are a pastiche of Afro-Cuban stereotypes and motifs, melding the Jamaican Rasta image with the animist Loa worship of traditional Haiti and the classic "witch doctor" and cannibal archetypes of late 19th century contact literature.

I wasn't aware Trolls were Chilean in origin. Why do you fake a bad bermudan/jamaican accent if this is the case? I'm basing the origin on your avatar pic, of course.

My mom grew up in Chile. Maybe I'm part troll!
