"The Big Bus" and "Plan 9 from Outer Space" have been added to the
list of all-time totally bad movies. These will stay on the list unless
someone can mention something about them (direction, cinematography,
wit, humour, plot, etc.) that is above mediocre in some way.

"Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" was dropped from the list after
John Templer pointed out the satirical ending. He characterised this
as a "perfect satire of the late 60's Hollywood movie producers' idea
of a movie to cash in on the flower generation." Even if the satire 
were less than perfect, if it is the least bit better than mediocre,
that disqualifies the movie as a totally bad movie.

The list now stands at:

Sheena of the Jungle
Silent Night, Deadly Night
Sword and the Sorcerer
The Big Bus
Plan 9 from Outer Space

Any additions or suggestions for disqualification are welcome.
If any of the reviewers out there have seen some of these films, and
can find something good to say about some aspect of any of these,
I will drop said movies from the list.
