The End of Camp and the Love of the Bad: 'Troll 2'

Last week we talked about celebrating the sacrifice of money and sweat in the process of creating something horrible-sort of the end of camp, in this age when everything pleasurable is good, even if it is very bad? (Maybe the actual death of irony, ten years late???) Now comes the official celebration party for Troll 2, pretty much officially the worst movie ever made. Writes Wired: “And unlike the winking reverie that greeted Snakes on a Plane, the affection for Troll 2 wasn’t the result of studio marketing; it was born of the Internet’s sincere (or at least ironically sincere) appetite for undiscovered crap — and the desire to share it.”
