Welcome, dear readers! Grab some popcorn and a drink, pull up a seat, and get comfortable while we start the festivities. As hard as it may be to believe, it's been a full decade since our noble patrons Justin and Kym set out on this crazy experiment called "Mutant Reviewers From Hell." In that time we've seen movie stars marry and divorce, box office records broken and broken again, and the rise and meteoric fall of the Matrix franchise. But perhaps most important of all, during that time we've witnessed the growing acceptance of the indie film in modern society.
Now, let's not kid ourselves - cult films are by definition, and will always be, movies that appeal to a small segment of the population. No matter how much you or I might wish otherwise, more people will always see Armageddon than Empire Records. But it does seem like more and more theaters are becoming open to the idea that we'd like to see a few off-the-beaten-path films once in a while, and the recent surge of superhero movies and increased mainstream acceptance of popular "nerd" icons (Joss Whedon being a prime example) gives hope that, at the very least, more people are becoming attuned to the idea that movies can be something other than mindless action blockbusters, by-the-book romantic comedies, or pretentious arthouse flicks and still be worth watching. And if anyone has come to appreciate that sentiment just a bit more from reading this site, then we at MRFH have done our jobs.
So without further ado, let's get on with the show. We've got maybe our best selection of categories ever this year, presented by our usual cast of lunatics and ne'er-do-wells. Plus we've got not one but two Lifetime Achievement recipients, and to celebrate the ten years (God, has it been that long?) that this awards ceremony has been in existence, a reexamination of the greatest cult film of all time. So buckle your seatbelts, gang, and hold on to something, because this will be one to remember.
