That cheery grin, that Benny Hill-esque pink-cheeked look, except without Benny's built-in bad-cherub innuendo. Genius.

Wild, speculative theories about the origins of Pastor Swank, some shading into the realm of the supernatural, some merely escalating to a high, mad, keening laughter that continues to haunt these halls long after its source had been dragged away in fetters and confined to a sanitarium. <br /><br />Some believe the Pastor isn't human, but simply the result of human folly -- an artificial intelligence that went rogue and dedicated itself to making a mockery of its creators' illogical superstitions by posing as a clergyman (as veteran students of Swank will remember, his "church" was actually a corner of his living room). I believe this is close to the truth, but based on the "Pastor's" bizarre use of English -- his compulsive contrivance of neologisms that nobody wants or needs and syntax that more closely resembles machine code than colloquial speech -- I believe he's one of those Random Porn Name Generators that achieved sentience and escaped its webpage.<br /><br />And it's been awhile (I watched SATAN'S CHEERLEADERS back in 2005 or 2006 for Better Living Through Bad Movies), but it must be easily available, because given how unenthusiastic I was about the assignment, I can't believe I'd have actually gone to any <i>trouble</i> to see it.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02798340582589737829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-23929010746595290612013-09-08T11:53:19.321-07:002013-09-08T11:53:19.321-07:00Satan's Cheerleaders?!?

It's been almost thirty years since I caught that hilariously awful mashup of softcore cheerleader romp with Satanic conspiracy flick, on late night tv. (Greydon Clark films: where Hollywood actors past their sell-by date go to see their careers die.)<br /><br />And now I'm gonna have to see if it's available for streaming.<br /><br />I'll defer to those of you who're familiar with his history, but are you absolutely sure Pastor Swank isn't the creation of some devilishly clever performance artist? And if we're going to be cloning Europeans, I call "Dibs!" on Mila Jovovich. (Yeah, some people might quibble over the fact she was born in the Ukraine, but in her case, I'd willingly stretch the definition of "European" ...)grouchomarxistnoreply@blogger.com
