Dinosaurus!

Like the plague, no one's really in serious danger of accidentally seeing this one these days. But, just like the plague, it is best avoided.

It's not because it was a movie made in the 60s, which produced monster special effects that look lower than lo-fi and entirely laughable these days. It's because it was just so bad on all fronts... acting, script, plot... okay, the wide scenery and establishing shots were nice but that's about it.

Ahhh....different Crash.

I was thinking of the Spader one.

Mixed Nuts, with Steve Martin.

Saw it in the theater. It's the only movie I ever walked out of because it was so bad. I walked out of another movie too, but they were having projector problems.

Seriously. It's terrible. And I LIKE Steve Martin.

Yeah, isn't that weird? So you DO need to see the other one. I think you'd like it.

I won't be here tomorrow and will be leaving here soon so if someone wants to add the new entries it's okey-dokey with me.

Staff retreat, actually. But it's going to be a blast.

I haven't. I could be wrong but it doesn't sound all that good to me either.

sidenote: anyone remember Elaine on Seinfeld hating, I mean HATING the English Patient? Too funny!

[Elaine and Peterman are watching "The English Patient". Elaine is about to freak out of boredom]
Elaine Benes: [quietly] No. I can't do this any more. I can't. It's too long.
Elaine Benes: [yells] Quit telling your stupid story about the stupid desert, and just die already! DIE!
J. Peterman: [surprised] Elaine, you don't like the movie?
Elaine Benes: [shouts] I hate it!
[the audience shushes Elaine]
Elaine Benes: [shouts back] Oh, go to hell!

I've not seen it, but it's going on the list!

1) Battleship
2) Titanic
3) Meet the Fockers
4) Eat Pray Love
5) Mixed Nuts

I thought Boxing Helena was okay.
It's a verbal film predominently and explores the psychology of relationships and control.

Blueflare 05-18-2012 12:54 PM

Epic Movie.

Absolutely the worst film I have ever seen in my life.
And it's not even one of those films that you can laugh at for being bad. It's just too bad even for that.
It was like three years ago I saw it and I am still filled with rage whenever I think of it.

Any sequel numbered three or higher. Twos are often bad, bot not every time.

Fantasia 2000. Just watch the original, twice. And maybe the bit with the flamingos with a yo-yo.

Honourable mention: Battlefield Earth. So appallingly, cringingly, cornily terrible, it transcends mere badness and becomes awesome.
