Worst Movie EVER...and I saw St. Peppers
 
Do NOT blow your hard-earned money on Sophie Coppola's Marie Antoinette--it was, by far, the suckiest movie I have ever, ever seen--and I've seen some pretty sucky ones.

Movies that were better than Marie A.:

St. Peppers-Yes, the one with the Bee Gees.

Any movie Tom Green has been in--Freddy Got Fingered comes to mind.

Blair Witch Project and BWP II

Xanadu

Gigli

All were better than this indulgent piece of cream cake. Coppola spends actual movie minutes (a long, long time) recording KiKi Dunsts' ennui--which is pretty ennui-inducing in itself--and spends approximately 119 minutes of the movies 120 minutes letting us know how pampered these people were and how much fun they had via scenes of gambling, toasting, eating, dressing, partying, gossiping, eating some more, partying some more, etc. etc.--most movie-goers would get this idea in about three minutes...AND she ends the movie as MA, kids and King are fleeing Versailles with a fast, Mtv-ish blackout. No beheadings, no come-uppance!

Tres awful!

Luckily, I wasn't planning on spending any of my precious movie-going time on this massive costume drama.

If I pay $8 for a movie and $10 for popcorn and soda, somebody's head better explode on screen.

Agreed.

Do you think I watch too many movies with my teenagers? :D

I could have told you that. Here's my rule of thumb, not that you asked:
Avoid any movie made by the child of a wealthy and famous filmmaker.

I'm told by a reliable source that all of Coppola's wines are quite good. But I bet if his kids take over the vinyard, the wines will start to suck.

Mm. That is why you are $6.75 richer than I am right now. Plus, like, $12.00 for a medium pop. I coulda bought three cases for that.

Unless the filmmaker in question happens to be called Dario Argento, and the child in question is his daughter, Asia.

Space is the Place, by free-jazz innovator Sun Ra: worst movie I've ever seen.

I just wasted 87 minutes of my life on "Ultraviolet" last night. Egad. Poor. Very, very poor.

If my first question is WHO? then he can't be all that famous. I shall google him.

OK he seems well connected, but he also seems less a commercial success than an artistic success. But I don't know.

I have no plans on seeing this film. But I hve a hard time thinking ANY film could be worse than Cronenberg's movie "Crash". It made me sick to my stomache and I left after the 1st hour.

Give me a break. I guess Hollywood, grabbing onto the success of films inspired by classic comic book characters, thought "hey, maybe we can take this really shitty comic-type idea, slap a veneer of CGI on it, and people will eat it up!" . . .

Crash, the new one that won the award?

Bull-fuckin'-shit, man.

I actually liked The Virgin Suicides.

I have no particular interest in seeing people's heads explode, but if Kirsten Dunst were getting naked, I suppose I'd have to at least rent the DVD.

Or nudity. Then again, nobody's head exploded in A Clockwork Orange.

No, I never saw that one. The Cronenberg movie came out about 10 years ago, I think.
