how in the world is Kill Bill up there with these films: Barb Wire Howard The Duck Glitter and Gigle? you really think its one of the worst ever? I know it all boils down to personal choice and taste, but I definitely hear what you're sayin' Even if you didn't fancy "Kill Bill", surely you can't rank it as one of the worst movies made!? Each to their own I suppose. Kill Bill Vol. 1 is my all time fav(well, it's tied with Vertigo), but Vol. 2 was the most painful movie I've ever had to sit thru. After such expectation, the release dates kept getting postponed, I waited and waited hoping it would be the bomb like the first, and it turned out to be as stupid as Extreme Ops or Cursed(not the same class of movie, but you get the idea). Shrek was intended to be a kids movie, but most of the people watching it theaters and renting it are adults. Don't hurt me, I'm a newb. I'm supposed to be stupid. | |

They shat on Santa Claus Conquers the Martians ("When Martians children only watch Santa Claus' TV-show, their parents decide to abduct Santa" - I OWN THIS SHIT!) and Last House on the Left (OMG CULT STATUS MUCH?!) but this made me laugh: Freddy Got Fingered (2001) Of this Tom Green comedy vehicle, which he gave zero out of four stars, Roger Ebert wrote: "This movie doesn't scrape the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't below the bottom of the barrel. This movie doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with barrels... The day may come when Freddy Got Fingered is seen as a milestone of neo-surrealism. The day may never come when it is seen as funny." [3] (http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20010420/REVIEWS/104200304/1023) Tom Green was awarded five Razzies, including Worst Picture, for this film; he accepted the awards in person, and used his acceptance speech to pour scorn on the audience.

shykitty said: minneapolisgenius said: Oh God I was horrified. Just such BAD acting all around. But then, "Showgirls" is one of my favorite movies. There's something about it, that I can watch it a million times. It's just so cheesy. I've never seen show girls and i find bad acting very endearing in films Oh you HAVE to see "Showgirls". It's so funny because it's meant to be taken seriously, like as a serious drama or something. I know all the choreography from that one as well, which is equally as bad.

Shrek is subversive brilliance, and Kill Bill Vol. 2 fucking rocked! Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended, for the taking of offense is what rests in the bosom of the stupid ones.

The worst movies have to be any thriller/horror movies, where a woman comes into her bathroom, at night, alone at home, camera behind her head, you can see her face in the closet mirror, she opens it, music rises, she closes the closet door and there's an EvilWhiteMale behind her or (if the movie makers are really creative), surprise, surprise, there's no one.
Horror movies with women going into bathrooms are the worst movies ever. Besides that, Orange County was baaaaad. [Edited 5/18/05 6:28am] | |
