Greetings Folks,
Time again to prove we have as real a life as the empaths or rangers! What's the worst movie you have seen in the past 2 months. Honestly I have to say hands down for me it was Napoleon Dynamite. I got it for Christmas...and insisted that everyone in the house had to watch it after I did after telling me how great it was. I never thought I would be rooting for the nerd to get hurt....remember before you jump all over me...this is all opinion!!

Hmm...this is going to look 'odd' but please bear in mind that I no longer go and watch a movie every weekend like I did a few years back. With 2 very young kids, I won't subject the other movie goers to crying, etc. So for the past 3 years, I've only went to the movies about 6 times.
I'm also pretty picky now about what I watch. Unless the movie really looks good, I just won't watch it. Regardless, when friends come over and we rent movies, we rotate on the person that gets to choose the movie. I was subjected to "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" (about 9 months back?). I can do some suspension of disbelief but just about every scene in it was trying to capitalize on other movie's special effects or just had really bad directing/acting/etc. I felt I had lost intelligence when it was over.
The worst movie I ever went to? Problem Child. We had seen every other movie out at the time (it was a slow season) and we tried it. We walked out after about 3 minutes due to the acting. First movie I ever walked out of and it set new standards of choosing movies forever after.
Best Regards,

City Heat. Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood. Should have ruled. Worst thing I've ever seen in my life.

Violence does not lead to more violence. The truth is that ineffective, unfocused violence leads to more death. However fully thought through, well executed violence never leads to more violence because afterwards, the other guys are all dead.

Worst Movie...
I'm going to to the other way. Not at the Movies......we are so far behind you guys it's just not funny. You'll be bagging movies we just don't have yet.
We just had Category 6: Day of Destruction.......The first thing hubby said was......That's Chicago...There goes DR again. I had to think that was funny.
Atomic Twister was also a good show.
The mush of a mind behind Kobmand.
I'm juggling, trading and also trading in juggling.

Hmm. The only movie I've seen in the past two months is The Phantom of the Opera, which I enjoyed. I didn't think it was as breathtaking as the stage production, and the actor playing the Phantom didn't have the vocal talent I'm used to hearing in that role, but Emmy Rossum impressed me as Christine. On the whole, I was very entertained, and the little (and big) changes to script and plot helped to separate it from the stage production.
My 12-year-old daughter's respons: Eh, it was OK.
I don't even remember the name of the worst movie I've ever seen, but I walked out after about five minutes (twenty years ago). The only recent disappointment I can think of was The Haunted Mansion. Loved the ride, but at the end of the movie, I didn't care if the Eddy Murphy's wife lived or died. To me, that's a sign of a bad movie.

I've only walked out on one move ... Thelma and Louise. But then I rarely go out to movies, since I've never really had the money. Truly, spectacularly bad movies can be just as much fun as good ones at home, since there you can laugh in all the wrong spots, play guess the next line and otherwise groan at the sheer stupidity of the whole thing.

When hearing about movies that are so bad they're good Troma comes to mind. If anyone hasn't heard of that movie studio they make the worst movies that you can think of. However, their movies are also great to watch because they're so bad. If you've seen The Toxic Avenger you know what a Troma movie is, or at least the better ones.
