Bad Films

i enjoyed 'Burn After Reading' right up until the end, at which point i let out an almighty "WHAT THE FUCK???"

no no no its a cracker! that last dance scene is just great!

That's the problem isn't it? One brilliant scene but sort of a dull film.
If you want racism 'Notting Hill' is hard to beat: west London as it might look after ten years of a BNP government.

Heh. +1 x 2

Not a film but the series Damages with Glenn Close. Very very silly. The plot is so thick you could build houses with it.

Myers and Segal should never be in any more films

I was enjoying this series but when the first season ended I wasn't sure if i would bother with the next.

I watched Lakeview terrace last night, I knew it was going to be shit but I was being nice to my flatmate by watching it.

"Before The Devil Knows You're Dead"

Seymour Hoffman ?
Lumet helming ?

Oh dear god NO !!
truly dreadful...

Garden State, Juno, pretty much any Kevin Smith movie (except Clerks, I think), Gigli, The Legend of 1900, Blood Diamond, American Beauty, Napoleon Dynamite, Titanic, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull....

I could do this for hours.

Waynes World(s)
Bill & Teds....

Wank!

You actually sat through Gigli ?
...and hearing that it's a shite film and watching it for curiosity's sake is no excuse.

i watched from dusk 'til dawn the other night. it's either total wankenschaft or genius, can't decide which. i loved it anyway. mmmmm salma hayek.

Yeah... I guess I've got no excuse! I watched it in the hope that it would be 'so bad it's good' or whatever. Maybe have a laugh. No such luck. It was just bad. And it felt at least twice as long as it was.

Superman Returns, the superman movie that came out a couple of years ago. Total Wank.

Had a quote in it at the end when superman was doing some speech to his son..

"You will see the world through yours eyes"... I was honestly expecting him to say his ears.

Matrix 2 & 3... it was as if they went back in time to fuck up first movie (which was pretty good). They were awful to the extent that they managed to make action sequences with exploding trucks, guns, kung-fu and women in leather riding exploding motorcycles look almost mundane.

the first matrix film completely blew me away at the time, but the other two were utterly unwatchable, which retroactively detracted from the original. travesty.

All the Roland Emmerich productions, the Rob Zobbie halloween remake,etc ...
Still better to watch a good Troma.

The first matrix was amazing...we saw matrix and then Blade (we were about 16-17) and then fight club .. we went to the petrol station to pick up some snacks and some booze for a house parties with some girls we know and my mate turns round and says to me "I just wanna start a fight now, but that would be madness".

I thought the first Austin Powers movie was funny, but the other ones were basically unwatchable. Same jokes over and over... and explained so the audience would know to laugh. Mike Myers is an idiot. 'So I Married an Axe Murderer' was a decent movie (at the time).

I guess he's like Adam Sandler in that respect. 'Billy Madison' was funny (again, at the time), but then he basically made the same movie over and over. And with very badly diminishing returns.

Comon man, Happy Gilmore is awesome.

I thought Happy Gilmore was a bit of a letdown after Billy Madison. But it was way better than The Waterboy. Of course, he then started doing more 'mature' movies, like Big Daddy.

I have a few friends who swear by Little Nicky, but I have to admit I've never seen it.

Anything with Colin Farrell

For me, these 2 films were never made. I have never watched them and I never will. The first film was so good, what I heard about the 2 sequels convinced me to deny their existsence

'The Jackal', for Richard Gere's accent. Oh, also the small matter of the protagonist being an honourable IRA 'soldier', something to be admired in the USA pre 9/11 and the Columbia/FARC incident. And for it being shit.

I dunno, I prefer Happy Gilmore.

I think I walked out of a film once (I'm pretty sure I've done it exactly once), but I can't remember what it was. It takes a lot to make me walk out of a movie.

I fell asleep in The Naked Gun 2. I think I must have been about 15.

Sooo many piss-poor films it's not worth remembering them at all. I really just remember the ones that were uninentionally hilarious, like Lorenzo's Oil. I apologise in advance to anyone who thought it was truly touching (it was meant to be and it is meant to be about a serious subject), but my mate and I thought it was the most emotionally insincere and ridiculous splat of turgid shite we'd ever seen (up to that point ...). We recently saw another one that was similarly awful but I've already forgotten what it was. Advancing age.

I was profoundly traumatised when I saw The Fellowship of the Rings in the Peter Jackson version. (This was not because I hate Tolkien's work but because I love it.)
