Last Friday night I saw "Made" which must be the worst...hang on...WORST...hang on...WORST!!!!! film ever made. OH MY GOD!!!!
Even the gag reel was boring. I heard a lot about Swingers (same guys) but never saw it. When I saw this in the videoshop I thought I'd rent it since I was ready for a laugh. It wasn't funny. It wasn't exciting. It was nothing. Absolutely nothing. I can't remember ever having seen a film that didn't trigger some sort of emotion at least once during the two hours. This was shocking. The deleted scenes and the gag reel were exactly the same. The two guys, the fat guy starts laughing all the time and the skinny guy wants to be serious. YAWN! YAWN! YAAAAAAWWWWWNNNNN!!!!!!!!

But surely it's all about personal opinion? In my opinion, "Dances With Wolves" was one of the most boring pieces of crap I have ever seen.
Dances with Wolves is one of the worst films you have ever seen? Damn. I'd hate to tell Costner his Best Picture? is on the same level as Batman and Robin, Jackass, and the occasional Friday 13th sequel. Oh well. I'm sure you regard the Postman in the same light
The worst movie I've seen was Starship Troopers. But Iron Monkey and the third part of AI are near the top of the list as well. Iron Monkey was that martial arts film made back in '93 that was released in the US just a few months after Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (which is an awesome movie). It had a very difficult to follow plot, it was utterly ridiculous, and to top it off, the subtitles disappeared half way through and remained off for about half an hour.
The first two parts of AI were pretty good - first the interesting look at the android child adapting to his family, and the second part with the dark Kubrik vision of humanity torturing the robots. The third part, when the decendents of the robots found the child, was totally stupid and candy-sweet, with the Pinocchio crap. It was so like Spielberg to take a good movie and ruin it with some sugar coated crap.
can't remember the title but it just came out in video, Mathew Mconnomy(sp?) plays a guy possessed by God to kill demons
awful awfull . . . I snuck in to watch it . . and stayed for a while . . . i thought that it had some good acting . . .
but when it turned out to be about a guy who is really possessed by God in order to kill demons . . unstead of what I thought it would be: a story about fanaticism leading to murder . . I was very very dissapointed
that kind of film makes it seem good to be hearing God tell you to kill.</strong><hr></blockquote>
It's called Frailty... and it's a damn good movie. Maybe you didn't enjoy it cus you built it up into something else? *shrugs*
Pretentious drivel masquerading as edgy "art" film.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Yes! I totally agree. It came out just around the time when mainstream American cinema was dabbling in slightly more intelligent fare (American Beauty as an example of a good outcome of this), and somehow Magnolia was mistaken for an intelligent, arty film. It wasn't. It was a stupid, pointless mess. The only redeeming moment was when all the characters broke out in song, but that wasn't worth the rest of the film.
OTOH, i can't believe somebody listed 'Sitcom' as a bad movie! It's one of my favorite films. I love showing it to people and watching their reactions (strangely, few of them ever talk to me again after that... )
I tend to avoid shlocky looking Hollywood films, so i've been spared Titanic and Wedding Planner type garbage for the most part, but for another 'garbage posing as an arty movie', try 'Buffalo '66'. At first, you think it was shot on a home video camera without a script, or even a central idea, and by then end, you are convinced. Basically, it follows a very stupid, ugly, totally unappealing character as he mopes around for three hours. Totally unengaging, pointless, and a waste of time. I think the guy who made it (he wrote, directed and acted) thought that by sticking together endless footage of him sitting on park benches and muttering to himself, he would have produced an 'art movie'. Sorry, it takes a wee bit more than that.
is it true that the first edition of Fiends and Folio 1981 version in very good shape can be sell 150 $ ?</strong><hr></blockquote>
I can't say for sure but I know that original D&D material, along with AD&D 1st Ed. stuff are highly sought after as collectibles, and I've heard that they can be worth quite a pretty penny...not as much as say, a mint condition "Transformers" Optimus Prime still in the box (I've heard they go for $200+ USD), but still quite a bit nonetheless.

When I saw "sitcom", I didn't know what to make of it. I thought it was at the same time quite funny and quite tragic; the bits with the rat and the card game was great, but when the girl jumped off the balcony...I think it's a cool "arty film"...just not a great film.

that was me. the film tries to be outlandish, jolting, satirical, etc, but for me it was just plain boring. nothing really grabbed me, nothing was that funny... it seemd like it was trying too hard. i'm not saying that this is you, but it seemed to me to be the type of artsy film that people would like to say they loved, but really didn't care for all that much, because it is so bizarre. and its not that i don't like bizarre, offbeat films, if you looks at my "best films" list-- shinju ten no amijima is in there, and i loved katakurike no kofuku!
1. Dark City... the only movie I have ever... A) Had an entire group actually fall asleep while watching (not at home I'm talking in the actual theater), and Wake up and leave the theater
2. Smokey and the Bandit part 3: A movie so bad even Burt Reynolds wouldn't do it.
3. Highlander 2: There can be only one... unless you are a race of aliens in another part of the galaxy who send your convicts into the future to fight, then choose to grow up and die or.... yeah you get the point... or probably not....</strong><hr></blockquote>
Hey! I like Dark City but I'm right there with you on the Highlander 2 thing. Why did they have to ruin such a good thing?!!
Worst: The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, pretentious at best
Aliens 3+ (Although I like Aliens)
Everything put out by Disney in the last 15 years that wasn?t a Pixar film
Eyes Wide Shut (we had to go sit in the bar for a while in the middle of that one)
The English Patient
Thin Red Line (I almost cried in the theatre when I realized it was a three-hour movie. I saw it with a friend and we both wanted to walk out but thought the other person didn?t.)
Boob Raider, err, I mean Tomb Raider?love the game; hate the movie
THE ASTRONAUT'S WIFE, (1999), quite possibly the worst movie i've ever seen...
well.... first that pretentious hollywood woman, charlize theron, is in it..... i thought she was alright in "the devil's advocate," then she just kept on "over-acting" and "over-acting...." and kept on "over-acting" in every other movie since.....
what was johhy depp thinking in that movie??? <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

Somehow, it managed to get a 3.6/10 at <a href="http://www.imdb.org/"; target="_blank">the Internet Movie Database</a>. Go figure...
