OPO, so what was the worst film you ever saw?

let's not forget about kate bush's the line, the cross and the curve.

seconding the, um, second harold and kumar movie. don't know why i went to see it as it's not really my bag but it really wasn't good. i told the guy at the ticket desk afterward and he offered to give me a refund which surprised me. has anyone got a refund on a seen-movie?

(i wasn't complaining, just mentioned the movie was bad and making a joke of it. i didn't take the money.)

fair enough nilmar - i just saw it as a rather pointed logical-extension of the saddest excesses and hyperbolisms of british kitchen-sink misery, with a shiv to the guts of se london and its drunken goodfornothing proles into the bargain

make no mistake though - the real enemy is sin city

my contenders are:

american beauty - I was in a rage for days after seeing that POS
jury duty - ah youth. my friend and I loved Pauly Shore, we thought it would be fun. *fart.wav*
Vampires (John Carpenter) - Escape from LA wasn't enough to convince me. I had to go BACK to the theater to see James Woods drag women into the sun and laugh as they burst into flames. That was when Carpenter and I broke up and I threw his clothes onto the street, and when James Woods and I could no longer be friends.
500 days of summer - i felt like I was being marketed to, it was gross. and so many people saying 'oh YOU will LOVE it' which left me wondering why they thought I was THAT fucking idiot.
The Help - good christ what a steaming pile of garbage

I think the winner is American Beauty. I still get annoyed when I think about it.

dancer in the dark. annoying shaky camerawork and mumbled dialog (as i recall) combined with nails-on-chalkboard musical sequences.

Let it not be said that I don't appreciate abstract film in general, nor that I don't appreciate Brakhage's films specifically. A cursory glace at my list of favorite films will quickly dispel such notions. However, I have to be blunt about this: Dog Star man is mind-numbingly boring! It takes far, far too long and reveals only material that is either sub-par or plain ugly. It is both his most ambitious film and his least accomplished one. That smells like pretentiousness.

oh ee the lads

Probably the most overrated movie of all time. I'm usually a fan of classics and cherished films such as these. My reasons for hating this movie are all legitimate. I don't hate this movie because of its age, or lack of color or whatever other immature crap I'm forgetting

I'm not someone who's easily bored when it comes to movies - I love The Godfather, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Scarface, Goodfellas; all very long movies that many consider to be boring, but I consider them all to be entertaining.

what's the character limit for DNs again?

also i can't believe people are saying that shitty big budget movies are worse than things filmed by an epileptic goat here. get some perspective, haters!

no way is 100 MILLION POUND BUDGET CHILDREN'S NAZI CARTOON MOVIE worse than some 50 quid low quality arthouse film i watched once

This is ultra-weird pretentious crap. Some would have you believe that in fact it's so bad that by some exotic philosophical logic it becomes really good again. Don't believe the rumors though: crap = crap. Some might even argue that it's a self-parody and that therefore it's actually a success. Don't believe that either: Plan 9 wouldn't all of a sudden become a good film if it were revealed that it was in fact a self-parody: to be sure, such a revelation might up the score a little bit but it could never score a sufficient mark, because the film is just intrinsically bad, no matter what the intentions of it's makers were.

tbh i would watch a movie filmed by an epileptic goat

NO. OBVIOUSLY BAD FILMS ARE WORSE THAN COOL FILMS, GET REAL

SOME OF YOU PEOPLE HAVE OBVIOUSLY ONLY SEEN 3 FILMS IF YOU HATE EMO ADVENTURES OF SAD MAN

kinda the cinematic equivalent of 50 quid man

dinna dinna dinna dinna dinna dinna dinna dinna 50 QUID MAN

Kirsten Dunst clearly now thinking she can bare her breasts in a Von Trier film because of course its 'tastefully done' - Im sorry but if I put some Mozart over a porno I could make the same case. The only thing that makes people think this type of nudity in film is any different is because its 'artsy' but the truth is its just long, montages of scenery & imagery with classical music complementing it and replacing what might have made a decent screenplay.

POPPYCOCK! WHAT A 'ORRIBLE FILM!

tsk girls

so glad about the kicking 500 D*ys *f S*mm*r is getting.

YEAH, BUN DEM ROMANTIC COMEDY

Absolute bollocks with no redeeming features whatsoever. It's not even bad in a good way, it's just pure unadulterated shite. If it wasn't for JB (in his worst role ever) it never would have seen the light of day. The script is so poor, I wouldn't even lower myself to wipe my arse on a copy of it.

nv are u having a stroke or a tantrum

Babel. Big pile of absolute worthless scum sucking pretentious codswallop of the highest order.

xp i bloody love me some Rom Coms too; Notting Hill type stuff that loadsa people think are garbage etc so it must have been REALLY fuckin bad.
i honestly thought that dance-down-the-street sequence was a pisstake.

little from column a, little from column b, little from column death to our friends

I really wanted to like this, but it was thoroughly disappointing. I picked it as a special-occasion night out and spent the rest of the evening regretting my decision.

Directors get overrated for various reasons. The most common ones are:

1) Political Orientation; when the director is a Marxist/left-winger and makes films of that nature (if he is politically active, as well, the chances of him/her being overrated soar)

2) Geography; when he is European (hence regarded as something special and "exotic" by American film-critics and nerdy film-buffy audiences)

3) Pretentious Baloney; when a director makes a lot of "allegorical" dramas; generally speaking, the number of dramas a film-maker creates is directly proportional to the chances that he gets overrated; sexual deviousness/perversion and bizarre/metaphysical imagery greatly help too in raising his status to ridiculous heights

Suffice it to recall recent trends in the visual arts: gone are the days of simple statues or framed paintings—what we see now are the frames themselves without paintings, dead cows and their excrement, videos of the inside of the human body (gastroscopy and colonoscopy), the inclusion of odors in the exhibition, and so on and so forth. Here, again, as in the domain of sexuality, perversion is no longer subversive: the shocking excesses are part of the system itself, what the system feeds on in order to reproduce itself. Perhaps this gives us one possible definition of postmodern art as opposed to modernist art: in postmodernism, the transgressive excess loses its shock value and is fully integrated into the established art market.

The movie I reviewed is overrated garbage. I wanted a Batman film, not the corny or realistic dull filler types. A Batman film that represents the character, the adventure from comics or a new one, and the fictional legend. It must be grim, dark, brutal, brooding, serious (not like TDK which is still better than TDKR), amazing, stylized not dull, action packed while not UFC-based like in TDKR, mysterious like Batman stories SHOUL BE, and fun. Fun, not boring.

Actually you guys need to see some p risible Aus films, I didnt even think to include those. Fat Pizza and the Craic come to mind. Fucking hell the Craic was shite.

Trayce, have you seen BMX Bandits?

Yeah, years ago. I dont recall it being dreadful, just kind of like a long kids TV show tbh. But I could be misremembering and confusing it with ... er well, there was a TV show of it, I think.

I’m going to say it…I think the Hangover is also overrated. Sure, I pissed my pants at least half a dozen times watching it…the first time. But, the second time I watched it…I laughed, but not nearly as hard as I did the first time. I’m looking forward to seeing Hangover 2. I’ll probably laugh, but I still hold that Spaceballs, Airplane, and Major League are better comedies because they stand the test of time.

lol

bmx bandits was cute.

ha I watched bmx bandits last year afrer not seeing it for years

fking bike chases go on a bit

uggh and Nilmar otm re Babel
