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

uggh and Nilmar otm re Babel
bad bad bad

donnie darko is my #1

Now let’s get one thing straight. I’m a barbarian. I like things to be straightforward and have a clear meaning. Movies should have good and interesting plots – otherwise they’re pretentious crap. Those who praise “Artistic” movies that rely on “style” and “technical accomplishment” should, in my opinion keep their views to themselves. And for good reasons. There are a class of people (I’m sure you’ve met them) who need to feel superior, and when they’re told that such and such a thing is “classic”, will harp on about it even if it bores them to death – perhaps because it bores them to death.

yeah Donnie Darko.. jesus christ.

what we need are some stalin show trials for ppl who praise 'artistic' movies that rely on 'style' and 'technical accomplishment.' these are films that mock the ppl and those that praise them are upholding the old ways and feudalism

I was once told I’m far to much of a yuppie to really be able to appreciate great art and I have no business whatsoever going to films.

i only like to watch films that show a worker participating in the glorious labor under the sun, an honest day's work, he gives back to the people and takes what he needs, he does not follow the old ways, he sacrifices for the state, he is a man of honor who inspires us all

it'd be ace if you cd run a business based on going to films

i havent seen donnie darko & I celebrate my ignorance of it

i'd watch Garfield 2 for money

i mean i'd probably bunk off but it wdn't be any different to any other job

i like donnie darko fine it's the director's cut where they thought that what made people like it was all the stoner bullshit time-travel details AND WERE PROBABLY RIGHT that's atrocity-level

pls nb i am a stoner

DIRECTOR'S CUT

oh you're a stoner, maybe i was one too i'd also enjoy donnie darko

This isn't a film - it's a completely unwatchable ordeal. I've never had a root canal, but I'm pretty sure it would be preferable to Godard's pretentious naval-gazing.

yeah xp you should take a look at the weed politics thread don't be intimidated

i haven't smoked weed since the 90s and I thought Donnie Darko was entertaining

'Donnie Darko' is, quite simply, a masterpiece. Complex, inventive, gripping, strange, and in the end deeply moving, it has more ideas in it than Hollywood has produced in the entire last decade.

and a rabbit

ok guys you've convinced me i'm going to watch some lei feng biopics - the pinnacle of cinematic achievement

Women are like the film Donnie Darko. They convince you that you're not clever enough to understand them, but it turns out that they simply don't make any sense.

looool

xp especially them big bottom birds, eh m8?

Us men are assholes.

Seriously we are all assholes. look at the shit that we put girls through. labor, double standards, we always rape them. My buddy colin opened my eyes. He said to me "Ya know what makes me unhappy? When brothers make babies And leave a young mother ta be a pappy And since we all came from a woman Got our name from a woman And out game from a woman I wonder why we take from our women Why we rape our women Do we hate our women ? I think it's time ta kill for our women Time ta heal our women Be real to our women" He really got me thinking. Thanks colin for opening my eyes to a world that i never knew existed.

OTM. That Director's Cut was the worst.

Dr casino and al leong broadly otm

the only redeeming bit about Babel was it had a good soundtrack.

i will also add that the worst movie i ever saw in a theater was TRANSFORMERS and has completely turned me off any movie that has a bigger budget than Looper

funny that transformers was the movie that also did this for me

i'd forgotten what a POS that last Terminator movie was

dude even if you hated Donnie Darko you have to admit the Patrick Swayze scenes were really good, who the hell are you people

'Those' scenes werent actually shown iirc

ghost rider was pretty awful. but i did laugh throughout and had a great time. it does stand out as terrible tho.

transformers was really really boring. the action scenes were just noisy, nothing more.

Rifftrax made my Transformers viewing v entertaining. I can't even conceive of trying to watch that thing without those guys though. Yeesh.

Lady in the water, no contest

xp The amazing club scene in Babel, seen from the POV of the deaf girl, single-handedly saves it from "worst" territory for me.

haha I had forgotten what total horseshit the director's cut of Donnie Darko was

donnie darko was terrible generally. that did spring to mind last time i pondered the empty "add a post" box on this thread.

I like the Mexican wedding dancing in Babel. I mean, I know next-to-eff-all about Mexican weddings, but I liked the music and the Nortec stuff.

american beauty - I was in a rage for days after seeing that POS

that was the first thing that came to mind for this thread, i hated it so much! saw it in the theater and wound up with a terrible headache b/c it made me so angry

now i just walk out if that happens since it's really not worth getting angry over a movie. ie the watchmen - so terrible i had to leave

i recently rewatched donnie darko (not the LOL director's cut) ... it's fine, but it also hasn't aged well & i do feel a bit silly having to defend it (such as it is).

the echo and the bunnymen part is pretty good

Looking back, Hudson Hawke really is not a good answer for me. I'm not sure if I have seen any truly horrible films! I also hated Storytelling but oftentimes I think my enjoyment of films is contextual/situational and maybe (like music) it's about an optimal viewing (listening) situation/environment/mood/frame of mind.

I really quite like Donnie Darko. But I can see how the director's cut is a slap in the face, explaining all the shit that was fun to work out on one's own. Who needs that? (I havent seen the directors cut for this reason)

I still maintain that for me, horrible films are ones which you couldnt sit thru/couldnt stand to watch again, and Salo is up there for me.

Worst I've seen is probably some shit I rented as a kid. D3: The Mighty Ducks, maybe.

I couldn't finish watching Airplane!, so my vote is cast for Animal House, which I watched all of and is terrible.

(I don't find myself watching many things that are terrible but I watched all of Animal House and it wasn't good or funny or anything.)
