To think this is the worse film I have EVER seen?

I think I am still in mild shock.

Had a bit of time to kill yesterday afternoon so thought I'd watch a bit of telly. Blues Brothers 2000 was on. Loved the original and whilst I didnt think this would match it, it did have an impressive cast so thought I would give it a go.

Have you SEEN it It was so bad it sort of mesmerised me. It was like it was started without a script or plot line and they sort of chucked things at it as they went along.

At one point a voodoo queen turned them all into green zombies so they would play crappy pop/jazz fusion. There were also animated skeleton cowboys riding on skeleton cows, a car driving under water for at least a mile (not a special car, just a car), a black policeman levatating through the roof of a revival meeting and turning into the 3rd blues brother on his way down, a car pile up that went on for about 5 minutes long after anyone driving behind the first few cars would have realised something was up and Russian gangsters who turned into rats.

Twas mad. How the hell did they get James Brown and Eric Clapton involved in that?

John Goodman was in it. I am wondering if he produced it. I think he has a history of these vanity projects.

Anyone got it on DVD? I think I need to see it one more time.

So am I right or is there a worse film?

I have to say that I did like MR. Not a big fan of Nicole Kidman, but I thought it was really alive and surreal. It was like being on drugs or something, with the added benefit of Ewan McGregor...

shineon - If you find 'Fight Club' "truly awful", I'm curious to hear about your favourite movies.

I'm tempted to think you didn't understand it, tbh.

CoteDAzur · 30/05/2009 14:25

Now Moulin Rouge was truly awful. Did it even have a plot? I seem to have erased it from memory. All I remember is colors, song and dance. And there was a midget.

Australia is the biggest pile of overhyped crap I've seen in ages - funnily enough, very few aussies I know have defended it either. Nicole Kidman and that awful accent and absolutely no charisma. Only highlight was Hugh Jackman's pecs (ahhh - for a film solely about them...)

Anything with Huge Grant in normally steers me towards the eject button.

BelfastBloke · 30/05/2009 15:09

CoteDAzur, that was my argument for ShineOn about Fight Club.

I know it sounds patronising, but I would say I didn't understand it the first time I saw it, either.

CoteDAzur · 30/05/2009 15:23

Oh I see she loved Snakes on a Plane. That explains it then

The worst films ever are Eyes Wide Shut and A clockwork Orange. Just...diabolically shit.

BelfastBloke · 30/05/2009 16:12

You do understand that Meatloaf + tits wasn't the main focus of Fight Club, right? That was just an amusing motif?

purepurple · 30/05/2009 16:20

the worst film ever is the Matrix
DH has it on DVD and watches it endlessly
every time it is on, I wish the guy would take the blue pill (or is it the red one?)

Suckle at the teat of Meatloaf and you might rediscover your sense of romance and indeed, your humanity.

The singing along has been known, yes!

But I haven't replaced my vinyl don't own the album.

Meatloaf = singer
Meatloaf = actor = the pitiful character he's playing

Nah, I'm not. Although my fav bands are the perfectly respectable Pogues and Sisters of Mercy.

Does that mean I'm old?

I didn't like Mama Mia either but the pain of having to watch it was softened by the fact it was just before Christmas and I sold it on ebay for the same amount I paid

janeite · 07/06/2009 22:13

Belfast Bloke - we still have vinyl in our house too!! Oldie emoticon.

I love threads like this. The worst films I have seen in my life are, without a doubt:

  1. Love Actually
  2. Brokeback Mountain
  3. The Piano
janeite · 07/06/2009 22:15

Nowt wrong with The Sisters Of Mercy!
