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

[chegirl]

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 think all of those mockney wide boy 'aint violence grand' all East End (as long as its Docklands) boys togevvah films are crap.

Posturing public school tossers prentending to be street. Ick.

Road to Welville - the only film I have ever walked out of. From what I remember it is about wanking and cornflakes!

The English Patient - Yawn!!

Mammamia - I sooo looked forward to it and was when I put myself through the fist hour on DVD.

Honestly, haven't any of you seen How To Get Ahead In Advertising?

If you had, there wouldn't be a debate....

is that the one with the giant talking zit?

Trouble is, all those films you listed I don't have strong opinions about. I can see all of them are pretty good, without loving them. Rita, Sue and Bob Too is very good IIRC. Haven't seen Coraline but suspect I'd like it.

I do, however, loathe:

1. A Few Good Men (Jack Nicholson)
2. The Last Samurai (Tom Cruise)
3. Dracula (Keanu Reeves, Anthony Hopkins)
4. All of the Star Wars prequels
5. All of the Pirates of the Carribean sequels

OK.

Looking back in the thread, the other films I loathed with a passion were Da Vinci Code and Pearl Harbour. I won't hear a good thing said about them.

Whereas I can hear a few good things said about A Few Good Men, but hate it overall. I'll watch that in the next 7 days, if you like.

HTGAIA was a bi disappointing after Withnail but not worst film ever. (Don't any of you dare put Withnail on this list or I'll track you down, I mean it .)

I love Rita, Sue...

Has anyone seen obscure Italian film from mid-90s called, I believe, Barnaby of the Rocks? It was so dull I almost wept (I was reviewing it and couldn't believe other critics had been to same screening - they heaped praise upon its "studied stillness"). Just remembered that La Dolce Vita virtually made me puke with boredom.

NO NO NO Inland Empia IS the worst film EVER and I would have had a better 3 hours chewing tin foil then I did watching this.

yes sea

the one with the boil that says "bollocks"

Surely, if you're looking for complexity and subtext, you can see that Meatloaf with a pair of tits, and blokes fighting to feel 'real', might just be saying something about gender roles?

In the same way, my criticism of A Few Good Men is about gender politics. The film pretends that Demi Moore's character is doing the difficult job of standing as an equal in a man's world, when in actual fact she is belittled at almost every turn.

The old "hot wax on the nipples" movie that Madonna made with Willem Dafoe is the worst movie of all time...what was it called? Body Of Evidence, that's it. Worst Movie Ever Made. FACT.

Are we pre-empting our discussion before we've re-watched the films?

"I'm a believer in the fact that there are jobs out there that women just can't do as well as men." But the job that Demi Moore's character does is not one of those. It's a job she would be able to do completely competently, but she is presented as screwing up repeatedly, and being 'saved' by Tom Cruise's maverick brilliance.

At the same time, he's continually putting her down. The film really does pretend that this is two romantic equals sparring, but in actual fact the outcome displays her (and by extension, women in the military) as constantly inept.

Moulin rouge is a definite grower - watch it for the colour and vitality not the plot

eyes wide shut is good!!!!

agree english patient -awful

notting hill et al are truly unwatchable

pirates of carribean yes yes yes o m g why was it sooooooo shite???? dreadful heap of...

< waves at shiney >

Come on, back me up guys! Body Of Evidence is truly abysmal, have you SEEN it?

There are these things called video rental stores.

You go there, ask for a video, watch it, and take it back. All for only a few of your English pounds.

Alternatively you could ask male friends. Some of them are bound to have it. And if they have the special edition, you can watch a documentary about the intricasies of the film.

Video = things you watch. From the Latin for "seeing".

You can watch video on CDs, VHS videotape, Betamax videotape, YouTube, and, yes, DVDs as well.

Woah, woah! Gilbert Grape is a bad film? What are you smoking?
