-The Marine
-Rocka Rolla. I usually enjoy Guy Ritchie's work, but this had the distinction of being the first movie to actually put me to sleep.
-Pineapple Express. Not. Funny.

[Invader Zim]

I know its a cliche of an answer but: Titanic.

I also hated The Oxford Murders, and i think that Transformers and its sequal of truly slimy and disturbing in the way the female characters are portrayed.


van Wilder

If you think this film is that bad, then i fully commend you on your choice of movies, you must have avoided the massive plathora of terrible and considerably worse movies which characterised my childhood and teenage years.

[Aesop]

The Mighty Ducks

[RHIZOMES]

my fave part is when Tom Cruise is captured in that net thing. Before all the people in it are just lying around all sad and dejected thinking their situation is hopeless, suddenly Tom Cruise gets in and is like EVERYONE PUSH DOWN!!! and they're motivated to action... because, uh... it's Tom Cruise of course.

[Technocrat]

Antichrist.

Pretentious, sexually violent images thrown together for shock value and to bait the audience. Seriously some of the most messed up stuff I have seen in a movie (there is a scene where a woman cuts off her own clitoris with a pair of rusty scissors, shown in extreme closeup so that no details are missed - just to give you an idea)

Kind of reminds me of the poetry or art that some high school students make - they think they can be very profound by just throwing a bunch of symbols around with no justification or THOUGHT behind it.

Now, if there were a REASON behind all of this disturbing imagery, I wouldn't object at all. You watch it hoping that there will be a POINT to all of this imagery - but there isn't, making it an incredibly shallow and pompous film. You really WANT there to be a point why you sat through this movie, but there is none. Maybe that IS the point, but that in itself strikes me as pretentious. All that just to say that life is pointless? I already knew that, thanks. In this movie, Lars Von Trier tries REALLY hard to completely ruin sex: There are some things you just can't "un-see" in this movie.

Also, Lars Von Trier is a pretentious asshole.

I know I used the word pretentious 3 times - 4 times now, but that single word pretty much sums up the whole experience.

Yeah, that's Gus Van Sant, and although that's kind of a lousy movie, it's sill FAR better than Antichrist.

As I have said to others on this board, you need to see some really poor films. Neither Twilight film was that bad, certainly its message about chaste purity is laughable, but I've seen a whole lot worse films both in terms of politics and entertainment. Indeed I found the films relatively refreshing in that in this instance it is young men stripping to their wastes, for the benefit of teenage girls, rather than the typical trend in Hollywood to leave that to the female cast members. It is about time that Hollywood dropped this ludicrous notion that female viewers need to be protected from the horrors of lust while their male viewers do not.

Ouch. :crying:


I can't think of any films I hated enough to mention in this thread. I don't like the series Sex and the City so I'm guessing I'd also dislike the movie. Ummm...I think I hate pretentious films even more than I hate obviously rubbishy ones. Vanilla Sky was pretty bad, but I can't tell whether that was because of Tom Cruise.

[MarxSchmarx]

Shaq which inspite of its great sound track glorified police brutality.

I would rather burn my eyes than watch any of the Shrek sequels.

I disagree, I thought Antichrist was an excellent movie. Maybe among the best I have seen.

The moral of the film is not that "life is pointless", I have no idea where you got that from. The "sickening" scenes in the film are actually relatively few, and not pointless. If you think they are, you have not seen many horror (or "splatter-") movies. What can be a bit overwhelming is the strong sense, or feeling, of despair throughout the movie, it is used to a very strong effect.

[Chimurenga.]

90% of "comedies" that have come out in the past decade.

[RadioRaheem84]

Judd Apatow movies. Rom-Coms of the new century.

but they are comedy classics..

[RHIZOMES]

Also Highlander II: The Quickening. I liked the first movie so when this came on TV I was like "oh cool, it may be bad but it'll still be entertaining".

By the end of the film I was like FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Worst film I have ever seen.

Sounds pretty messed up. Now I want to watch it.

The very idea (and the plot, if you can call it one) of the Twilight series disgusts me. If I actually read the books or watched the films I'd probably die of a heart attack over how shitty it is.

[lebeR]

The Time Traveler's Wife!

[Bilan]

Land of the Lost.
That film is insufferable.

Transformers is also pain. Especially the second.
Just...stupid. Painfully.

[ZeroNowhere]

Kind of reminds me of the poetry or art that some high school students make - they think they can be very profound by just throwing a bunch of symbols around with no justification or THOUGHT behind it.Oh dear. Having helped with editing of a high school creative writing 'magazine' (didn't really resemble a magazine, but yeah), I don't think I'll be touching that film any time soon if it resembles the fair few other films that resemble your description.

Speed Shpeed Sh She Shed
Light Might core more more more
Psy Psy My own mine mine yours
Je crainds seulement la crainte
Also gore.



Transformers is also pain. Especially the second.
Just...stupid. Painfully. Rumour has it that occasionally Megan Fox sits and sighs, saying, "I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it."


The very idea (and the plot, if you can call it one) of the Twilight series disgusts me. If I actually read the books or watched the films I'd probably die of a heart attack over how shitty it is.Hopefully it comes to be considered a classic so that some maverick IB student may write an Extended Essay on the theme of sparkliness in Twilight.

The Hangover - Fear and Loathing 00's style ie with a bunch of desperately unfunny, uninteresting dipshit man-boys.

KERRRRRAYYYYYYZEEEEE!!!!!!!

The problem i had with The Hangover is that i feel that we (as in I, as in the audience) were expected to laugh at things just because they were there:

"Mike Tyson listening to Phil Collins??!?!?!??!!?!?!??! LOL - WATEVAH!!!!!

*chuckles* its funny, cuz he's psychotic.....

and, oh, wahts this?! A CHINAMAN!!!!! BRILLLIANt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 Definitely the funniest race - and he's swearing...... like a BLACK MAN!!!!!

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:: laugh::laugh::laugh: "

hold on to your sides, they might just split.



Grade: Kill Me.


A lot of those Men-as-boys comedies annoy me. They should all just go away.


2012, Transformers (both of them), Avatar, anything by Michael Bay (except for The Rock, which i remember enjoying). Stuff like that.

there were some really really funny parts in that movie. it was kind of immature though.

I agree that the Hangover rested it's comedy on the idea that people would just find the stupidest scenerios as funny.

I TOTALLY agree with you on the Hangover. EVERYBODY thought it was the funniest movie to come out in a long time. i feel like the only one that thought it was shit! Just as you said, i felt we were expected to laugh at things simply because they were there, all those "OMG that wuz soooo random! :w00t:"-type moments that the movie completely depends upon.
And i loved Avatar so eff you!!

[Axle]

The Book of Eli. The whole movie is spent trying to build mystique around "the book" Denzel Washington's carrying around like it isn't totally obvious that its a fucking Bible.

The movie also gave off kind of a "Christians are so persecuted" vibe, which wore pretty thin.

[Raúl Duke]

I agree on the hangover thing...I noticed the whole man-boy motiff (and it's a dull one...).

[I.Drink.Your.Milkshake]

And i loved Avatar so eff you!!


:)

I've calmed down a bit over Avatar. In retrospect i think i was perhaps just as swept up in the hype surrounding it as many other people except that, with me, it inverted itself so i came away slating absolutely everything about it. It's not one of the worst films ive ever seen, and perhaps doesnt deserve to be my "brain wall art" list alongside 2012 or Transformers. If i were to put it on a /10 scale, though, I still wouldnt go any higher than 4/10 for it - definitely below average. I couldnt sit through it again.

[Dooga Aetrus Blackrazor]

I always hated Syriana. It's funny because a bunch of my teachers at the time loved it, and two friends, and I went. We all hated it. We liked the teachers, too, so they would bias our opinions favorably if anything. It wasn't that we were disappointed. It was just a terrible movie.

I like Avatar. I also liked the Hangover. I went into the Hangover not having heard of the movie. Perhaps it's a case where people won't stop talking about something so you hate the movie before you see it? It's not sophisticated. It's random and offensive stuff. I love that kind of humor. Coming up with something that is both genuinely random and funny is harder than you think. If you watch Family Guy and shows like that, they often fail. I have no idea why some random stuff is funny and other stuff isn't. I just liked the Hangover, I guess. It's not one of my favorite films, but I did enjoy it (watched it twice, 2nd time with friends).

At what point was that movie funny?

The Hurt Locker. Horrid imperialist propaganda.

She has made some good movies in the past, though. Like Near Dark.

[Uncle Hank]

At what point was that movie funny?
The point(s) where you were being a humorless wanker who tries to prove he's intelligent by not laughing at things that are pretty fucking funny given the context. So essentially the entire movie.

[Manifesto]

I just never saw that movie funny in any way. I guess once when they thought it would actually be a good idea to put alcohol in laundry detergent bottles.

[Communist]

"Near Dark" is a great film, one of the definitive '80's horror pieces. Great soundtrack by Tangerine Dream as well.
