Hudson Hawk

It tried too hard to be funny, but it was the antithesis of funny.

The first half of The Watcher. I say the first half, because we walked out after Keanu Reeves blew up a gas station in a gas soaked car. Absolutely, positively, the worst movie ever. :| Closesly followed by Deep Blue Sea, which was OK, because it was so bad, it was funny. The Watcher was so bad, it hurt. Ouch.

Starship Troopers.

"What is it, Doogie? What is the monster thinking?"

[deep intake of breath] "It's afraid!"

[cheers and various happiness from moronic Baywatch extras in uniform].

XM, Starship Troopers falls into my "so bad it's funny" category. I'm not ashamed to say it's in my DVD collection. All the gore and bad acting makes for great entertainment, preferrably while under the influence ;)

The book, however, is one of my favorites. Wish they made a movie like it.

Werk - I myself wanted to see a little power armor action, too.

The computer game looks to be more faithful to the book, should be pretty cool. The only thing they're using from the movie is the bug designs (which weren't that bad).

Big Trouble in Little China was pretty bad.

Blue Velvet was great and I liked Waterworld too.
Spanking the Monkey was disturbing but it had its momments.
IMHO of course.

Blair Witch on DVD. Sheit...that is the WORST movie I had ever seen. People say it was better in the theaters...I doubt it!

Ah, finally someone else who has seen that flick!

I loved the way she used the aliens to get revenge on everyone who had taken advantage of her... and I thought it was almost prophetic in that it came out right before the advent of AIDS.... I wouldn't mind seeing it again because there did seem to be a social commentary in there somewhere.

But man, that soundtrack was awful!!!! Absolutely painful to listen too. Made it hard to watch an otherwise interesting movie.

Battlefield Earth

I am sad to say that I went to see it. It must have been the only movie to ever make me want to leave. The only reason I stayed was to finish my popcorn.

Meet Joe Black - Girlfriend dragged me to it. I fell asleep. See wasn't too happy, but even she agreed that it was bad.

Blair Witch sucked. Of course my GF's "trendy" friends thought I wasn't "with it" because it sucked. Oh well, better to admit it sucked than being a poseur pretending to be artsy-fartsy.

Crash was a waste of $3 spent to rent it. My GF and I returned it the second it was rewound. All the more amazing considering it was 4:30AM and the outside temperature was 22F.

i never get the humor in Big Lebowsky
i also think Notting Hill suck ass... but I was in a very non-romantic mood.

and I think its a pretty damn hilarious movie.

Summer of Sam - It just sucked...

Showgirls for me and Miss Elizabeth Berkley still has trouble finding any work in Hollywood after that disaster.

I thought that Scary Movie was downright horrible. I sat there the whole time going "omg this is so stupid, juvenile, funny only to 13 year olds, why on earth did i waste my money on this?!"
