Crash was awful. Hi I'm a movie with dozens of plot holes but I cover them up by tugging on the audience with cheap emotional tricks... HURRR

One that sticks in my mind is "Stay"... pretty fvcking bad.

really? that's the one w/ Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts, right?

it was bad? i was looking foward to seeing that (currently in my netflix queue). I'll probably see it anyway tho. What was so horrible about it?


Yeah, we were looking forward to it as well. Figured it'd be worth a see just for Ewan and Naomi.

But somehow, it managed to defy the cosmos, and presented itself in blashpemous grandeur, as the most miserable movie either one has ever made (IMO). Think a David Lynch movie that's lost it's edge, gone mild, and gone horribly wrong. This whole non-linear storyline has been played and perfected to no end, so when a subject of the genre is presented so poorly this late into the game, you can't help but notice.

Director Marc Forster (who, though talented, dropped several points in my mind as a result of this movie) dissapoints, cheesy camera work, gimmicks exploited to no end. The script is awkward and it seems as if both the actors and the audience can feel it. Dunno, some might enjoy the ride, but I had a hard time sitting through it.

Stay is by far the worst movie I have seen in the last year or two. I mean WTF were they thinking, I was waiting for the movie to reveal what was going on at the end but it just fvcking ended.

really, it was like a blockbuster production created solely as a private joke for some obscure entity out there, laughing at all the douches who paid in cash to sit through two hours of total crap.

If it had some spectacular finish, I'm sure at least SOME of the audience would have been tricked into forgetting the 100 minutes of garbage leading up to that point- but no, Stay couldn't even give us that. It just ended. No I'm serious, that's what happened. Like they ran out of money, the cast got bored, or someone with half a brain on the crew realized what a pathetic mess the whole project was and blew up what remained of the set, though taking care not to harm Ewan and Naomi cause hey- they're cute.

They're all pretty bad. I went through maybe 20 movies this past week, I didn't like any of them. Narnia is soooooooooo cheesy. Who the hell compared it to LOTR?
