Well, I’m glad Michelle Trachtenberg is getting work, but I’m sure this movies is gonna make a lot of people wish Buffy hadn’t been cancelled. (Any plot synopsis that refers to Michelle T. as an “ugly duckling” is so far removed from reality that it makes Buffy look like a documentary.)
I nominate:
Coach Carter
In Good Company
Judging by the trailers both look like cheesefests that must make the province of Provolone jealous. Which sucks considering Scarlett Johansson is in the second one.
I agree that Racing Stripes will be tough to beat for sheer awfulness, but I have a feeling that Elektra and Constantine will do their best to give that zebra a run for his money in the Loser Stakes.
You realize that was just a really good Wonderbra right?
Hey knock off Racing Stripes. I am sure the three people out there who haven’t seen Babe will rave about it!
Ice Princess-- I agree with this one. Not only are we appealing to sports that a lot of girls might enjoy, but we throw MATH into it as well! If your that book smart you can not under any circumstances become that popular.
Anyone want to take bets out on the fact that the “formula” fails her durring the championship competition? Yeah so do I.
I have mixed feelings on “The Pacifier” and “Are we There Yet”, The jokes where good, only the first time I saw them. Why do I have feeling these are the only jokes / or other jokes will follow suit?
Something I want to see succeed, but will have its Critics is “The Ring 2”
Scanners could be cool.
King Kong *will * be cool. I mean, it’s Peter Jackson’s other dream project.
But Porky’s? Why bother? Why not just make another teen sex comedy and save on the roaylties? They’re all the same anyway. It’s not like the first Porky’s was dated anyway, since it was already set in 1950’s.
And the Fly? Why? How could anything top Cronenberg’s interpretation?
Seems rather fitting to me. Granted, she’s not a female Steve Buscemi but she’s not gorgeous either. Nor are Hannigan or Gellar although I admit to having crushes on them at times. Caulfield’s pretty cute though.
Any movie with Rob Schneider is gonna suck, those aren’t worthy of a list like this. To be here, a movie has to have some pretentions.
Glancing at the apple site for trailers…
The Pacifier shows that Vin Diesel really wants Ahnuld’s job, by doing a (sorta) remake of Kindergarten Cop. Looks awful. (And I kinda like Vinnie)
And speaking of Vinne, xXx - state of the union is the sequel, but without Vinnie, but with with Ice Cube as - and I quote - “The New Tripple X”.
For some reason, Paramount has decided that Indiana Jones, the Mummy and National Treasure wasn’t enough, so they’ve decided to make a film from “the book by international bestseller Clive Cussler”: Sahara.
I like Sandra Bullock. Based of what I’ve seen of her in interviews and stuff, she seems like a cool and down to earth gal, just my type. And extra kudos to her: she just gave away a million bucks to the tsunami victims - from her own money. When other celebs just talk about what others should do and go on telethons urging me, poor unemployed schmuck, to give money, they rarely give anything themselves, except maybe royalty for some work, or work free. But she paid up. Kudos to her. Maybe that’s the reason she has to do Miss Congeniality 2.
A movie I want to hate is Guess Who, with Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher. However, there might be a giggle or two in it.
On preview - yeah Trachtenberg is ugly. Sure. Whatever.
In Good Company has received fairly good reviews. It came out just before the end of 2004, which is a sign that the studio must have thought it had a chance at getting nominated for something.
I dunno about the worst movie of 2005, but after listening to AM radio the past month I can certainly attest to the fact that the worst movie commercial of all time is for A Very Long Engagement.
Gawd… I don’t know if you’ve heard this yet, but it starts with the swelling of cheesy, saccharine, cliche violin music and a monologue so bad that the first week I thought it was a parody.
But it’s not.
And the entire plot sounds like a ripoff of Cold Mountain, which was at least watchable, even if it was predictable.
Only with gratuitous use of the ff button on the remote.
Bwahahaha!
Ha ha hee . …

Wonderbra doesn’t do much for the face, the butt, etc…
The Pacifier looks like it will be really really bad.
Although I’m of the mind that Tim Burton can (almost) do no wrong, the teaser for Charlie & the Chocolate Factory has got me pretty nervous.
I read today that Jennifer Garner is bailing on promotional appearances for Elektra, claiming she has a virus.
Uh huh, “a virus”, mmmkay. Could be, though I suspect a case of flop-o-phobia.
I just don’t know… I keep thinking “Tim Burton! Great! Willy Wonka! Crrepy but great!” And then I remember that shocking planet of the apes remake… and then I can’t sleep anymore
Are we There Yet? looks unbearable, but then, I have no intention of seeing it.
There’s a saying in the industry: “If it’s January, it’s junk.” This may not always be the case, but the movies released in January tend to be the bottom of the barrel or pretty close to it.
I’ll give Burton and the new Choc Factory a chance, since I really enjoyed Big Fish. I’m hoping he’ll make two good 'uns in a row. Or three, if The Corpse Bride turns out well.
Tim Burton is also doing The Corpse Bride, which looks completely unappealing to me. But then, I’ve never had any great desire to see The Nightmare Before Christmas, either.
I just saw a trailer today for Because of Winn Dixie and it looks like crap to me. Maybe I’ll be proven wrong…Wha ha ha ha! I crack myself up!
Some people have a different theory for that, based on what my radio DJs say…
