Shoeless, the movie is Punchline. I have this notion that it sucks as well, but can’t recall anything else about it anymore.
I also can’t remember much about Attack of the Clones.
I know I saw Turner & Hooch more than once (they forced us to watch it in junior high on days when they decided not to teach anything, which was often). I remember Tom Hanks flossing his teeth for about 5 minutes at the beginning, then a bunch of doggy slobber, and then I think the dog gets shot. Does that fill up the full 90 minutes?
All I remember is that the big conspiracy or secret plan or whatever was explained in the first 20 minutes of the movie and the rest was a bunch of crap I didn’t follow.
I got dupped into seeing Higlander 2 :smack:
What was I thinking. The only reason I stayed for the whole movie is because
it was like ove 100 deg outside and I didn’t have AC.
Pulp Fiction. A more putrid pile of steaming dinosaur dung I’ve not seen. And I’ve seen Plan Nine from Outer Space and I Spit on Your Grave. They are Academy Award quality compared to Tarrentino’s fetid waste of celluloid. Unfortunately, I have not been able to block the foul memory.
On the lighter side, I fall into that category of people who couldn’t tell you anything about Attack of the Clones if my life depended on it. Even after reading ** MaxTheVool**'s summary, I honestly don’t remember any of that.
The Ring. I was laughing so hard by the end of that movie that I pissed off several people. I don’t care. They shouldn’t have made such a shitty movie.
Movie: “I wonder how long somebody can live at the bottom of a well.”
Me: [slapping forehead] “Ugh, seven days.” (I said it fairly loud, too.)
And people actually looked at me like they didn’t see that coming. They did a double take when the girl said the same thing five seconds later.
The Pledge. So you go through the whole movie feeling sympathetic for Jack Nicholson (or possibly the widow and daughter whose family he joins) as he tries to finish that one last case he left when he retired from the police. Only at the very end, when you’re about to have some closure…THE BAD GUY’S CAR GETS PLOWED BY A SEMI TRUCK AND THAT’S THE END HAHAHAHAHAH THANKS FOR THE MONEY SUCKER!!!
Mortal Kombat Annihilation. Not that the first one was any great shakes, but seriously. They ride American Gladiators-style spheres through the center of the earth as their main mode of transportation. It’s so bad, it’s good for a laugh.
I love Jack Nicholson, but of late he has gotten himself in some real dreck. The only
Jack Movie I walked out of was The Crossing Guard . It was tremendously slow. The movie got to a scene that introduces the Robin Wright charecter and my friend and I looked at each other and had the same look on our faces :rolleyes: .and we had had enough.
Forced myself to finally watch About Schmidt. There really was No reason for this film to be made.
Preach it, RoadFood and PapSett - Pulp Fiction is awful. I saw it, and hated it, then successfully wiped most of it from memory, except the parts that were included in the soundtrack (which is good) and that stupid scene where the dumb girl is talking about her pot belly. Even the soundtrack parts I only remembered the dialog to (not the setting), and I’d partially convinced myself that I must be misremembering the pot belly scene because no one would put something that stupid in a movie.
Hated that movie. Mistakenly told Mr. Snicks (who loved it) that I hated it and didn’t remember most of it, and he made me watch it again “just to be sure.” Hated it equally the second time, but sadly, I can’t do the memory wipe again, so now I remember most of it. And that pot belly scene is still one of the worst in cinematic history.
Wow, up to now I’d thought I was the only person on the SDMB who didn’t put Pulp Fiction in the top ten greatest movies of all time. Good to know. My wife hated it too, but I have to say if she liked it, and tried to make me watch it again, that’d be grounds for divorce. It would take a gun to my head to get me to watch that pile of excrement again, and even then I’d have to think about it.
** Hung Mung**'s comment about laughing at the end reminded me of another: The Life of David Gale. I couldn’t believe they actually wiped the six inches of dust off that painfully bad cliche of the car breaking down on the way to stop the execution. And then had her running down the street! I was laughing so hard, I almost fell on the floor! And then the final tape is delivered inside a stuffed bunny (or whatever it was)! My god, did the filmmakers deliberately try to turn their serious movie into a slapstick comedy???
This movie is so bad that when my friend was recently selling his copy for $5 (why he owned a copy in the first place, I have no idea), I bought it. Not to watch. Not even to watch and MSTK. No, I bought it (a) to prevent other people from ever having to see it, and (b) so that at some point in the future it can be destroyed in hilarious fashion.
That said, I have not yet successfully blocked it from my memory, if only because it always comes up when the topic of “worst movie you’ve ever seen” is raised.
As a former theater manager, I’ll tell you what I told all the folks who wanted their money back after seeing an entire bad movie: my job is to make sure the movie is audible and in focus. The quality of the film has nothing to do with me or my theater chain. You watch movies at your own risk.
And then if they still wanted to murder me, I had our rent-a-cop boot them out.
Hmm… I know what the worst film I’d ever seen was. I know when I saw it. I even remember the fun that my friend (Who had dragged me kicking and screaiming to it.) and I had doing an MST3K on it in the theatre. And were joined in by the other two people in the audience.
The best line of the evening was from one of us four suckers: “Shut up! Noble celluloid died making this film!” With the appropriate little catch in his voice, even. (Yeah, no way a female would go to a stinker like this. They had their own stinkers to see, I’m sure. But definitely not a chick flick.)
I cannot tell you anything about the plot, the actors, or anything else about the film. And I’m glad.
Eye of the Beholder - I’m sorry, would it be too much to ask for a coherent plot? Or even one character I could care about? Apparently so…
The Forgotten - So, these aliens can erase memories, remotely alter photographs and computer records and convince the government to do their bidding… but they can’t wallpaper a room correctly? :rolleyes:
.and we had had enough.
