A toss-up between “Bounce” and “Awake”. Two films my wife chose and she continues to apologize for choosing them to this very day. ---

I truly like the worst movie ever made, which is of course the Nick Cage remake of _The Wicker Man_. From the bear suit to Cage beating up little girls to magically appearing beehives, it’s hilariously funny almost all the way through. ---

Land of the Lost movie. I swear anything Will Ferrel touches should automatically go into the toilet. My favorite tv show as a kid turned into this piece of crap. ---

I heavily and thoroughly and quite negatively deconstructed _Avatar_ and _Children of Men_ in the (overall positive, especially the latter) threads that followed their releases and haven’t changed my position on either. ---

Are kid’s movies eligible? If so, I’d like to nominate one of the offerings my kids have discovered on Netflix in the past couple of years. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you… the [Bratz Babyz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bratz_Babyz) series. And yes, that’s really the way they spell it. It is utter garbage, even by the (admittedly low) standards by which you would judge low-budget kid’s crap. The animation is laughably bad - well, not \*laughably \*bad because that would imply that it’s entertaining on some level, which it’s not. The dialogue is inane at best, and incomprehensible at worst. The voice actors all have ear-splitting unpleasant voices, with non-matching singing voices for the questionable musical numbers. The plot, well… good luck finding it. It is such a miserable excuse for entertainment that I have actually spent time searching through Netflix’s settings to see if there’s a way to delete specific movies from the kid’s menu. ---

_Liquid Sky_ is a gawdawful sf movie about the Eighties NYC punk club scene, about an alien vampire who kills people by drawing off their life essence when they have an orgasm… or some such nonsense. Urrrrrk. A ridiculous plot, terrible acting, awful music and ludicrous dialogue. I saw it once in college and remain deeply scarred to this day. I hate, hate, _hate_ this movie - still my all-time most-loathed movie.

When the butterflies come on the screen your sposed to stand up and sing the song, then sit down when the turtles come, but a lot of kids dint sit down and the grown-ups dint stand up because they were texting.

> [@casdave](#): > > The Green Beret - John Wayne puts down his six shooter and picks up a M16 > > Its a move made by a self confessed arbiter of US patriotism to justify the Vietnam war and rattle the sabre. Similarly: _Big Jim McLain_. John Wayne plays an investigator for the House Un-American Activities Committee, who goes around Hawaii defeating communism by punching it in the face. It is literally a movie about how the Bill of Rights is bullshit. Actually, a worse movie than that would be [The Conqueror](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFzL7nDME_c), an historical epic in which John Wayne plays Genghis Khan. Not necessarily the worst movie over, but it is the worst piece of casting ever. John Wayne was a great actor, but not an actor with a lot of (or really any) range. Every line he says is hilarious. The dialogue is all flowery and affected, but Wayne delivers every line in the same “Well, pardner” drawl that he always uses. Really, click on the link. ---

Actually, although I agree that _The Conqueror_ is terrible, and John Wayne horribly miscast, I have to object to people to whom the very _idea_ of Wayne playing something other than his usual gruff cowboy is a mistake. I only recently learned that he starred as Ole Olsen, a Swede, in **The Long Voyage Home** , a film directed by John Ford (who directed many westerns with Wayne). It’s based on a series of short plays by Eugene O’Neill, and was quite a departure for both Ford and Wayne, who had to speak with a Swedish accent. The film wasn’t a success, but it was nominated for multiple awards, including six Academy Awards (including Best Picture). It won the New York Film Critics Circle award for Best Director. So, yeah, the Duke _could_ act – he wasn’t always playing himself. And he could pull of an accent. ---
