As I write this, The Saint is on television. If it doesn’t get a LOT better soon, it’ll be my nominee. ---

Man there are so many: Lately, my friends and I agreed that (im gonna get flamed for this one) The Messenger was a happy crappy load of smeg. We decided we’d rather watch our $8 burn than actually watch it again. Batman and Robin: Oh lordy. “One size too small. Makes me look shlimmah!” And a movie I got the honor of seeing at the director’s guild in hollywood… A Simple Plan. Everyone laughed at it, and most of the people who were watching with us _worked on the movie_. It was just stupid people doing stupid things to make the movie more stupid. ---

“outside providence” very boring and i especially didnt like the fact that they kept saying “from the writers of ‘theres something about mary’”. they should have not included that. ---

I agree with _Heat_. If Scorcese had done it instead of Mann, it would have rocked. Who wants to see a 3 hour long episode of _Miami Vice_? I probably missed it in the thread, but has anyone mentioned _Star Wars: Episode 1_? On sheer disappointment value, this one sucked Jar Jar Binks’ big, slimy, floppy ears, then went back for seconds. Another godawful movie was _Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country_. I think it was part 5, but I’m not sure. It was directed by William Shatner, who should stick to what can only loosely be defined as acting. Ughh! ---

Sure, I buy into the concept that intentional low-budget stupidity disqualifies a contender. (Or conversely, a big budget, A-list actors, etc., are required to qualify.) And on that basis, you gotta at least give a thought to Speed II (unless you want to disqualify sequels, too.) sh ---

Mission to Mars and Star Wars: The Phantom Menace were both AWFUL. I have never walked out on a movie due to general principals, but those movies were HORRIBLE. It makes me sick to THINK about them. Random Hearts wasn’t too great either. I really made an effort to “Get” Magnolia, but I didn’t. ---

That horrible movie w/ Matthew broderick and the air force Chimps. We actually walked out. Only time. I predicted the ending and was right on. I liked Star Wars Episode 1. So there… The Conqueror with John Wayne is a clasic turkey My prediction: Battlefield Earth has Golden turkey written all over it.
