He never did anything hardcore though. ---

True, but even without the hardcore shots, _Caligula_ is one trashy movie, and McDowell is neck-deep in the sleaze. ---

> [@TriPolar](#): > > The only reason I can understand Dogville not being mentioned is that mercifully people did not watch it. I watched it. Hated, hated, _hated_ every minute of it. Then again, I’ve got friends whose opinions I respect who think it’s a masterpiece, so I guess it depends on what you like. And I actually quite liked _Valerian and the City of A Thousand Planets_, so maybe don’t pay too much attention to my opinions 🙂 My vote is for Dirty Grandpa, btw. Absolute toilet of a movie. ---

Absolutely, it is an April Fools joke and a very good one. It made me think of the first time I watched _Forgotten Silver_. So well done you keep forgetting that it is not serious. ---

You misunderstand. Those great actors worked on a serious film titled _Caligula_. Then, after they went home and cashed their checks, Bob Guccione, publisher of Penthouse, shot a bunch of hardcore porn scenes and inserted them (!) willy-nilly (!!) into the finished film. So literally none of the name stars knew what they were getting into. ---

So the scene where Hellen Mirren was applying semen on her face was quality cinema, but the clip of the slaves ejaculating into the pan was snuck in? ---

Yeah, _StarDog and TurboCat_ (2019) was IMO way worse than _Boss Baby 2_. But by far the worst movie I ever saw was _Fred: The Movie_ (2010). 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. > **[Fred: The Movie](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/fred_the_movie)** > > When the girl (Pixie Lott) of his dreams moves away, a teenager (Lucas Cruikshank) embarks on a journey to find her.
