Can we re name this thread to "two boring dudes debate about a Jodi Foster movie"? ;)

It light of this thread and coupled with a parallel interest of late in bad movies I started to watch some AWFUL B-movies on Netflix. I think one or two sentence reviews will do these gems well...

The Stuff - "Well, sometimes you gotta eat shaving cream sometimes." That's an actual quote.

Terrorvision - Swinging parents, 12 color 80s hair wigs, crazy nam grandpas, and aliens make this amazing.

Children of the Corn - That Issaic kid was 22 went this film was made. That's hysterical.

We could, but people would be disappointed by the lack of Jodie Foster debate in the thread.

So bad that it's hilarious under the right circumstances.


I love the classic B-Films, Exploitation/Grindhouse flicks, Drive In shows, and Late Night Horror-thons.

I even have tons of notes about many of the Distribution companies of the 60's and 70's as well. A huge interest, along with Martial Arts spectacles.

A Worst Movie has to be boring, soulless, and very cut and paste. Most of the stuff I watch is at least jaw dropping crazy.

Well I don't know. I enjoyed all parts of Toxic Avenger, laughed at "Sgt Kabuki Man, NYPD" but 2012 made my brain hurt. I like movies that are so bad they are good, but this one is just plain awful. Emotional crap, no logic and a the writers took a huge steaming dump on physics in general.
Come to think of it, remember the one where they drilled to the center of the earth to plant a bomb that will stop whatever was going to end civilization ? Or the one when it suddenly got so cold helicopters for once didn't blow up mid air and simply fell down ? I feel physical pain when I watch crap like this, but it might be just me.
Yac.

Yeah but I think of movies like that as more mediocre, and I think that's an even worse sin than being bad. Like I have no problem admitting that Troll 2 is a bad movie, but despite that the actors tough it out and that gives it an enduring quality, couple that with the hilarious dialog and acting and you have a pretty watchable movie. Conversely, take a movie like Transformers 1, 2 or 3 and you have a watchable movie, but it's incredibly soulless, littered with product placements, and very generic. I think this is why people can be so hard on those types of movies, because they have the financial backing to be interesting movies, but in an attempt to appeal to the widest possible audience, the film is robbed of anything to say because it's been so diluted.

I dunno, I mean I can see how comparing Troll 2 to Transformers: Take Your Pick is kind of a strawman's argument, but I strongly feel that, while both movies are awful, at least Troll 2 is memorable in its horribleness, whereas the latter is just... totally forgetful, to the point where I stopped thinking about it the moment I left the theater.

Has anyone else seen The Room? I can't stop laughing after seeing it for the first time.



Oh hai Mark!

^ Yep. DC even made this thread about it.

The flower shop scene is my fave. "Hi doggie"

In the so bad that it's good category. I have to nominate Flash Gordon. I definitely need to re-watch it but from what I remember when I was younger. I loved it but probably for different reasons that I would today. It is definitely a campfest.

Inception and here is why:

it's a dream within a dream within a dream.

i call that overreaching.

The Green Lantern was also pretty awful and so was Angels & Demons.
Tom hank's haircut looks so weird and the plot is the same as the Davinci code only with more conspiracies..

I disagree on Inception and Angels and Demons. Both very well done movies.

Green Lantern was a steamy pile of dung, that we can agree on.

Yeah that is crazy to slag off Inception. You may not personally like it but to objectively say it is one of the worst movies ever gtfo.
