Going Overboard with Adam Sandler is easily the worst film that I've not watched for very long. Gets 1.9/10 on IMDB.

Guest House Paradiso didn't float my boat.

Also saw something on SyFy the other day called "Mega Python vs Gatoroid", which was unbelievably st on a heroic scale.
I saw 30 seconds of that and found it terrible; like one of those really terrible old B movies!

A dear friend lent me this film, and I thought it was so good I watched it twice in the same weekend:

Sexy Beast



So then he recommended me this film:

The Business



It's basically the same obvious character development and predictable moral thread of the Football Factory, put in the setting of Sexy Beast, mixed with the styling of Vice City, all mixed together to create (what I'd presume is) one of the most poorly conceived films ever made. Although I never watched it my brother told me the protagonist punches a girl in the face at the end before driving off into the sunset -- what a friend of humanity! laugh

There will be one or two people who disagree with this choice, and I am not going to go so far as to say it is a terrible film.

On three separate occasions I have tried to watch Blade Runner, and three times I have fallen asleep.

I've seen that one too, she deserved it for being one of the most annoying characters ever created.

There was a film called "Perfect Storm" which was complete crap. One of only a few films I've turned off midway through because it was that bad. frown

The Hangover. Everyone I know told me it was one of the funniest films they'd seen. I fell asleep, then woke up and turned it off about 3/4 of the way through.

The Devil Wears fking Prada.

Utter dirge that the wife wasted twenty, perfectly good Queen quids on buying.

I would highly recommend that this excremental ejaculation be watched in no - def.

I like TDWP.

It's good at being what it is, a feelgood romantic light-hearted comedy drama thing.

It's like a big packet of fizzy sweets in the shape of hearts - perfectly nice if you want to eat a big packet of fizzy sweets in the shape of hearts. But not much cop if you want a BK Whopper or a steak.

Then you'd be better off with Bad Boys or Dawn Of The Dead.

Chronicles of Riddick and the other one that I can't remember the name of. Both terrible films.

Funnily enough I've sat down to watch it a couple of times on TV and found myself flicking channels instead.

Yes it is. I've done expensive food-analogy research over the years, so I know exactly what films are what.

For example, Saw (the first one) is a piece of liver that looks pretty unappetising but turns out to be quite tasty.

Whereas the rest of the Saw franchise are increasingly out of date pork pies that you just know are made of pretty unpleasant ingredients, but when you do try them they're greasy and horrible and make you feel a little bit queasy.

Especially when you see all that yucky jelly stuff leaking out.

Ew.

I salute you, sir. A veritable Roger Ebert among Pistonheaders. I'm still not going to complete TDWP though. I'm far too curmudgeonly and do not wish to be filled with fluffy thoughts..

I may well get flamed for this, but I stopped watching the Senna film about half way in and went to get a beer. Didn't bother going back to it. Dull as.
I salute you sir, for your honesty and bravery. I will not burn you at the stake, I haven't seen it yet, a mate was disappointed, possibly too much hype and publicity raising expectation too far.

I've just bought, and waiting for the entire GT Racer output myself from the US, for my car porn fix.
It was good, but if I didn't know it was a feature film, I would have assumed it was a Discovery channel documentary, not some super-duper all-insights feature film.

Snakes on a Plane is expected to be a bit rubbish - Deliberately bad but fun in a brain-out way.

Clockwork Orange is supposed to be high art, or a classic of it's generation, from a world-class director but disappoints massively.

No Country for Old Men (Or whatever it was called) you know the one that won loads of Oscars. I probably watched more than 50% but only because the good bit must have been coming soon? nope it wasn't.

Frank Zappa - 200 Motels. I don't want to start taking drugs, so turned it off. This Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas without a plot.
