As in like, I get there’s really terrible B-movies and shit like Neil Breen’s work that ends up on BOTW, but what’s the worst movie that actually had a decent sized budget and was made by an actual movie studio and maybe even had some somewhat well known actors in it?
The best movie I hated most was Dancer in the Dark by Lars von Trier. It was just so manipulative and depressing that it felt like von Trier was having a laugh seeing how mean he could be. Grief porn…
Possession with Sarah Michelle Gellar. It could’ve been a 30 minute episode of a mediocre TV show.
The 1967 version of Casino Royal had the potential to be a funny James Bond spoof, but it was edited with a chainsaw. Honorable mention goes to pretty much every James Bond movie, especially Die Another Day.
The wicked movies. Especially the 2nd one.
Wonder woman 1984 really is as bad as everyone says. It isnt even funny bad
MAX LORD you’re putting yourself and everyone else in GRAVE DANGER, I NEED you to give me the STONE
Holy, i think i watched at least part of that movie and i don’t remember anything
Youre better off for it
I’m Thinking of Ending Things
I fucking love Charlie Kaufman but god damn I hated this movie. more boring than spooky, like hearing about somebody’s dream. and then at the end the character we’re supposed to be invested in all along doesn’t even matter, the real main character is the drip of a boyfriend. fuck offfff
Isn’t that the whole point of the movie though? The girlfriend changes throughout basically every scene because she’s just a fantasy. I don’t think it was Kaufman’s best work, but I thought it was pretty good.
Playing with the concept of bad “actual movies” Woody Allen’s stuff does not age well at all. I remember people used to speak highly of artistry but the films are suffused with a deep misogyny that convince me that he is guilty of the things he is obviously guilty of.
I think if his halo hadn’t fallen off people would still be talking up his movies and I can’t really see why.
I got a bunch of free DVDs and among them was Van Hellsing (2004)
I didn’t remember anything about it other than the scene where the horse carriage goes over a cliff and then explodes so I thought it’d be funny to watch it with my partner.
Man, this wasn’t even a “so bad it’s good” kinda film, it was genuinely fucking awful. I could’ve forgiven a lot of it but it was waaaaaay too long for what it was. Something like 130 minutes? Could’ve been an hour max.
Runner up: Repo: The Genetic Opera, but I still liked it.
20 years later and I still remember one of the characters falling off a building and through a bunch of trees, hitting stuff on the way down and landing super hero perfect and makeup untouched. So egregious I couldn’t handle it.
a circus-y, renfaire-y ex showed me repo and I was like, wtf is this, this is unwatchable
it was probably at that point that we knew the relationship was doomed
Runner up: Repo: The Genetic Opera
Throwing tomatoes at you for your bad Repo take.
Good movie i really hated was The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover, like I’m usually a massive greenaway-head, I’ve watched a load of his films, but i really just despised it so so much, like he goes for making the film disgusting and it completely works, it’s one of the most repulsive horrible films ive ever watched, by the end I wanted to see Peter Greenaway dragged out into the street and mauled by dogs
Eragon. It was absolute dogshit. I saw it when it came out because my friends and I liked the books (we were young, don’t judge), and while we were expecting trash, it was even worse. Nothing about that movie was good. Total drivel.
In a similar vein, the only movie I’ve every walked out on and demanded a refund for was the first percy jackson movie.
I love Eragon for, if nothing else, the lotr style semi-realistic low fantasy and the literacy arc
American warships
Freddy Got Fingered by far is the worst movie I have ever seen
I feel like it was so bad it crossed back into good.
Does “Daddy Would You Like Some Sausage?” ever intrude on your mind unbidden, even years later?
incredibly often
also, the backwards man
Oh, The Matrix Resurrections. I’m convinced it was deliberately engineered to try and destroy interest in continuing the franchise for as long as possible.
Taken (2009)
Horrendous post-9/11 xenophobia and torture porn
you should [not] check out Taken 3 (2015).
The Season of the Witch, although that might get into B movie territory. But it does have Nic Cage and Ron Perlman. The main thing I remember is that every other actor had a British accent to fit the setting of medieval Britain, but Nic Cage and Ron Perlman make no effort to do so
Only movie I ever left angry was The Hobbit. Never saw the other two.
Most slop I’m fine with. I watched all of the Starship Troopers direct to dvd sequels, even the “one level above Reboot” animated ones. I’ve seen all of M Night Shyamalan’s films. But The Hobbit got me right in the amygdala in a bad way.
edit: Oh I thought of another one: Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Plantasm. The first Aqua Teen movie is a stoner comedy classic along with most of ATHF’s first run, but this film and the tv revival that followed it are dogshit.
Never saw the other two.
Oh the second one is so much worse.
Never saw the third.
Never saw the third.
the third one is by far the worst movie I’ve ever seen
I had suppressed the memory, thanks for surfacing it otherwise my answer would have been something like “Star Wars Episode IX” which isn’t nearly as bad
