whats the worst movie you ever saw?
I've not seen BATTLE ROYALE or read the novel, but i've heard great things about both. But i reckon it's more about the huge disconnect between generations in Japan. Japan's cultural landscape and value system has been rapidly changing over the years. Further, as i understand it, the youth of Japan today are completely disconnected and disaffected. I imagine the film is about this more than anything else. And, i mean, being similar to anime shouldn't really be a reason to belittle a film. Similar stories often come through different mediums. Loads of live action amerikan films reflect or are at least quite similar to animated films.
ALL ABOUT LILY CHOU CHOU is a fantastic film about this issue. Very intense and, often times, hard to watch.
Maybe you're just missing something culturally?
Where'd you find that one? Netflix have it?
Yeah, they've got all his stuff on Netflix.
Worst film, its got to be between Titanic, Speed 2, or Micky Blue Eyes...
Basically any of those blockbuster films that are just made for the sake of it, bad acting and worse writing, with crap direction...
Also, how can anyone not like Audition? Its an amazing film (not the best of the Japanese films out there, but still pretty damn good)
The people that mind dont matter, and the people that matter dont mind...
This thread should be called "Talk about the movies you hate and let Cassun contradict you."
There is hope, but not for us.
It's really not his fault that people hate some really great movies.
Yes, it is!
thanks for sharing.blackhawk tactical pants.

He's right. The only thing this thread has shown me is that you people don't know what the fuck you're talking about and that your opinions on movies is retarded.
You know what movie gave me gonnorhea of the face?
Nacho Libre.
Shame on Jack Black.
Remove your brain. Place it in the machine. Perpetuate the American Dream.
i stand by the movies i mentioned being terrible

“...There are so many ways of being despicable it quite makes one's head spin. But the way to be really despicable is to be contemptuous of other people's pain. You ought to have some apprehension that the man you see before you was once even younger than you are now and arrived at his present wretchedness by imperceptible degrees.”

Three way tie between:
The Love Guru
Snakes on a Plane
Plan 9 From Outer Space
Twilight.
The Midnight Meat-Train. I thought it was going to be awesome because it was Vinnie Jones weilding a large metal hammer and killing people on a train. No. It was atrocious. Plot twists that came out of nowhere and terrible, terrible acting.
The one redeeming part was when some dude get's hammered and there is a really gory shot of his eyeball flying out of his skull.
This play is an affirmation of life—not an attempt to bring order out of chaos, nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply to wake up to the very life we are living, which is so excellent once one gets one’s mind and desires out the way and lets it act of its own accord. -John Cage
I would've made a better short film, I think.
Cassun, don't bother with the rest of the American version of Funny Games. I found it to be an unnecessary film and the acting was pretty meh. I don't see why he remade the film, the original was just right.
Mirrors was just stupid. There was really only one cool part. The part where she rips her own jaw off. Otherwise... You can die with Reflections not just mirrors. That would be a better name for it.
"Let's Run from the wind!" The Happening was laughable. I can't believe having to run from wind is actually smart... Wait... It wasn't.
The Strangers... I was so bored... A lot of people liked it, I hated it. I can't believe I wasted so much time on that.
They fight the whole friggin movie.. only to give up at the end. WTF?
Apparently it makes more sense if you have the extended version. Unless you watched that one.
Worst movie ever? Gigli, hands down. That was the worst piece of crap I have ever seen. As for recently terrible movies, let's see. Speed Racer comes to mind. That movie was just pretty colors and retarded dialogue. Basically any movie with a rapper in it (with the exception of Redman or Methodman) seems to be doomed from the start it seems. Any of the Fast and the Furious movies could definitely take the cake for worst movie ever. The list goes on...
I know this isn't recent, but I just saw Tank Girl on tv awhile back. That was pretty fuckin miserable, too.
I assume it was a joke to him, because it's clearly his most anti-American Movie movie. This total snobbery amuses me quite a bit.
I thought Drag me to Hell would be the worst movie I saw thisyear, but Year One was pretty fucking horrible. Just not funny, terribly written, not one redeeming quality.
Considering how big the budgets are for some of these movies, it's amazing how they can be so god awful. I would have to say Nicholas Cage in Ghost Rider is the worst I have ever seen, thin, cookie cutter plot, actors who seemed hung over and special effects that wouldn't impress a 5 year old
W.
Most recently, X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
And what I saw of The Happening was pretty godawful too.
"It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream - a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought - a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities."
deep blue sea. a pain in the ass.
I take you home
now watch me get you hot
Don't be talking poopoo about a shark-movie!! >=|
<3
i saw 'i love you man' (well, enough of it) and it was seriously gay. i didn't laugh once. it's a chick flick disguised as a guy movie. putting in profanity and dick jokes doesn't make it any less gay. and stop trying to define what's cool with clever little phrases and references. i hate it when movies and tv shows do that.
Deep Blue Sea belongs in the "Movies that were surprisingly good" thread. Come on, Sam's speech interrupted, the chef survives! The chef?! And he's black!
Maybe y'all are too young to remember classic horror movie conventions, but it broke the rules in small ways and was overall pretty decent as far as killer shark movies go.
The Happening still ranks as the worst movie in recent memory for me.
So...We are still going to die. Right?

F**k yeah! You remember that epic quote from Big L before he blows up the shark?
"You ate my bird!"
"They sold you hippies grunge, hip hop, now liberty activism."
Did Lionsgate really distribute THAT?! Looks like it was shot an an old handicam or something.
Deep Blue Sea was surprisingly entertaining, and I Love You Mean had some good moments. That guy playing his buddy was pretty funny throughout, and Paul Rudd made me laugh, but otherwise completely forgettable. Definitely doesn't deserve to be in this conversation.
Next.
He Was a Quiet Man---Christian Slater's creepy horrible comeback film. I bought it for $3 because I saw William H. Macy was in it. After ten minutes into the movie, and thirty seconds of his goldfish talking to him just like garfield in those movies...i almost lost it.
which reminds me, the Garfield Movies.
SemiPro
Dumb and Dumber er (the sequel)
American Pie Band Camp(never saw it, just assuming)
That Club Dread Movie that the Super Troopers "Broken Lizard" comedy team did made me want to cry. because it was very bad, not because it touched me emotionally.
Fast and the Furious's
----------Moscatello---------
If you just know something is going to be a bad movie and you watch it, i don't think those should be counted here.
It ought to be movies you didn't know anything about or had high hopes for and they turned out awful that get put on notice.
I saw the new GI Joe movie. My childhood has been butchered.
So...We are still going to die. Right?
i would have to say for, "worst" ever...robot holocaust...simply the most grotesquely and wonderfully "worst" movie i've ever seen. or the movie "boogeyman" with the guy from seventh heaven..
Nate, by that structure, Spiderman 2 was easily the worst movie I've ever seen.
funny people was fucking awful

meet the spartans.
it came on late one night on tv and i thought, "how bad could this be?" since i didn't mind 'not another teen movie'.
meet the spartans reeked.
Spiderman 3.
Emo Peter Parker, bad special effects, musical numbers, Venom.
Awful.

Yeah, i'm still pissed about Spiderman 3.
The thing about Spiderman 3 is, Spiderman 2 was sooooo bad, I didn't expect anything out of Spiderman 3, so when it came out and was awful, I just kind of shrugged. But I really enjoyed Spiderman 1, so I was expecting Spiderman 2 to be good or better, and it turned out to be horrible.
i watched the first half of 'i love you man' and it was pretty funny. the 2nd half is still pretty gay though.
you take that back!
So...We are still going to die. Right?
once andy samberg and that guy from tropic thunder went out of the story, it got annoying to watch. the guy who played sidney is weird looking and unfunny. wait, jon favreau was pretty funny throughout. so basically all the minor characters carried the movie.
It's not easy having a good time.
Even smiling makes my face ache.

I sort of liked the game, and I was curious to see how zany it could be.
Curiosity is a bastard.
Actually I don't sit behind a PC, I sit infront of a PC, and if I'm honest I sit at a desk which happens to have a PC on it, not behind or infront of a desk, at a desk.

I downloaded a copy of this like a year ago and never bothered watching it because I just know it's awful, but it keeps sitting there tempting me "Go ahead, I dare ya!" fuckin' movie!
Everyone was talking about how bad The Informers was but I just watched it and it's one of my favorite movies of the year so far. Rivals American Psycho for best BEE adaptation.
"The Warmth of Blood" 30 min Short Film
I was wrong, Southland Tales is even worse. If Buckaroo Bonzai had been intended to be taken seriously it still would have been less ridiculous than this. I couldn't stop laughing for at least 90 seconds straight after the credits came up and I don't think I was supposed to.

Some good points. Let's hope whoever is remaking it in America reads your post beforehand so they can slap on a little bit of depth after they're done with the whole kids killing kids for fun and bloodsport stuff has been filmed.
