The box looks nice, though!

 

DVD Hire shops still exist?

I've not seen it, but really? The worst film ever? Really? I mean surely you've seen something else that was indescribably terrible?

 

Hmm...I might make a thread about films that are GENUINELY terrible... 

 

I would like to put forward "Mega Piranha" forward for the title of genuinely terrible.    I knew it was one of the seriously cheesey disaster/monster films on the Sci Fi channel...   but some of them are quite good (in a laugh & point kind of way).    Loch Ness Terror is one of my faves, and Mega Shark vs GIant Squid was hilarious..    but Mega Piranha had no redeeming qualities what so ever.

2012 was a bit of a shocker and I suppose similar in its approach to effects over substance.  Great special effects but how many near misses can you cram into a film?  And such obvious stereotypes that you know exactly which of the characters will live and which will meet a grizzly end as soon as see them.  Suffice to say, the good ole American every-man family survives.

Hmmm, yeah, they do where I am.  I'll never have Murdoch's Sky, can't get cable and BT vision is a rip off.  Aside from the cost, I have far too much clutter as it is without loads of DVD boxes everywhere.

Slipstream

 

 

Is the most boring, self referential, pretentious, disjointed, unwatchable mess I've ever seen.  Self financed by Anthony Hopkins and it's easy to see why no studio would take it on.  It's an endurance test.  I got totally confused and annoyed in equal measure.  Almost every review of the film concludes that it's Anthony Hopkin's vanity project.

Meet The Spartans was absolute shite, as I expected it to be.

 

 

How many lame boring, pop culture references can they cram into a film?  I can't remember if there was a reference to Sir Mix-a-lot's "Baby Got Back" but it seems like it's the law to reference that song in these braindead films.  It amazes me that people can sit through regurgitated references to youtube memes, Britney Spears, Simon Cowell and Ugly Betty and find those references funny.

But then he thought Inception was good, so I don't take his appreciation of a film to mean much 

 

Inception was an IMMENSE film. I loved it. People who say they don't like it obviously didn't understand it...  *scarpers to the hills*

Gawd I dunno...all I remember was Johnny Depp (who I don't get especially as a pirate), Kiera bloody Knightley (who was more wooden than Noah's ark) and a giant squid in the sea.

 

I fell a kip after that

I liked him in Coming to America, too. Wasn't all that taken with the Nutty Professor. Haven't seen anything else with him in or if I have I've forgotten it.

I love Johnny Depp as a pirate.   Keira bloody Knightly I don't like at all though.    And yeah...  I fell asleep during the sequels to the original film..    they are good to fall asleep to..  like Bond films.
