BAD movie

Before it's even thought about, NOBODY can do the Three Stooges except for the Three Stooges and nobody should try. But I'll have to say that they guys that made this movie, did about as good as could be expected from anybody. And they did include a lot of the gags. I'll have to ask my brother if he ever saw it. He is a reknowned Three Stooges scholar and the world waits for his opinion.

I'm a big Three Stooges fan and, when I first heard that there was a film coming out, I was annoyed that they would even attempt such a thing. I didn't have high expectations going into it. That said, after watching it, I think the three actors did a really good job of capturing the "essence" of Moe Larry and Curly. I could have done without the Jersey Shore kids and the "baby scene" in the hospital but they did include all the classic gags...and, before we judge it too harshly we should remember that the original Stooges had a few cringeworthy films themselves - like "Men In Black" and "Violent Is The Word for Curly."

Poor Richard Harris......

Richard Harris was a GREAT actor. I felt rally bad when he had to take role like in 'Tarzan' and 'Orca'. Those were really awful roles in really awful movies. He did revive his career in great style with Dumbledor in Harry Potter, and 'Unforgiven'.
 
NOBODY knows....

Killing time before check in for the delivery of our second child mt wife and I went to a movie titled "Howard the Duck" Worst movie ever made. I was afraid it would affect our soon to be born daughter- I know it made me dumber.

NOBODY knows what that movie was supposed to be except perhaps the people that made it. I like weird movies but this wasn't even weird in an entertaining way.
 
3D is greatly improved over what it used to be......

Sometime in early 1980s, I was in Pittsburgh visiting my friend while he was a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University, somehow he got a couple of free tickets to see the movie "Jaws 3" in 3D, so off we went, beside us, there are only 2 other people in the cinema , I'm not sure the other 2 paid for the their tickets or like us, they have free tickets. Honestly I've seen some pretty bad ones in my time, like "Twins" with Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenegger, (wife insist to see it) do not watch "Jaws 3" even it's free, the time you spent can be use for other much more profitable pursuits, take my words for it.

They are actually watchable. That being said, I've never seen a 3d movie that had anything better in it than the 3d effects.:(
 
Pulp Fiction, you have to accept......

You have to accept that Pulp Fiction is just what the title says, a seedy, low rent, cheap novel for kicks of the same type.

With that. I liked it. But again, I like weird movies

The dance contest

The OD scene where Uma Thurman wakes up with the needle in her chest.

Jules ambiguity over quitting the rackets and quoting scripture.

Bruce Willis not throwing the fight and killing the guy

He and his really cute girlfriend ready to leave town, but he forgets the watch.

Accidentally shooting the guy and the the 'Wolf' has to clean up the mess.

The car wreck that ends up with Marcellus saying, "There ain't no US"


Now as much as people raved about 'Reservoir Dogs', I hated it. It was a bunch of nothing. Tarentino has a long history of really crummy movies.

The only Coen Bros. movie I didn't care for was 'Barton Fink'. I've only seen a few but all were great. 'Fargo' was my fave. (See my signature below)
 
Troll 2 (There was no Troll 1!):

"Although produced under the title Goblins, United States distributors were skeptical about the film's chances to succeed as an indie film and renamed it Troll 2 in an attempt to market it as a sequel to the 1986 Empire Pictures film Troll.[2] The two films, however, have no connection, and no trolls are actually depicted in Troll 2. The film's production was rife with difficulties, largely revolving around the language barrier between the Italian-speaking crew and English-speaking cast, and producer Joe D'Amato's approach to low-budget film making. The resulting film has come to be evaluated as one of the worst ever made. "=Wikipedia

The cast were complete amateurs=the male lead was the local dentist in real life and they had to shoot around his appointments. Scriptwriter spoke no English. I heard it grossed less than $300 opening night. Now a cult classic.
 
making a flick on little money is a separate art form.
i just saw THE MOLE PEOPLE. a bad movie to you.
but, director vogel did a lot with what he had.
 
Right now, watching "Mr. Billion"

Watching this right now- One of those movies that's just so bad you just keep watching, thinking it can't get worse, then it does! Obligatory car chase, RR crossing, cattle ramp, jump through empty flatbed, almost immediately into Demolition Derby, etc. etc. YIKES!!
 
I had to think about this for a while...

The movies that my wife and I ridicule the most are "Dante's Peak" and "Money Train".

An earlier post mentioned "Natural Born Killers", and I'd have to list that one up near the top of the list, also.
 
As I’ve posted before, my fav numb movie is Tremors.
Micheal Gross and Reba are pretty well gunned up!
There are several Tremors sequels which start off pretty good and then trail off into the abyss.
Not sure why they are still making them.
I guess as long as they make money they’ll continue making them.

For those who love bad movies, subscribe to HBO. Ratio of bad to good is about 50:1. Most of the HBO movies are so bad I really wonder who was stupid enough put up the money to make them. That's why I don't subscribe to any of the movie channels, I only watch them when they have "free weekends, which seems to be about every other month. And most of the time I record only those few which sound like they may be interesting. But I am usually disappointed and quit about 10 minutes in.

My nominee for the absolute worst is "Beast With A Million Eyes." Everyone just talks about the alien beast for most of the movie until the last few minutes when the monster finally appears. It looks like something designed and built by a third grader, probably an afterthought to justify the title.

The "Bewitched" re-boot with Will Farrell....

I had the misfortune of sitting through this mess only because I was on a Southwest flight at 32,000 feet...If I could have gotten a parachute from the flight attendant I would have taken the chance...
