Worst film ever?

The Passion Of The Christ. Hours and hours of Christ wandering around with a cross looking a bit mardy.

That film made me cry soo much. I'm such a wuss.
I know this is gonna upset my other half as well as loads of urbs but I thought Bladerunner was shite!!!

Popeye...I took some kids on a playscheme to see it and started poking myself in the eyes with discarded lollysticks for light relief it was so dire...it was Robert Altman too.....

then there are films so bad they achive cult status for being the worst, plan 9 from outer space is great comedy.
 
Casino Royale :mad:

The product placement was just....cheap really, love story....was just weak really, all the excellent reviews its has had......wrong clearly!.

Methinks the good reviews & the backing of major companies was possibly linked?!?!?! ;)
 
Get rich or die trying

example scene:
50 cent kills, like, 20 colombian gangsters coz he wants their business. Cut to fiddy sitting by a roadside looking pensive as a voicover comes in: "I had it all, but somehow, something was missing...". Poor lamb!

Why?, is it a complete impossibility they could be linked? :confused:

Yes, it's a stupid assumption to make that only conspiraloons give weight to.
There are plenty of good reviews on the net and on this site anyway.

Nearly every big budget Hollywood film has product placement these days, most of them don't get rave reviews and you are getting a bit tiresome pushing your "theory".

This years remake of The Pink Panther featured product placement by: adidas, Apple, Axe, Chanel, Citroën, Dell, Gretsch, Holiday Inn, Kodak, Lion King, McDonald's, Montblanc, MSN, Newsweek, Nextel, Nikon, Perrier, Philips, Piaggio, Pilot, Post-It Notes, PPS Publications, Renault, Smart, Star Magazine, T.G.I. Friday's, Toyota, USA Today, Viagra, Virgin, Volkswagen, Waldorf-Astoria (link)

The critics hated it. As did everyone else.
 
I think Utopia may be right - look at the shockingly blatant product placement in Supersize Me and that got rave reviews. There's something sinister afoot.....

Ah - been scrolling through to see if anyone had already fingered thisun before I added it.

Seconded. Unbe-fucking-lievabley bad. Shit 'concept' (I'm not going to deign to call it a plot). Acting that makes you want to reach down your throat and pull out your intestines in order to be able to strangle yourself to get away from it. And the 'twist' at the end: this it not a spoiler - coz there's nothing to spoil - 'he woke up and it was all a dream'. No, really, it was written by your 6 year old cousin.

And the lying posters didn't help "Blair Witch meets Jaws" indeed.

The Blair Witch reference being to the shit camerwork rather than any spookyness.
 
In early nineties my other half and I went to pictures after working in a pub on a Saturday night. The only film still to start when we arrived (about ten past midnight) was The Ladybugs starring(?) Rodney Dangerfield. Film about a young girls' football team in USA.

We were the only ones in the cinema - after 15 minutes of the film we knew why - it was total shit !!!

That film with Sigourney Weaver and the talking gorilla was pretty bad.

The gorillas in the Diane Fossey biopic Gorillas In The Mist weren't talking. I think you are mixing this up with Congo, which didn't star Weaver.

Good fun for spotting known Brixton faces though...my favourite bit was during that awful slapstick scene with the rubber chicken on Atlantic Road, in the background, the old lady from the newsagents on Coldharbour Lane was pissing herself laughing.

The young girl in it - the only one who could act, IIRC - is our office manager :)

she's a TAD embarassed.

Worst thing about SW9 is that it's such a missed opportunity. it could have been alright - they'd done their research, drafted in the locals, got some real events tied in.

And then just totally fucked it.
