On a slow day at the office, I like to engage the online community in what I call an afternoon poll. Today I queried: "What is the worst movie you've ever seen and what is the worst movie experience?" I was pleased with all the responses. Highlights from the peanut gallery included for your own office amusement:
FILMS:
*Mr. Bean's Vacation--I don't understand this comedy and thus question it being classified as such.
*The Net-- I quote "so I could make out with my sixth grade crush in the back row" (Could someone please tell me what happened to Sandra Bullock? They've been showing Miss Congeniality on repeat for weeks...is this a search cry?).
*All the Pretty Horses--this is, in fact, a horrible movie...a hetero Brokeback is just not that interesting.
*A Cinderella Story---I am not sure how my friend was tricked into this film outing.
*Cats and Dogs--I was actually not aware of this movie. I am not sure how such a cinematic achievement could have slid past my radar, but a quick imdb search solved that crisis. WOW. This may be the worst movie ever. For further proof: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0239395/
*The Island--ewwww
And my own shortlist:
*Elizabethtown
*Garden State
*Gross Pointe Blank
*Hush
*Deep Impact
*Lost in Space
*Evening
(Okay, these are likely not the worst, but the ones I can think of off the top of my head).
EXPERIENCES:
These were not exactly what I had anticipated. But I did enjoy my friends response re: Gangs of New York screening. He and his friends got thrown out for mocking a woman in religious garb. While I don't condone this kind of shenanigans, my question is why was a fundamentalist seeing Gangs of New York? Isn't it a little too heretical? Am I wrong, but isn't Cameron Diaz playing a prostitute? And isn't Daniel Day Lewis impersonating a butcher? The kind that doesn't pray to the meat before he filets it?
My own worst film outing took place on the opening night of a film we like to call TITANIC. My best friend got violently ill and missed the second-half of the film. AKA when it sinks. Please remember the time in which every female under 18 had seen this film at least double their age number. Not my friend. She has yet to see that old woman drop the rock in the ocean ever.
Alright, back to your livelihoods citizens.
