I didn't mind black knight, it was the same sorta trite he always makes.
D&D was aweful and so was bewitched but only in the sort of crap hollywood churn out movie kinda way.  |

Isn't Bewitched that one which Stweie, from Family Guy, goes to watch and then gets out of the cinema, hails a cab, goes to the airport, takes a plane, arrives in Los Angeles, gets another cab, drives to Will Ferrell's house, rings the doorbell, Will opens the door, Stewie gets a stool, climbs on top of it, and then slaps him in the face for wasting his time?
I loathed D&D, coz I thought it'd be good. My D&D party and me were horrified, and very happy when one of them died at the end. He well deserved it. As for bad films turned good, I always wishe dI'd been with my friends when they went to watch Beowulf (Christopehr Lambert's version). So bad that the whole cinema rebelled and started shouting jokes at the screen and laughing histerically at everything. they said it's one of the best cinema experiences ever.  |

I dunno...Lord of the Rings (the book) seemed very male-focussed to me, too. All the females were these far away idealised types who didn't get a lot of page space. Catch 22 didn't strike me as misogynistic. Yes, the main character treats the female character like shit, but the book doesn't condone it. It expressly shows his immature way of behaving round a woman. And duh, it's male focussed with no main women characters It's about men in an army camp. __ The brickchewing, camera flaunting restroom saint formerly known as Babylon the Bride |

My vote for worst film goes to Baby¡'s Day Out. It's about a baby being kidnappe dby dumb baddies, then baby escapes and goes about New York having "adventures", dodging kidnappers and gurgling in what's supposed to be a cute manner. Think "Home Alone" with a toddler in New York.
I can't objectively say if it's particularly shittier than other shitty films, but I was forced to watch this film 7 times in the space of 2 months: my Uni was on the other end of the country and I'd travel home every 2 weeks for the weekend. Only transport available was a 7-hour long bus. They played films, no headphones system, so even if you weren't looking you'd HEAR the film (quite loud it was too!). Apparently, each bus driver carried one or two films for some time, then change. I'd watch the film on a Friday, then again going back on Sunday. I wanted to die. And I just found out it was written by John Hughes. This is a sad, sad world... |

We saw the version that drove Stewie to such lengths, yes. Well. Twenty minutes and a suicide-threat's worth anyway. I WILL NEVER GET THAT TIME BACK!!!! ------------------------------ You are a Leprechaun. I'm not even sure what you are. Whiskey-soaked reports from your baffling Isle of Ire raise more questions than they answer. Are you a dwarf? Where's your pickax? If you're an elf, why don't you cobble? You'd think with all your gold, you could invest in some land, perhaps a title, and improve your station. Instead, you hide it in meteorologically-determined locations. You're getting killed on inflation, little friend! |

Ok, that's hilarious. You have my sympathies. Worst movies, countdown. #3: Barb Wire. Yes, I've seen that. Before you ask: I was having a huge crush on a friend of my best friend's big brother, and I was prepared to endure anything as an excuse to sit next to him on the sofa for 98 minutes. Or so I assumed before the movie actually started. #2: Lost in Space. I'm sure all the cringing I did caused some internal bleeding. Oh and I actually saw it in a movie theatre! My excuse: it was the only air conditioned space in this horrible little Portuguese town where I was stuck during a heatwave. #1: I now know what my personal hell would be like. It's a smelly old movie theatre in Prague where you're forced to sit in a rickety seat next to your permanently mean boyfriend and watch Judge Dredd. With Sylvester Stallone. And the only reason you're not leaving the theatre is that it's -30 C outside and you know that the minute you walk out that door, he'll start to look for an excuse to pick another fight. So what really gets you is the moment when you realize that watching Judge Dredd is actually better than not watching it. Yeah... that was a bad boyfriend. But the movie really sucks, too.

Thats not my only problem with it, the whole book just pissed me off, the real female thing is just the most easily definable part to the pissing off. I know of very few women that actually enjoyed the book. You and Liz being 2 of them. |

oh, you beat me to it!
I liked it too! although it needed a second reading before I understood it properly (I read it first when I was about 13 and spent most of it trying to work out which war it was  )____________________________________________________ tiny ball of rage. hilarious, condensed rage - Snazz I never really lost my virginity... it just sort of eventually wore off - Chris Addison Um...

One of the worst books I've ever read was a Koontz as well. Something about a guy with prescience. And that was the only one of his books that I ever have or ever will read.
There was also a horrible piece of sci-fi crap called "Twistor" by John Cramer. Worst movie - that's a tough one. "Waterworld" gets a dishonorable mention. I haven't been able to watch "Easy Rider" or "Empire Records" all the way through. As soon as I saw those god-damned hippies throwing seeds on untilled ground I knew it was just a matter of time before I hit the stop button in frustration. Don't really remember what it was about Empire Records that bugged me so much, I think it was the main character. ~ Gal-El You don't have to be a basketball player, you can be the president of the United States. ~ LeBron James. |

I liked Catch 22, but it must be because I'm male
 "The other night I dreamed that King George VI was dead, and that Helen Hardinge had somehow or other got herself proclaimed Queen of England, and that I was detailed to go and tell her that it wouldn't do at all; and when I did this, all she said was, 'You see, I am really Queen Mary,' and I said, 'Oh very well' - words to that effect, and woke up. Last night I dreamed that Eisenhower came to stay with us, and he insisted on being put to sleep in the dog kennel, with a collar and chain about his neck." - Sir Alan Lascelles, 19 February 1980 |

Ooh, Kevin Costner... So many to choose from, so many degrees of bad... The Postman made me want to throw up in previously unimagined ways. Waterworld was awful, but the pseudo-fantasy element was almost a good point. The Postman is just so utterly revolting, clichéd and egomaniacal that I wanted to hur Kevin very, very badly.

Book? well, there's one that i don't even remember what it was called or who it was by, but i actually *Couldn't* read it. not because it wasn't good, but because some idiot had chosen the most REVOLTING typeface for it, one where the gaps between individual letters were almost as big as the gaps between whole words. made my eyes hurt.
movies: "O". the version of Othello. made me cry with how bad it was. D&D i can't put in there because i have a shameful crush (yes, i KNOW) on the lead guy. *blushes, cringes, and runs away from the stoning* i hated the movie, but i own a copy. yes, i know.
