"Sunshine" - Hands down the worse film I've seen in ages.

Hell, this year we already have had Uwe Boll's In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale and Paris Hilton starring in The Hottie and the Nottie So I'd say it's going to be a good race next year at the Razzies.

The Hottie and the Nottie is still something that makes me want to crack open Paris Hilton's skull so I can see if there's any actual brains in there.

And that's just from reading the plot summary; plot being horribly abused in this sentence.

LOL yeah i'm not eating up brain cells going to that. oy.

[his-spiffyness.livejournal.com]

Oh, there are brains in there, but I expect her appendix is a slightly more useful organ for her.

Some people's brains are kind of like an appendix -- present, but not used for much of anything....

joe says "there will be blood" was the most boring thing he's seen all year. in the theater anyway. not figuring in workplace power points, or the list of nominations would be so long as to require.... a power point.

[singingpatient.livejournal.com]

oh yeah and I'm a wimp so i want to give a special razzie to whoever rated cloverfield PG13. shoulda been R. too disturbing. i literally ran out of the theater when it was over. can't wait to avoid the sequel.

I didn't personally witness it, but my friend msgeek got it up to the neck with Bee Movie. Not only did the plot make no sense to her (how would bees know how to fly an airplane?) but the Traditional Dreamworks Animation Finale, with everyone gathering to sing an old pop tune, drove her out of the theater.

I haven't had that bad an experience since I left halfway through Clueless, went to another theater in the multiplex to pick up a few minutes of Judge Dredd, and left that too.

Worst excuse for fiction being dressed up like a documentary: Explelled

That one also gets the "Really, I thought you were smarter than this, Ben" award.

[gardnerhill.livejournal.com]

Wow. "I Know Who Killed Me" is like the "Return of the King" of crap! Clean sweep!

[palenoue.livejournal.com]

Do they give any credit to the studio execs who green-lighted these movies? I mean, it's one thing for Paris Hilton to star in a movie, and another to say "Hey, what a great idea! Let's spend millions of dollars to make this and ignore all of those well-written scripts and talented people who want to do movies that are worth seeing."

They should get special awards all for themselves.

[his-spiffyness.livejournal.com]

I believe Paris also produced Hottie so this was an ego trip through and through.

[palenoue.livejournal.com]

Okay, that happens when you're rich and stupid, but what about the others? There should be a special award for producers (and executive producers, associate producers, etc.) who continually make these disasters. The stars shouldn't get all of the glory.

[his-spiffyness.livejournal.com]

Well, the best picture Oscar traditionally goes to the producers anyway. I'd guess the worst movie Razzie would go to them as well.

[wormquartet.livejournal.com]

Gawd. I hate seeing talented people fall the way Eddie Murphy has. Ah well, we'll always have SNL best-ofs...

The sad part is that Murphy was frickin' brilliant in his dramatic role as James Thunder Early in DREAMGIRLS last year. Who remembers that portrayal, when NORBIT essentially hid that performance under a pile of Divine-like dog crap?

Worst career move that poor sod ever did was when he decided to do happy cuddly Disney famwee films, and then misogynistic fat-phobic "comedies."

[hitchkitty.livejournal.com]

"Oh, look. Eddie Murphey's doing a movie where he dresses in fat-face."
"Yes, and in other news, the sun rose in the east this morning."

[dan-ad-nauseam.livejournal.com]

I'm still wondering if Murphy is still speaking to the execs who scheduled Norbit to torpedo his Oscar chances.

Frighteningly, Norbit was up for the makeup Oscar this year. It lost.

[judifilksign.livejournal.com]

Murphy's Dr. Dolittle did little for me, talking of Murphy badness.

Well, there's always that piece of shit "Meet the Date Movie's Epic Movie Movie" that gets rereleased every January.
