Movies/TV shows which make you go: WHAT?

[mentalguru]

Ever watched a terrible movie or TV show? 'Course you have

Perhaps the very concept of it made your eyes pop out. Now I usually don't like completely judging movies before I see them (but of course it happens), but things like Beverly Hills Chiuaha, or Cats and Dogs comes to mind. (Though a part of me is tempted to see the sequel because of all the advertising I was bombarded with on my trip? I feel dirty. And very suggestible it turns out.)

Also saw before Toy Story 3 trailers for the smurfs... in modern NY in THREE-DDDDD -commentators voice- (WTF?). LOL.

I'm hearing The Last Airbender, a live adaptation to a cartoon I like a lot is tanking but I'm going to give it a chance... with hopes being remarkably low though. To paraphrase another: It's our EIP, it's better than DBZ but damn it anything is better than that. Apparently seeing it in 3D also waste of money- good to know, so i'll just see the regular version.

But... I want my Aang fix... D:, oh I mean 'Ong' <<

But he's apparently not the goofball I'm looking for. I also want Zuko idiocy/dorkiness with Uncle. Stat.

My father will literally consider any movie the best ever made. Even if it's actually the exact opposite, which it almost always is.

For instance, he recently tried to make me watch The Tooth Fairy, a scene with Billy Crystal in particular. I only saw a few seconds and I considered it dumb already.

Still, not as bad as movies with dark messages (i.e. "kill all snakes and snake lovers after watching Snakes on a Plane").

[mentalguru]

I watched Snakes on the Plane once (... on a plane journey... interesting choice I must say...)

It... it's so bad... even disregarding that message.

Seriously.

I think it's practically an internet meme how bad it is and it's weird quotes get thrown everywhere "I am tired of these motherf****** snakes on this motherf****** plane!"

But it is not... oscar worthy. For some it's one of those 'so bad it's good!' things. I'm not sure it's even that.

It made my eyes roll until they were almost stuck there.

[sgtyayap]

Exactly. The worst part is there ARE ophidiophobic perverts who actually LIKE that film. And I'm not exaggerating the pervert bit: "fans" even got the addition of sex in the airplane restroom.

I haven't seen Avatar yet, but I find it hilarious that they pronounced all the names wrong. I still feel for you Airbender fans </3

Ugh, almost anything with live action talking animals is a miss for me. The first Cats vs. Dogs was horrible enough. Ugh.

Oh, and:



Couldn't resist. I loved the Snakes on a Plane hype and it made me laugh for a whole summer. I didn't even see the movie when it came out, but I had a t-shirt XD

[sgtyayap]

Dare I ask how Snakes on a Plane was funny!?

[Bampot]

It's funny in the way that any b-movie is funny: Because it's so ridiculous. This is added simply by the whole idea of the movie and the fact that they don't hide it's silliness even in the name. Even the people who made Snakes on a Plane don't take it seriously. Of course given the movie, I could they?

While we're on the topic of "wtf" movies and TV, let me bring up Teeth. Look it up at your own will. Call me crazy, but I think it's a surprisingly decent movie. I even own it, but mostly because it's a great movie to watch when a few friends come over.

Terrible movie?
Home Alone 4:Taking Back the house.
WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH KEVIN!!! i mean, really?! > KEVIN DOES NOT HAVE A TEDDY BEAR! Why did they just not get the guy who played kevin and let him do it, not some gay looking freak!
it was also very short, shortier than my slideshows I randomly make! I dont understand WHY it was so crappy!

I 've never heard of Snakes on a Plane.. but Natinal Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is ROLF funny, i must say.

Those films are the worst?! No, no, trust me, the worst in my opinion are sadly from the makers of the Scary Movie franchise. I've only seen two films from them which were Epic movie and Stan Helsing...if the franchise of these cheesy parody films started off good in the beginning, they are officially NOT good now! I mean, the whole point of these films is to parody what's popular at the time with no plot unless you count that all they took was mash plots together! Along with that, you can tell that the writers of these have to be guys, these films have more sex jokes in them than any comedy program that I have seen! The only good thing about both these films was that they had a pretty good actor impersonate Depp's character of Jack Sparrow and that the guy who played Jason from Freddy vs Jason plays as the parody version in Stan Helsing (who is surprisingly called Mason...wow, talk about originality). I saw one through Netflix and the other streaming on the net, lucky for me I didn't buy Stan Helsing, was tempted when it was only ten bucks at Best Buy.

If you want to talk about bad, those films are bad, it's obvious that the creators are doing overkill with continueing to release more movies and these movies definitely need to be buried and laid to rest. For the sake of humanity AND our sanity, they really need to stop!

Superhero movie sucked eggs.

In all honesty, I liked what I saw of the first two Scary Movies, apart from the explicit sex. Otherwise, I completely agree about the francises, at least where jokes are concerned.

Agreed. The sex jokes are just too over-the-top, but I like the slap stick stupidity. The rest of their films are just, well, stupid. And not even funny stupid. Although, I am considering seeing Vampires Suck.

The really, really bad thing about "creature exploitation"(or maybe I should call them "phobia exploitation")movies like Snakes On a Plane or Anaconda is that a LOT of people will see them as documentaries, NOT outlandish works of fiction, and will believe the depiction of the animals in those movies as though it were gospel, and will adamantly refuse to accept the word of a real herpetologist if it counters what they see in those movies. I've had people, adults at that, argue loudly with me that Anacondas really DO get to be 50-ft. long and can really move so fast on land that you can't see them and that they really DO hunt and eat people...because that was in the movie and they wouldn't make stuff like that up!

Most of you probably aren't old enough to remember this, but there was a tv show called "Due South", which aired in the mid-90's and starred a young Brendan Frasier as a Canadian Mounty who would up having to serve on the LA(or some Southern Cal city)Police Force in some sort of exchange because he'd violated some rule or another back home in British Columbia, Canada. Anyway, he had this "wolf", which was his protector and companion, which supposedly was deaf after having saved the Mountie's life by leaping into a freezing river to pull him out, and the sudden cold supposedly ruptured the wolf's eardrums(never mind that ruptured eardrums DO heal, quite rapidly I might add, having experienced that particular displeasure myself more than once due to inner ear infections). This "wolf" was supposed to read human lips and sign language, and was quite at home in SoCal, although it was supposed to be a wild wolf. The REAL "WTF" part about that though, was that the "wolf" was, of course, played by a dog...actually SEVERAL dogs...of several VERY different breeds, so that its appearance would change dramatically from even one SCENE to the next, let alone one episode to the next! In one scene it might be a white German Shepherd(which of course looks NOTHING like a real wolf), then it would be a RED Siberian Husky with blue eyes, THEN it would be a fluffy white Samoyed, THEN it would be a huge black and white Alaskan Malamute, THEN it would be a red Japanese Akita Inu...all within the course of a single episode! I think there was one episode where it actually WAS a wolf, for a brief instant, and then it became a regular black-and-tan German Shepherd or an Australian Cattle Dog(forget which one). In one scene it was actually played by a tan mutt with floppy ears! Often, especially in later episodes, the writers would forget that this "wolf" was supposed to be completely deaf, and would have it respond to sounds like gun shots or Frasier whistling to it from a distance as it stood on a ridge with its back turned to him, and of course the "wolf" was utterly fearless and would always show up and attack the bad guy like a well-trained police K-9(in those scenes the "wolf" was usually played by either a German Shepherd or a Belgian Malinois, a real Schutzhund/police-trained dog), going for the arm and wrestling the gun or weapon away from him and of course, scaring the daylights out of him, nevermind that a real wild wolf would be absolutely terrified of a person with a gun. It would infuriate me that the show's creators would expect people not to notice at least all those different dogs, even if they didn't know the breeds or they couldn't tell the difference between a real wolf and a Husky or a German Shepherd, especially when you'd see like, 5 or 6 different dogs in a single episode that were all supposedly the same animal!
