The discussion centers around opinions on various movies, highlighting a general dissatisfaction with recent film releases. A viewer expresses disappointment with the acting in "Pulse," claiming the original was significantly better, and notes a trend of poor movies this year, including titles like "Date Movie" and "Scary Movie 4." While some participants find humor in certain films, like "Scary Movie 4," others criticize them, along with remakes and sequels, suggesting a lack of originality in Hollywood. Films such as "Little Miss Sunshine" receive praise, while others, like "Lost in America" and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," are deemed unwatchable by some. Nostalgic favorites like "Time Bandits," "The Princess Bride," and "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" are defended, showcasing a divide in taste. The conversation also touches on the appeal of bad movies, with some suggesting that films can be enjoyable if they are so poorly made they become funny.

I went to see pulse in theaters today, someo of the worst acting I have ever seen...The priginal was 100x better

then again, most movies this year have sucked unimaginably...:frown: (date movie, scary movie 4, etc.)

I have also recenty come across cheerleader ninjas, don't watch that movie, it sucks

i haven't read the whole thread so maybe this has been mentioned already, but you should check out "A Scanner Darkly"

I saw it in theatres just a few weeks ago, and its the first movie in a long time that I thought was truly artistic.

On the lighter side Clerks 2 and The Ballad of Ricky Bobby are both absolutely hilarious =)

Yikes, if you put the two of those in the same sentence, that changes my thoughts about seeing Clerks 2. I can't even stand the trailer for Ricky Bobby.

Worst movie I've ever seen: Six Days, Seven Nights. It was boring, formulaic, and cheesy. Any one of those things by themselves can work in some contexts, but together they make for a very painful viewing experience.

Worst movie I've never seen: Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows. That anyone would think of making a Hollywood sequel to this movie is a testament to how stupid they really think we are. It's like they totally misunderstood the appeal of the first movie.

I liked a lot of the movies mentioned in this thread, though. How anyone could dislike Monty Python and the Holy Grail is beyond me.

'Tis a mystery! I had taped "The Life of Brian" and loaned the tape to friends, and was shocked that some of them thought the movie stunk. It is one of the best things that the Pythons have ever done. It's not quite up there with "Blazing Saddles" or the sublime "The Bank Dick" IMO, but it's pretty close. If you have never seen "The Bank Dick" with WC Fields and Shemp Howard, you're in for a treat.
