[cite]Posted By: uncle[/cite]District 9 what a load of crap. I was given free tickets to see this film but would have quite happily paid not to. Walked out after suffering about 25 minutes of it
Watched this tonight actually. It works on so many levels - drama, comedy, socio-political allegory... It's a work of genius.

I'm going to watch this tonight and am expecting it to better anything I've seen before in the sheet film stakes. Based on the trailer it has everything a crap film should:
Cheesy stereotypical to the genre plot (horror film with the protagonists being stuck in a strange place by way of their car breaking down) Ridiculous premise (mad scientist wanting to stitch people together mouth to arse to create a human centipede) Stereotypical prejudiced characters (evil character who by coincidence is German) Crap props to hide a low budget (bandages to hide the stitch marks because a make up artist would be too expensive) Awful acting
I never thought I'd find something to beat Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus, but this looks like a worthy contender...
Interview with the Vampire - got free tickets to see it premier at the famous Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. It's the only film I've ever fallen asleep watching at the cinema.
[cite]Posted By: (1984)[/cite]Avatar - utter gash, has the storyline of a (not very ood) computer game.
Totally agree, utter tosh- just looks like an elongated trailer to an old X-Box game that you can't press any button to get to the actual game and are forced to watch the intro film and the intro film goes on for hours and is utter shite.
Only two films I have ever given up on, Blair Witch Project and Cheaper by the Dozen (I normally love Steve Martin but this was awful). Wife dragged me to see 30 days of Night, fell asleep.
District 9 was one of the best films of last year.
At cinema - Air America starring Mel Gibson (being, erm, ker-azy for a change) On TV - Highlander sequel (2 or 3); can't remember which. It was jaw on floor car crash stuff....how can you release something that bad?
Oh, and most 'blockbusters' are crap unless you have a brain the size of a small rodent....
The Hangover is up there for how much it was hyped and how fookin awful it was I walked out of sex lives of the potato men too, Jonny Vegas was queuing to get get tossed off by a man at that point I think Avatar blew my balls of how good it looked but the story was toilet The last terminator film was a let down too

Pokemon - The Movie

Each to their own i guess.
Also "The English Patient" - not the worst film I've seen but provide the least enjoyment per minute spent watching it.

Spot on. If you've seen one car crash/shoot out/explosion/fight... you've seen 'em all.
