Ok, I just saw mine. I love the films of Lars von Trier - Breaking the Waves, The Idiots and Dancer in the Dark in particular. The performances he dragged from Emily Watson and Bjork in the first and last of this trilogy are quite remarkable and led to a hatful of awards and nominations for both films and actors. So when ASDA offered me Melancholia for four quid... ...I really should have resisted. It's two hours of complete sh*te, graced only by Charlotte Gainsbourg's flawed, angular beauty and the spectacular on-screen debut of Kirsten Dunst's amazing breasts. The script is ghastly, the acting stilted and the special effects straight out of season one of Star Trek - the director appears to be absent for long periods of the film and the editing seems to have been done by a five-year-old with a machete. Avoid at all costs. So what's the worst film you've ever seen?
I'd heard really good things about Melancholia too Tewks... No Country For Old Men. I really wanted to love it but the ending was just dire. It ruined Tommy Lee Jones for me too. Shocking.
True Identity. A film in which Lennie Henry pretends to be white by using make up and mockney. Quite truly offensive, and more laughs can be found watching kittens being mutilated in a meat grinder. I have stopped using Premier Inn Hotels for fear of getting stuck in a lift with this boring, banal, one joke pony.
That said I was told this is awful but watched it over the Weekend. It's amazingly amazing. Watch it! [video=youtube;He_PWsJqsVY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He_PWsJqsVY[/video]
Why have you seen the twilight series? Jumper Absolutely shocking film in my opinion, had a good idea but was badly put into play..... would never watch it again
anyone with a girlfriend has probably had to sit through these types of films. to be fair, part way through number two at the cinema i did start playing scrabble.
I have 2 since getting one of them cineworld cards (ive never been to the cinema so much!) But the worst I've seen since getting it...darkest hour, a film that has such a good trailer and such a terrible film, rubbish plot, poor acting and just didn't make sense at times! ...that and sex lives of the potato men...so much fail!!!
ooo, Unlucky, luckily my girlfriend saw them before getting together with me >< sounds like I missed a bullet
Battle Los Angeles was pretty grim. The one and a half minutes of good stuff was all in the trailer. Just checked out the Dunstian hooters. Very impressive they are too!
Yes, there was just the merest hint of them in the 'kissing in the rain' scene in Spiderman. Some things are definitely worth waiting for.
Space craft made from hub caps, aliens covered in tin foil, random footage cut in from other films and Bela Lugosi's last, sad, ignominious appearance (to be replaced by an actor a foot taller - as if no-one would notice) - Ed Wood's finest (?) hour. If you get a chance, check out Johnny Depp's biopic of Wood, absolutely brilliant.
One of my favourites, Ted although it wasn't so much edited as thrown up in the air and reassembled in the order in which it landed.
Well, me and my housemate spent too many hours last year watching god awful Z films. So there is quite a list. However, if you mean worst "proper" film.....I'd have to give it to shadow run. I feel sorry for Michael Caine for starring in it. It was simply atrocious. It was mind numbingly boring, horrificly unrealistic, awful character devlopment + plot, along with the worst subplot tacked on the side I've ever seen. Who thought it'd be a good idea to have a subplot about a fat choir boy in a film about gangsters?
Love it! I watched the first one primarily to watch 'RPatz' and 'KStew' play off each other, having been drawn in by the hype about their 'on-screen chemistry'. I lasted about 50 minutes. I have to say that Stewart is about as insipid a lead as I've ever seen, how she's supposed to be able to inspire anyone, let alone a centuries old worldly-wise vampire, to take passion-driven, life-changing decisions is entirely beyond me. Totally bloodless.
You should see this, typical - fine film, funny but with a kick like a mule. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watermelon_Man_(film)
CONTAINS SPOILER "Are you gonna get the killer Tommy? Are you gonna track him to the ends of the earth? Are you gonna gun him down in a hail of bullets before expiring heroically in the arms of your loved ones?" "No, the hell I am - I'm gonna go one better, I'm going to...I'm going to...I'm going to...retire." Eh? The Coen Brothers have never been able to finish a film properly - Blood Simple, Fargo, Burn After Reading, Barton Fink, they all just fade off screen, largely negating some of the tremendous stuff that's gone before. In fact, the only film I can think of that didn't fall over at the end was True Grit, and that's because the ending had been written for them thirty years earlier.
