The stupidest movie ever!

[Klaus]

I was forgetting one:

Wild Wild West.

Not even Salma Hayek's butt saved this one...

I am simultaneously pleased and saddened that someone else - multiple people, in fact - saw fit to mention Redneck Zombieshttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093833/combined.

Seriously. Even as a joke, it makes me wish harm upon the filmmakers of Biblical proportions. A plague of locusts . . . IN THE ASS . . . sounds about right.

 

[Vamprey]

Yup thats right up there at the top for me, along with the 1999 Sci-Fi version of Beowulf starring the very same Chris Lambert.

Oh man, I had managed to forget about that movie. Thanks very much for reminding me that I wasted 2 hours of my life watfching that. Well ok about 15 minutes it was just to bad to sit through.

For me The Core, Anaconda, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, Escape from LA, Commando with arnie, and Volcano with Tommy Lee Jones are prime cantidates and from my list of movies that I hate that others seem to love for some reason: Troy (only Eric Bana made this at all passable) & Pulp Fiction (argh to horrible to even describe and then people went around quoting it and dancing like JT for ages)

Sorry, but no one here is allowed to badmouth Pulp Fiction or we'll have to collectively get medieval on your ass.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes was great. It was a no-budget spoof of bad no-budget sci-fi movies and I think did a good job with it.

Other than that, I have to agree with you. I didn't HATE Pulp Fiction but I wasn't as crazy about it as a lot of people.

Au Contraire! The main reason people didn't care for 2 and 3 was that they did watch them with their brains off- and both movies are extremely "brains on".

I found them neither entertaining as pure action flicks (because most of the action was just ridiculously stupid (with few exceptions mostly from 2)) and I neither liked what they turned the story into.

I think it was exactly the philosophy part that ruined them completely.

I know lots of people who say they like Willow. For the life of me, I never know how they figure that.

It was a nice movie. Not great, but surely not bad. Not compared to some of the other crap put on screen.

Bye
Thanee

(Someone on this thread ridiculed The Second Renaissance- they've gotta be out of their fleepin minds! That was the most terrifying twenty minutes of animated footage I've ever seen in my life... the sheer feeling of desolation at human stupidity, the Buddhist imagery, the machines as protagonists... wow...)

Well Human stupidity is a good description of the Second Renaissance. Why is it that no body ever seems to think that making disposable machines sentient, is a really stupid idea? If you know you are going to be shovelling them into junk heaps, then why, why, why would you make them so that they would object to this? Then there's that bit about "machines being less vunerable to nukes", ah, ever heard of EMP? You know like they were using against the machines in the movies.

 

[Felix]

ever heard of EMP? You know like they were using against the machines in the movies.

Yep. That storyline, while interesting in places, had less "holes" as such, but rather the plot streched over GREAT FATHOMLESS CHASMS that while you were going along had to repeat the mantra "Do not look down" or you would be sucked into what some call "creative license". Bleh.

But yeah, Matrix: Reloaded has the Best Car Chase Ever.

Here's one answer: its metaphoric. The robots are stand-ins for (disenfranchised) peoples, 'robot slavery/racism' = 'real slavery/racism'. Plus, its a thought experiment. How will we treat the ulitimate Others --say robots or aliens? Like we did to our fellow human beings?

It doesn't make literal sense, but that isn't the point.

And while I too have problems accepting sentient toasters in SF, the question 'How can we be so stupid' can be asked of many real human endeavors. Consider our nuclear weapon stockpiles...
