6 pages, and no-one has mentioned 'Pearl Harbor'?
Also: AI (though the robot teddy bear made me laugh my head off) Independence Day Star Wars Episodes I and II and VI. Anything with Meg Ryan. Anything with Goldie Hawn. Just about anything with Sylvester Stallone Planet of the Apes (the recent one) Pearl Harbor (yes, it was so bad and so long I had to say it twice) Dude, where's my car? American pie (tee hee, he shags a pie!) Lost in space (pretty and vacant and urgh... the memories) Mars attacks Waterworld |

I also liked American Pie because I thought that the way the kids interacted was pretty realistic. Waterworld was just terrible, and I agree totally re: Meg Ryan. Mageth, Yes, Dune blew big time. |

Howard the Duck is possibly the worst film I've ever seen. I can't even imagine what the hell could have been said at the pitch meeting that caused a roomful of otherwise intelligent adults to sign off on this piece of shit. Just awful beyond belief.

Waterworld was on USA this weekend, and we happened to flip by right at the start. I told my husband, "Quick, look, here's the best part" during the bit at the very beginning where the Universal globe logo undergoes the flood. Silly lad, he didn't believe me... until he watched it.

Heaven's Gate (1980)
What imdb says about it: `What one loves in life are the things that fade�' runs the tagline to Heaven's Gate. One can hardly imagine that Michael Cimino; director of the multi Oscar winning The Deer Hunter, loved his career after 1980, because it faded pretty quickly after this monumental flop. Heaven's Gate was an industrial joke, costing anywhere from $35 to $50 million from an original $7.5 million, was lambasted by the critics, made back just $2 million and sunk the United Artists studio. Naturally, it's not that bad. The critical panning was quite uncalled for, but it's still a failure, made worst by the frequent flashes of isolated brilliance that indicate that somewhere in this shapeless slug of a film, there was a slice of cinematic brilliance trying to get out. Istar (1987) http://us.imdb.com/Title?0093278 ****** I remember these being roundly put down by everyone. Heaven's Gate is particular, the term it's going to be another Heaven's Gate was warning phase for years after the fact. |
