I was home sick yesterday so I got to watch a lot of awful movies. Most of them were just run of the mill bad, but MacGruber was so spectacularly shitty that I felt it deserved a place in this thread. Dear Lord what a horrible waste of time and money that was. I did enjoy the "what the fuck am I doing in this movie?" method of acting employeed by Ryan Phillippe. It was about as bad as David Cross in Chipwrecked (shut up, my kid wanted to see it).

So true. MacGruber only worked on SNL because it was in little one minute chunks. A whole movie? No freaking way.

MacGruber also only worked on Saturday night live because it didn't ever get into the scatological humor (which is hardly ever funny at all) and it didn't take arguably one of the less funny actors from a show long past its prime and give that actor 90 minutes to shame himself and anyone else within 3 miles of this picture.
God that movie did and still sucked.

Couldn't sleep last night. Watched the remake of Arthur with Russell Brand on cable. What a joyless, boring, phoning-it-in, badly written film where the lead characters had absolutely no chemistry whatsoever.

I love that movie--I was quoting it just last night... |

Right? I haven't seen that movie on TV in, like, forever. Plus, it makes the remake look like Citizen Kane in comparison.

I have great hopes for the new Ghost Rider and can't wait to pirate it.

Us, too, Bstewart! The first one ranks waaaaay up there as one of the best bad movies of all time -- we got drunk with friends to watch it on DVD and laughed so hard I thought I'd puke. Last week's "Nicolas Cage" segment on SNL was hysterical and summed up what I'm expecting from the sequel: All the dialogue in a Nic Cage film is either whispered or screamed, and everything in the movie is on fire.

I have two words for you, Sunnyhorse: Drive Angry: Shot in 3D. All the usual Cage batshittery, plus Bill Fichtner trying to out-Cage Cage, plus an epic gun battle which takes place while the barmaid Cage is boning is climaxing and he doesn't put down the bottle of Jack he has in one hand and his thrusting isn't interrrupted despite a dozen thugs using every possible weapon against him. Perhaps the best part, though, is that the movie opens with a car escaping from Hell -- Hell is a city-prison and the way out is over a bridge. I mean, duh -- and in the very next scene, Cage drives up in THAT CAR, and then the movie pretends we don't know that Cage has escaped from Hell. I also tried watching Human Centipede II: Full Sequence and couldn't make it through without my lunch coming up. Literally. I have a strong stomach but, man, not so for that stuff. |
