[Quiet Man Cometh]

EDIT: at the theater I used to work at, the time frame was 20 minutes after the start of the movie. After that, no refunds. That's also when we stop letting people in.


I would be part of the "never watched Titanic" and "never seen Avatar" clubs, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm not really interested in watching a movie I know is going to end badly, and I read too much fantasy and such to be interested in blue people with tails.

Bad movies huh? Oh, I can think of a few. Front runner though, is Say it isn't So! Not only can I not stand movies where the entire plot is based on people being ignornant and one intelligent conversation would fix everything, but the payback for the badguys in the end wasn't nearly satisying enough to merit having to sit through all the crap!

Got bored with both Jerry Maquire and Wicker Man (Nick Cage, though I heard the old one with Christopher Lee is good). The issue with Wicker Man for me I think was the fact that I had guessed what was going to happen fairly early and then it was only a matter of sitting through the rest of it to see if I was right. I abandoned Twilight too, after some 3 minutes. It was on TV.

As far as bad horror movies go, by which I mean BAD, not so bad it's funny horror movies, Alone in the Dark springs to mind. It actually had potential to start with, but it appears that about after the first half hour or so the budget ran out and they stopped bothering to animate the monsters. Nothing like watching soldiers in mass panic shooting at nothing, and the need to stick the bomb into the open portal through which is coming...nothing. Yay. I really did feel bad for Christian Slater in that movie.

Tail Sting is up there too. Before snakes on planes, it was giant mutant scorpions. Oh no! Trapped in cockpit with scorpion! Must dodge claws...swish...in confined space...swish...stab with pencil...stab. Apparently giant mutant scorpions can shriek, who knew?

Add Megaladon to the pile. I have a thing for shark movies. It's amazing they could pull off a revenge movie with that many dull faced actors and a lethargic cg shark.

And for bad anime for the sake of variety, Golgo 13. Yeah. I don't think I can impress upon anyone adequately the badness of that movie.
