Universally agreed terrible film(s)

[maxi]

The New World? No it's been reappraised now, everyone agrees that it is officially rubbish.

Hey you wrote a really long thing it looked really interesting and now it's disappeared!

Vice City radio though

Rescue your thread Rich, they're all talking about horrible Barty music again.

I'm coming... I'm reading through as fast as I can!

The couples therapy ones are usually derided:

Brangelina's By the Sea
Beniffer's Gigli
Guy Ritchie and Madonna's Swept Away

But none of us have seen them, so who knows?

I have seen that first one, it's been on here a couple of times. It's kind of like... just nothing at all, like if you stay in a Holiday Inn and it has some cheap reproduction of some incredibly bland abstract art. Someone could say "you know that picture in your room?" and you wouldn't know what they were on about, so maybe they would come to your room and point at it and you would squint a bit and stand in different places and eventually you would see it. I don't know if that counts as bad in the way I mean.

Talking of Farrell, Love, Actually should be in for a shout on this thread, but everybody loves it.

I didn't even know he was in that.

Ended a relationship due to their love of

Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) ⭐ 7.1 | Comedy, Drama, Romance

I respect your commitment here, I don't think I've ever ended a relationship due to poor taste.

 

[IdleRich]

Would you be angry if I said "yes"?

Not angry, I just think you're making a surprising category error.

Everyone seemed to hate that new Cats film.

Movie 43's notoriously bad too, so much so that it spawned conspiracy theories.

 

[maxi]

Yeah that's the one with dozens of A-listers in it and there was definitely something dodgy like they were all blackmailed into being in it or something

 

[IdleRich]

Yes, but is it a

Universally agreed terrible film(s)​

No it's not. If someone said, say, that X is the 4 Qeddings of football players you wouldn't know if they meant that he was the worst player or the most stereotypically English or the twee-est or what you were getting at overall.

 

[IdleRich]

Now you're associating me with the film. That's a mistake. I'm simply saying that your hatred of the film blinds you to its universal popularity. In your anger, you have killed the younglings.

Younglings is recognised as one of the worst ever coinages (is that the right word?) isn't it? I've never even seen the film but I've heard that line referred to many times. It is very funny, I'm gonna start using it.

It's amazing. It just came into my head, probably because somebody was talking about the Star Wars prequels in the thread.

Doesn't really fit in but this was a good story about a rubbish uma thurman movie https://www.theguardian.com/film/2010/mar/26/uma-thurman-motherhood-flop

"On its debut Sunday, box office takings were £9, meaning one person bought a ticket."

they didn't even bring a friend

All the dialogue in those films is spectacular. I don't know how they all got through it. The CGI looks revolting too -- and, bizarrely, because it really wasn't, cheap.

They even used CGI for the fruit on a table,

They've actually got a Star Wars fandom page specifically for fruit,

Fruit

Fruit always tastes nice when it's ripe. But it can't stay like that. Every nice piece of fruit will rot on the branch if it hangs there long enough.Glen Taffral Fruits were a popular type of food in the galaxy. They were eaten raw or cooked in dishes and were considered a treat and a priced...

Fruits were a popular type of food in the galaxy. They were eaten raw or cooked in dishes and were considered a treat and a priced delicacy during times of war. Fruit contained seeds and grew on trees. A much loved dish was jogan fruitcake, which called for the main ingredient, jogan fruit, to be both baked in the batter and used as a topping. Fruit could also be dried and eaten as a snack.

 

[IdleRich]

Also, I'm not talking about stuff made exclusively by young people either. There are older people who've made stuff I like who I'm running into the same problem with.

I think that if you watch films from loads of different genres and times and then, after a lifetime of doing so, you notice that the films you liked best were mainly old (say 70s) ones and then conclude that the 70s was a better time for films than now, then that does not mean that you are getting old and disillusioned.

Is everything on the website in past tense because it was 'a long time ago in a galaxy far away'

I love that they have a Behind the Scenes section for fruit, also sections for appearances and non-canon appearances.

The fruits appearing in the scene where Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala are dining in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones include a pear, a pineapple, an orange, and a starfruit.[source?]

Among the fruits Rey is eating at Takodana Castle in Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens is a Fuji apple with Romanesco broccoli protruding out of it. The bowl of fruit sitting on Maz's table include a horned melon and a sweet granadilla.
