Worst Movie EVER...and I saw St. Peppers

Do NOT blow your hard-earned money on Sophie Coppola's Marie Antoinette--it was, by far, the suckiest movie I have ever, ever seen--and I've seen some pretty sucky ones.

Movies that were better than Marie A.:

St. Peppers-Yes, the one with the Bee Gees.

Any movie Tom Green has been in--Freddy Got Fingered comes to mind.

Blair Witch Project and BWP II

Xanadu

Gigli

All were better than this indulgent piece of cream cake. Coppola spends actual movie minutes (a long, long time) recording KiKi Dunsts' ennui--which is pretty ennui-inducing in itself--and spends approximately 119 minutes of the movies 120 minutes letting us know how pampered these people were and how much fun they had via scenes of gambling, toasting, eating, dressing, partying, gossiping, eating some more, partying some more, etc. etc.--most movie-goers would get this idea in about three minutes...AND she ends the movie as MA, kids and King are fleeing Versailles with a fast, Mtv-ish blackout. No beheadings, no come-uppance!

Tres awful!
