Would this be a good time to bring "Robot Jox" into the fray?

Also, has any one else seen the other Dead Man Walking? Not the classy flick with Suzanne Sarandon and whats his face, but the other one...the really really sucky one with Wings Hauser and Jeffrey Combs. I mean.....i am a huge Jeffrey Combs fan but not even his presence could rescue that film from the deepest depths of suckiness

The Sixth Sense. My father bought the tickets while me and my brother found the parking spot, right? Afterwards, my brother proceeded directly to the ATM and paid him back on the premise that no one should have to pay for someone else to see something that bad.

Probably after the next election (if we have one) and if gwb again manages to rig it so he, ahem, wins.

That is to say, it is an occasion to get stinking drunk and use drugs, or move to outer space...

Sorry, we were having fun and I had to scorch the collective groove by getting political.

Event Horizon was AWESOME!

C'mon!!


The worst movie ever was clearly Blue Streak.

Nobody has mentioned "Freddie Got Fingered." Has no one seen it? I certainly haven't, but anecdotal data indicates one foul, unfunny stretch of film.

I notice that no one has mentioned Attack of the Killer Tomatoes either. Parts I or II.

BrianR and I went to see this in a theater when it was released.

Visually striking, short on plot, and I don't think I've watched it since.

It takes a lot for me not to want to see a movie again.

Hell, I've seen "You've Got Mail" at least a half-dozen times all the way through, plus various chunks more often, through the lovely magic of power rotation on cable movie stations.

I remember it having good atmosphere, great visuals, and some decent acting... up to a certain, discernible point. Then it ran full speed, face-first into a brick wall. The mess of the second half of the movie betrayed the quality of the first, and a movie which was on the path to being a decent sci-fi ended up in cheesy-horror land. What a waste.

OMG...I remember years ago when it came on cable. I saw it in the listings, and thought, "Oh that's the movie everyone hated." I watched it, and I now know why they thought that. It was horrid! It wasn't even "good/bad" (like "Clash Of The Titans"). Oooo those special effects...LOL!

Back when it was open ... yes, Kings Kountry Kitchen was the last name I remember.

The Colonial Theater in Phoenixville (where the movie house scene was filmed) does a Blob Festival every year that I keep missing. They have a commemorative "running out into the street from the theater screaming" to reenact the Blob's attack on their location. My boss (crisis, not commitment) attends every year.
