I had just seen World’s Greatest Dad, and saw God Bless America was from the same director, so I figured from the description it would have that same kind of dark but kind of grounded humor. I was so god drat wrong. That movie is garbage.

World's Greatest Dad is really good, and I could barely get through the trailer for GBA.

So in RPO the movie the first of three virtual reality quests to unlock Elon Zuckermusk's golden ticket is a race across a shifting version of New York City that apparently nobody has been able to complete ever, including the evil megacorp with a literal slave farm of players at its disposal until the protagonist deciphers the incredibly subtle and well-hidden clue hidden in the main programmer's personal biography, "Why can't we go backwards for once? Backwards really fast, as fast as we can – really put the pedal to the metal."

The worst movie I've seen was Gymkata (the THRILL of gymnastics, the KILL of martial arts), but the thing is if you go in knowing it's terrible, there are things to appreciate about the movie. An actual world-class gymnast, doing some things in the movie that at the time he was the only person capable of doing them, and the village of crazy people was absurd but had some nice thematic creepy camerawork. Nothing fit with anything else, and the Eastern European xenophobic country that didn't allow any outsiders in the last hundred years needed to explain their princess with a "by the way her mother was Indonesian" aside, but I liked it and would watch it again. Garbage movie, though.

In college a group of us decided to go see Ultraviolet in theaters and I think that's one of the few movies that actually made me angry over how bad it was. Like there's a difference between "bad but mindlessly enjoyable I guess" and something that bewilderingly fuckawful. The entire theater was dead silent, nobody laughed, nobody was whispering to each other, and when it was over everybody in the audience got up and left as quickly as possible.

I don’t consider movies like The Room or Fateful Findings to be the worst movie I’ve ever seen because they’re still so baffling that they become entertaining. To me a movie has to be just a total boring slog in order to qualify. Something like Birdemic or Movie 43.

I was hoping for more stupid B movie fun like Equilibrium, but that’s another one where the director couldn’t deliver. I also haven’t watched Equilibrium in like 12 years because I think it wouldn’t hold up to what I remember.

Seriously, so many people I knew gushed about that movie when it came out and when I finally got around to watching it my reaction was "seriously? This is supposed to be good?" And nowadays if you want to watch a movie full of slick, stylish gunfights you can just watch John Wick which does the whole thing a bazillion times better than Equilibrium's terrible excuse for fight scenes.

Worst movie I've seen in the cinema is trickier because for the past seven or eight years or so I've gone to the cinema maybe twice a year on average, and before that I just don't remember everything I'd been to see (even before that, I didn't go to see everything). Based on the impression it made on me at the time (I was 15 and probably even less discerning than I am now, if that's possible) the worst is probably The Golden Compass. I think that's the first time I ever sat in a theatre watching a movie and thought, "This isn't very good.  " Usually when I come out of a movie I'm thinking about what I liked and the things I didn't think worked need time to percolate in my mind, but that one was the first one I came out of thinking, "I feel like I've wasted my time." It left enough of an impression on me that even though I haven't seen it in the 11 years since it came out, I can still remember what I didn't like about it.

Soul Glo posted:i've been binging the punisher on netflix. is this accurate to the books? The TV thread would have more info for you but short answer is not really, no. Most of the more widely renowned Punisher runs like Garth Ennis' are much more hyperviolent, almost grindhouse-y in places, where large parts of the series' are spent watching Frank mow through armies of goons with a dour expression on his face, and generally more focused on street crime like the mafia and gangs (with the occasional dip into something different like corrupt CIA agents or a special forces team) as opposed to PMC goons like the TV show. The show's a much slower burn with a lot more focus on Frank's own damage.

Worst movie I saw in a theater is a tie between Valarian and Tomorrowland. I was going to say Battlefield Earth, but I went to that expecting it to be bad so we could laugh at it. A guy tried to give us Scientology pamphlets in the theater. So I was thinking about how Whedon saying he had no story for Batgirl is very clearly a cover for some new terrible thing, or just he's a rat trying to escape the DCCU. Like how can you not have a story? Batgirl of Burnside felt like it was made to be adapted. Like have her decide she's tired of being a superhero in Gotham and decides to go back to school and be something other than the girl who hangs out with Batman. Though once she gets to school, she notices something hinky going on, which draws her back in. Have the villain be Poison Ivy who's Pam Isley, botany student. Oh and Nightwing guests.

Back in college I got dragged into one of those Epic movies and that’s easily to worst thing I’ve seen on the big screen. There’s bad movies, there’s boring movies, then there’s the poo poo beyond poo poo that was those string of movies.

Samovar posted:Forty days and forty nights. God, this reminded me of another movie that has the same gross sexual assault mindset, Senseless, where at some point the MC has some of his senses disabled - it's a bad movie, just go with it - and his ex(?) is feeling him up against his will and he's telling her to stop and she only does when she reaches down his pants and he is flaccid. She leaves in disgust and the Love Interest walks in sees him there and the usual lovely movie misunderstanding scene happens. Don't remember the details but pretty sure he has to apologize to her for that too.
