Seen those posters on the tube for 'Movie 43', seen its all-star cast? Wondered why aside from those posters that proclaim it hilarious and show us the incredible cast, you haven't heard hide nor hair of it?
Well wonder no more, because the film has been released, and immediately nearly everyone who's seen it is kicking up a stink.
The film consists of various short movies, acted out by its A-List stars, with a tendency towards gross-out humour as is to be expected with Peter Farrelly involved in direction.
The amazing cast includes Hugh Jackman, Gerard Butler, Richard Gere, Jason Sudeikis, Liev Schreiber, Seth McFarlane, Kate Winslet, Kate Bosworth, Halle Berry, Naomi Watts, Emma Stone, Uma Thurman and Anna Faris, but the movie hasn't been press screened, nor promoted and its apparently with very good reason.
Lou Lummenik for The New York Post wrote: "Well, if you mashed-up the worst parts of the infamous 'Howard the Duck,' 'Gigli,’ 'Ishtar’' and every other awful movie I’ve seen since I started reviewing professionally in 1981, it wouldn’t begin to approach the sheer soul-sucking badness of the cringe-inducing 'Movie 43,' which has been dumped on an unsuspecting public without advance press screenings."

modern Hollyweird is where:
creativity equals - using dialogue that has more foul language per minute
creativity equals - using foul language dialogue that is more foul than before
creativity equals - using more foul language for the sake of using more foul language, period
creativity equals - leave nothing of violence to the imagination - more blood, more guts, more souless truly evil charaters commiting horrendous violent acts
creativity eqauls - showing horrendous and detailed bloody violence for the sake of showing horrendous detailed bloody violence
creativity equals - leave nothing related to sexual intimacy to the imagination - more full frontal nudity equals greater creativity; more detailed up-close viewing of initimate sexual acts equals greater creativity; increasing how many characters in a script are involved in sexual intimacy, on screen, equals greater creativity - in essence, anything that constitutes more “sex” equals greater creativity
creativity equals - more “sex” for the sake of more “sex”
creativity equals - increasingly rob childhood of it’s innocence more by continually putting more sexually suggestive language into movies marketed to children and putting more sexually suggestive language into more child characters in all movies, and continually lowering the ages of child characters who demonstrate an interest in or an intimate knowledge of adult sexual intimacy
creativity equals - more “sex” for more kids
[add your own additions of the obvious ways in which Hollyweird substitutes the coarsening of society for the creativity it does not have]
Hollyweird has morphed the idea that “free speech” meant that certain things COULD BE SHOWN on occasion, to the socially demeaning idea that EVERYTHING MUST BE SHOWN all the time, everywhere and in everywhere possible; that just because free speech makes it POSSIBLE, that means it is NEVER to be left out, and NOT LEAVING IT OUT is what MUST BE DONE.
Hollyweird celebrates the likes of Quentin Tarantino, and the Hollyweird community ranks him as one of their top directors - he, a man who writes and directs movies from the mindset of a violent sexed-up raunchy 13 year old boy (a phase the adult Tarantino never mentally grew out of).
We’re not the only ones who are taking hits in this economy. I’ve seen semi-retired actors, big name actors, doing commercials, tv, lousy movies in an ever increasing rate for the last four years. And yet, they continue to rally around the narcicist in the White House as they sell of their expensive cars, properties, etc.... I don’t get it.
““I’d call it, The Aristocrats.””
Now that’s funny.
I loved Kentucky Fried Movie. Another good one that came out around the same time was Groove Tube. Some funny stuff.
Dorthy Provine...yum!
Some other movies the critics really hated, but the public liked:
The Passion of the Christ (49% rating)($612m box office)
The Last Airbender (6% rating)($132m box office)
Patch Adams (23% rating)($135m)
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (19% rating)($131m)
My money for worst film ever is Scott Baio in Zapped. Pink Flamingos starring that great thespian Divine comes in close second.
Nobody emotes like Statham....
Watch any “ROAD” movie by Hope and Crosby or any Martin and Lewis movie and you will see real subtle comedy.
Yes. Leslie Nielsen was actually funny.
From the trailers, it sounds like a remake of Mel Gibson's "Payback".
I tried to watch Poe earlier this week. I’m a fan of bad movies but this one was so bad it gives bad movies a bad name.
Usually I will watch a bad movie all the way through but this one I stopped after 15-20 minutes and 3 or 4 seemingly unconnected scenes.
In Cinerama, that must have been cool when the fire truck ladders were spinning out of control.

Or the old Alec Guinness movies.
Classics.

whats wrong with Armegeddon???
It was the dumbest thing I've ever seen. It's less a movie and more a 2 and a half hour trailer for itself. I love big, dumb action movies because they can be fun. But I actually felt that in Armageddon's case, the filmmakers were intentionally trying to insult me. It's like they were telling the audience, "Hey, here's a big, loud movie that has Bruce Willis saving the world, and it makes no sense. But you're going to like it because you're an idiot."
