Yesterday I saw the 1999 movie, The Suburbans on the tube. It was supposed to be a comedy and I thought it might be funny because Ben Stiller was in it. How wrong I was. It was beyond horrible. It turns out that the nobody actor, Donal Lardner Ward, in the lead role also wrote and directed the movie. Fortunately almost nothing has been heard of him since.

So as a public service, please list the WORST movies you've seen in the past year so we know not to waste our time on them.

Disliked Atlas Shrugged 3; I thought the first 2 were pretty good, considering the miniscule budgets and completely different casts! But #3 was just awful.

Disliked Jersey Boys..not a BAD film, but way too long.

Oh it was bad. Very, very bad.

The Hobbit was unnecessarily horrible. It was more like a video game than the novel. The only bright spot was the actor who played Bilbo nailed the character.

I heard some talk about this film being the worst ever, this is an part of a user review from IMBD. 887 out of 965 people found the following review useful:

I have now seen Mr. Tommy Wiseau’s cinematic tour-de-force, ‘The Room’ three times. With each viewing, ‘The Room’ becomes more complexly entangled in and inseparable from my own life. I no longer know where The Room ends and I begin. It is, without question, the worst film ever made. But this comment is in no way meant to be discouraging. Because while The Room is the worst movie ever made it is also the greatest way to spend a blisteringly fast 100 minutes in the dark. Simply put, ‘The Room’ will change your life. It’s not just the dreadful acting or the sub-normal screenplay or the bewildering direction or the musical score so soaked in melodrama that you will throw up on yourself or the lunatic-making cinematography; no, there is something so magically wrong with this movie that it can only be the product of divine intervention. If you took the greatest filmmakers in history and gave them all the task of purposefully creating a film as spectacularly horrible as this not one of them, with all their knowledge and skill, could make anything that could even be considered as a contender. Not one line or scene would rival any moment in The Room. The centerpiece of this filmic holocaust is Mr. Tommy Wiseau himself. Without him, it would still be the worst movie ever made, but with him it is the greatest worst movie ever made.

The whole “Atlas Shrugged” trilogy sucked, but it went from bad to worse to horrible in each succeeding release.

I’ve almost completely quit watching movies because they are so uniformly boring, shallow, and trite.

The real entertainment action is in TV series from non-network channels and foreign countries, much of which can be gotten at only by streaming from Netflix or the like.

[dfwgator]

I discovered viki.com and KDramas.

“Peter Jackson stretched a small book out into about 9 hours of nothing.”

What??? You mean you didn’t like 9 hours of continuous “epic” CGIed battles of Orcs being turned into Orcburger?

“Sharknado 2”

yeah, S2 was SO bad it wasn’t even camp. I laughed my ass off at S1, but probably only about 30 seconds of funny in S2. Fortunately, I’d recorded it and skipped all but the 30 seconds worth.

[Mears]

Birdman.

[Night Hides Not]

S3 will likely be worse...Mark Cuban is going to play POTUS.

[tophat9000]

think in the mindset of a person living in New York City

So I have to rap myself in the head about 30 times rapidly with a ball peen hammer?

[Safetgiver]

Obama- The End Times.

Jack Ryan

_________

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit?

That one movie goes a long way to explaining why Russia hates the West.

[SomeCallMeTim]

I pity anyone who could sit through all of BLENDED.

[stylin19a]

u r in luck. He’s bringing Zoolander back....

[catnipman]

I have a solution for bad movie-making: all movie houses MUST provide a full refund upon request for any patron walking out of a movie before it is half over.

You’d be surprised at how suddenly great movies would appear!

Disliked Atlas Shrugged 3;

I liked AS3, if only because they finished the trilogy. Wasn't a big fan of the casting, Joaquin de Almeida was way too old for Francisco.

I understood why the focus was on Dagny and Galt, although it was at the expense of the evolution of Hank Rearden.

Unfortunately, there's way too much for less than 5 hours of screen time. Hopefully, the TV series will allow for greater character development.

I dug the conversation between Hugh and Dagny at the vineyard. It offered a lot in a short span of time.

One of the worst was The Great Gatsby. The story is set in 1922, yet the characters drive around in cars from around 1929-1930 and dance to modern-day disco music. Although the film did feature a couple of tunes from the 1920's, they were from the latter part of the decade.

You had to see (and hate) Moulin Rouge first, to appreciate Gatsby.
