Let's not let Natalie Portman off the hook. That scene with both of them -- the "I'm only beautiful because you love me so much", "No, I'm beautiful because I love *you* so much!" business -- it had me wishing I had a pen with me so I could stab out my eyes and eardrums.

Nice to know I wasn't alone. I was in a theater full of people, so I had to hold my tongue, but every time it was just the two of them on the screen, I wanted to shout "You're killing me!"

I agree Portman is no Meryl Streep, but she didn't have a lot to do in Ep III besides give birth to Luke and Leia. Lucas is no good at romantic dialogue, but it didn't matter that much between Han Solo and Leia, who were anti-romantic (Leia: "I love you!" Solo: "I know.").

And HOWLING II is nowhere listed. This film is so bad the clip of Sybil Danning pulling off her top is rerun about nine times in the end titles almost as a reward for sitting through this dreck.

Actually, it's seventeen times.

I read somewhere that when the eye-popping Danning first saw the credits in the film's final cut, she was distraught, but I couldn't find anything about it on her official site. I suppose she's gotten over it by now.

BLUES BROTHERS 2000 WTF was up with that?? Most horrifying dreck ever!

Amazing car crash, though. Unless it was all CGI, I have NO idea how John Landis pulled that pile-up off.

It's a shame about Dan Aykroyd, though. He's a full-on UFO moonbat nowadays.

What about "The Neverending Story II"?

One of the few films I've walked out of and I've seen a lot of the stinkers on this list.

***Actually, it's seventeen times. ***

The IMDB lists 17 times but I counted nine just in the end titles alone.

It was on a few nights ago and I personally counted them in the end titles ONLY.

Maybe I missed some. I would check it out again but I would have to set through that dreck again.
