(...) For me, Mars Attacks suffers from too much Burton, but that's just a function of my elsewhere-articulated non-fondness for the man's directing. Still, I give it props (yo yo yo, check out my mad skills re: hiphop linguistics) for being (...) (20 years ago, 25-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) This is one of those goofy movies that if you take it seriously at all you'll just hate it. It's one of those bad movies that I enjoy. I find Mar Attacks hilarious, but most other people just absolutely despise it. I suppose you had to be a (...) (20 years ago, 25-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) I'm not talking about contradictory plot points, but contradictory themes. It's like watching a comedy series and catching those occassional tear-jerking episodes that make deeply profound statements...but without all of the funny episodes to (...)

(...) I'm sick of trying to make sense of the Bricklink Brouhaha - and so what do I do? Talk about things that made me sick. The ones you mention are all awful, but I never actually paid to see them in a theatre. I'd rate at least the first two I (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, FTX)

(...) Oh, my opinion of that film goes well beyond that tiny little point. I was twitching during the song-and-dance routine, my eyes were drawn to Gary Oldman's hideous costume like it was a 20 car pileup, the "perfect woman" badly needed (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) I like The Fifth Element, though I accept that it's darned goofy, and the "love is the answer" bit *is* pretty weak. Wing Commander--good call. I didn't see that one in the theater, but you're right that it's a major stinker. If I had to list (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

What's the worst film that you ever saw in a first-run, full-price theater? Or, if you can manage it, how about the top five worst? Here's my list, in ascending order of foulness: Superman IV Striptease Robocop II Highlander II Howard the Duck I (...) (20 years ago, 23-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
