I'd go so far as to say that in trying to achieve camp, a la the 1966 model Batman, it fails badly.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-30504944067031022132009-04-21T11:47:00.000-04:002009-04-21T11:47:00.000-04:00Lolita: It wouldn't surprise me if that person doe...Lolita: It wouldn't surprise me if that person doesn't even know who Tarantino is. I'm not so sure that the common horde would endorse Lord of the Rings as unanimously as you expect. There'd probably be votes for Star Wars or Titanic in there.<br /><br />Hobby: Are you declaring Spy Hard the worst or merely citing it as a really bad film? Just curious.<br /><br />Crhymethinc: You demonstrate that people can operate with more than one standard at the same time. Any sensible spectator has one rule for more "literary" movies and another for "bad" ones. More mundane moviegoers like the respondents to the Record survey apply a single standard to every film, and it often isn't a good standard.<br /><br />Finally, Rev. Phantom knows whereof he speaks. He's been posing Cannibal Mercenary in installments at Midnight Confessions, with commentary. I've gotten as far as part five, and looking at that bit alone may convince you to agree with the Rev.

I haven't watched a Tarantino film since. I wouldn't say it's the worst or even badly made, I just find that, as I grow older, movies that rely on a high rate of violence or gore usually do so by sacrificing story, plot, script - all the things that make movies interesting to me.<br /><br />I couldn't really say what the worst film was - since I have a habit of seeing bad films. The Ring would be in the running though. The premise was just stupid. Howard thd Duck is one of those movies that is so bad it's just good. C'mon - beastiality featuring Lea Thompson with a sentient duck? How can that be <I>bad</I>?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-51729930761549358572009-04-20T23:15:00.000-04:002009-04-20T23:15:00.000-04:00To each their own, or so it would seem.

Nielsen's interpretation of Quincy Magoo got raked over the coals by advocates for the disabled, among others, upon the film's release, as memory serves.<br /><br />A later Nielsen film, "Spy Hard", with Andy Griffith, is much, much worse. I'd also add "Howard the Duck", but that would be piling on.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-19434230942033445202009-04-20T19:48:00.000-04:002009-04-20T19:48:00.000-04:00People who say movies like the ones mentioned here...People who say movies like the ones mentioned here are the worst movies they have ever seen, obviously are not "into" movies. My comeback to someone saying Pulp Fiction or even Lords of Flatbush are the worst movies they have ever seen would be "You haven't seen very many movies then."<br /><br />BTW, Cannibal Mercenary is currently climbing the charts as my choice for worst movie of all time.
