No trust me.. Blow Dry! I'd rather go through Sudanese nipple torture than watch that movie again.

Please quit wasting our time. You shot your mouth off about a film you haven't seen, so shut up until you can comment about it intelligently.

It was ok IMO, but I liked Slacker better.

Yes, it was pretty clear in the OP that the whole point was to nominate movies that you hadn't seen, but that you suspected sucked big donkey balls. John will then watch them and let us know it they're as bad as we feared.

Could if be any clearer? This is why so many people have nominated Gigli.

I nominate Spice World. I shudder and break out in a cold sweat any time I even think of watching it.

The number of posts that express opinions about films seen seem to outnumber those that express expectations of films not seen, but I must agree that this tangent runs counter to the intent of the thread. My apologies to anyone who was offended / annoyed by my earlier posts. In trying to forestall the continuation a boring series of exchanges, each lamer than the last, I seem to have caused an equivalent series of the same.

I nominate Mean Machine.
My parents rented it a couple of nights ago, and anything they rent must be shite by law and by custom.

I'm just glad I don't live with them anymore, being forced to watch 'A Shaggy dog story' was traumatising. I'd nominate that one, but it's pretty hard to find.

Edit: Shaggy is banned, but shite isn't? C'est tre bollocks.

I'd have to go for Spiceworld as well.

If we were including things I've seen, then I'd have to nominate Pearl Harbour.

Why is it that so many of the movies listed star people who are known in other fields? Nobody has mentioned Madonna yet, but she has an entire block of movies of which any one could be argued as the worst film of the year it was released. Glitter, Crossroads, and Gligli all feature people who are better suited (loosely speaking) in other fields.

That's ok - I assumed that you ignored my semi-long list of movies.

I thought you were getting a list of movies for a poll later (thought I read something about that earlier in the thread)

If I were to choose one movie it would narrowly be Battlefield Earth (though the others make it very close )

I'd never even heard of it before, but now I've read a review of it, then it just has to be Gigli.

POTC - Party Of Tyler's Crew - indie flick.

Depp's not in that. Even the cast hasn't yet seen the final edit. We'll be reviewing it later tonight at the producer's house.
