Alright, who voted for number 1? That saddens me.

Any of the original three, honestly, but I voted for Empire Strikes Back.

I've found that despite owning some of my favorite movies, I don't seem to watch them much anymore. It's kind of depressing.

I don't watch a whole lot of TV. Occasionally, I'll scan Comedy Central for stand-up or South Park, and I watch The Daily Show every so often. And every so often my roommates and I will end up watching some random National Geographic special.

Oh, and baseball. Always baseball.

Hm... my DVD collection is rather small. Dogma, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, Bruce Almighty, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Waking Life. But everyone I live with is currently hooked on someone's several seasons' worth of the show Nip/Tuck.

Sure, the title may suggest a technical degree in plumbing maintenance, but this thread is about the worst of the worst. If possible, worse than that.

Let's hear the worst movie you've ever seen. You need to have seen the whole thing, and not just bad as in "I didn't like it". It has to be godawful, with cinematography that would make the makers of the Blair Witch Project cringe. It has to be laughably pathetic in its attempts to be taken seriously enough to make a profit.

Thus, I start the discussion with the bomb Shark Attack 3. I haven't tried the first two, though I believe they're just as bad. In fact, my fellow dorm-mates made a game of it, which communicates just how horrible it is. Basically, you get a point for any of the following:

-Scenes where the shark growls
-Scenes which use stock footage
-Bad computer graphics
-Scenes where you can tell that the boat they're on isn't actually moving
-Scenes where the stunt doubles and/or crew are obviously present
-Bad dubbing (there was a lot of this, since the entire thing was dubbed... apparently the all-Bulgarian cast could mouth English and Spanish, but not speak them)
-Every time the "hero" pushes the boat past full throttle
-Every time the shark changes size (particularly between stock shots)

...there were more, I think, but you get the idea. Who else has witnessed gems such as these?

Well, just finished The Thin Place, by Kathryn Davis. Excellent book, very convoluted.

Quite, quite dark, in fact... but awesome nonetheless.

Whoah... didn't expect something like this to draw so much anger. Sure, BoA doesn't have many "twirling the curly evil mustache as the attractive woman is tied to the train tracks"-style villains. That's probably a good thing, really.

Heck, if that's the villain you want, then Kharprev from DoK wins, hands-down. :P
