I love to hear about really bad things, so i wondered;
What is the worst:
1. Book you have read
2. Song you have heard
3. Movie you have seen

My opinion is:
1. Annie goes to the doctor, a child book with bad pictures and kiddyporn (OK, not exactly, but she walked around without a shirt!)
2. The very famous song by "Las Ketshup", i don't remember the name but they sing something like: A sele he he he a sonalona sale les kona bona la henalena blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah.
3. American Pie, all too childish!

1. A Seperate Peace- There's just something about a long drawn out, boring, and highly meaningless story about a homosexual dude name Gene that just makes me want to go out and play in traffic.

2. My Sacrifice- While there is a very very long list of stupid really stupid songs I've heard, I chose this one, cause throughout all of the incoherant, inconsistance lyrics, the dude never once said, or even hinted at, what his sacrifice was.

3. Final Fantasy: Spirits Within- This movie was completely unworthy of the Final Fantasy name. They had no magic and the plot was unbelievably stupid. "Hey, let's go pay $7.50 to see a movie about some spirits who kill all living things they touch and then become not evil." That ranks right up there with that one movie where this giant moth was supposed to kill some evil giant insect. And a giant lizard came to help, but the giant moth turned on the lizard and sided with the evil insect. There are just too many stupid movies out there.

Worst book? Hmmmmmm. I would have to say Lord of the Flies stands a good chance and so does any other novel that the school system had managed to force upon me.

Worst song? Anything by Metallica, Marilyn Manson, anything heavy metal, and almost all rap music.

Worst movie? Hmmmmm. I would have to say that A Clockwork Orange ranks rather high in the list as does the movie Signs. I thought it was boring.

ACK!!! I feel drugged!! I should have diluted the cocaine better. I think I got the solution numbers wrong. Sherlock what is wrong with you today? Ooooh! I see dead people.

Worst book - "Necromancer", written by Gordon R. Dickson. The book wasnt so bad, but the translation was awful.
Worst song - I´d say everything rap.
Worst movie - "The Cell", that was true bull****

Worst Book: And Then There Were None, Agatha Christie. The woman wrote like a monkey on crack.
Worst Song: My Heart Will Go On, or anything else Celine "I'm Canadian" Dion has perpetrated upon an unexpecting world.
Worst Movie: It's like asking which of a series of painful penis clamps you prefer.

Any 'teen' book. The small, about 100 paged ones, with an idiotic story.
If I have to read one (only out of boredom, I assure you), usually when I'm done with it, I slam it around, swear at it, call the writer a bastard (and an idiot), scream that they are losers at writing and should leave the job for those that can actually do it and finally throw the book away. Not very hard of course, because they're library books, not my own.

Any kind of annoying pop. Jumputusmusa, I'd say. But that's more like a Finnish term. Those practically identical songs you get from US. Annoy the hell out of me.

D&D. I loathed it. I'm sure there's more bad movies, but that's first on my mind.

1. "The Giver", Lois Lowry.
2. Anything pop. Next time I hear a song about some idiot whining about someone leaving them, I'm gonna shoot someone. Preferably me.
3. "The Matrix". Only because I haven't seen it and I want to.

I adored both A Separate Peace and And Then There Were None. LF, there's nothing explicit in A Separate Peace that says that Gene Forrester is homosexual, and in fact I found him to be one of the most interesting narrators of any book I have ever read. As for And Then There Were None, it just struck me as a great, gripping story, with a first-rate puzzle, a lot of intriguing psychological elements, and the rather unconventional absence of the brilliant detective. However, as evidenced by my liking for both of these books, I have a weekness for anything that seems somewhat psychological, stemming from my own entire inability to get into the minds of others.

Now to the actual question, which I am very impressed with. It seems that you may be coming around, STD.

1. Probably Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. Of all the grrrl power novels I've been forced to read in my time by aggressively feminist teachers, this one was the worst. Jane Eyre was bad enough without having to take a character out of it and give here an entire damn story as well, complete with plenty of guy-bashing, civilized nations-bashing, and a good deal of other types of bashing.

2. Any of the techno-dance stuff my roommate is obsessed with. I find the four-on-the-floor pounding bass beat to be an affront to my senses, and the sirenish, screeching female singers on a lot of the tracks are even more offensive. They take the liberty of remixing any song they wish, defiling many of the greatest songs of yesteryear. I nearly vomited when I heard a horribly remixed version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" a few days ago. The music just strikes me over all as sounding artificial and garish, the polar opposite of the organic, acoustic feel of much of the stuff I listen to.

3. "About A Boy." Obviously, because I'm a guy, and this movie just hates guys.

"Tess of the D'Urbervilles". Or really anything out of the early 1800s or the non-American late 1800s. Books only started becoming remotely readable when the idea of getting to the point instead of erecting a greco-roman monument that hinted at it caught on.

That stupid Live song about believing. The subject matter is asinine and the band suffers from Weeping Into Our Instruments Syndrome even when they're dealing with a subject that ought to be happy.

As for what movie, I don't really watch movies, and I've never sat through one that's horribly bad just for the sake of watching it.

1) Naomi in the Living room. May I suggest that no one goes near it.

2)An annoying song made by the newsboys...one about Africa or something, cant quite recall.

3)I really dont watch a lot of movies, and those that I have seen arent really bad in any way, so none.

1. Frankenstein, just because it's so boring. OK, well really it's because that's the last book I read that I thought of as bad, and I know I've read much worse, but I just can't remember what they're called.

2. Umm... probably "Ignition", by R. Kelly or Nelly or someone. Again, just because it's the worst one I can think of at the moment; I'm sure I've heard much worse.

3. Umm... good question. I don't watch movies too much. Maybe... ahh, what's that movie, fantasy, with the little annoying midgets who find a baby and those red-eyed boars try to kill them... still, just because it's the first that comes to mind.

Willow sucks but so does every other fantasy-movie. Just think about the Conan movies *shudder*! Why is it so hard to transfer good stories (no, I don't consider Conan a good story) to the big screen? The new LotR trilogy is perhaps the only somewhat decent fantasy-movie.

And as for my opinions...

1. One of the Sweet Valley High books. Decided to try one out a long time ago and ended up vomiting on my floor.

2. This is a hard one. I generally like all music, but heavy metal and such isn't that appealing.

3.Overflow! Overflow! But I think either the American Pie movies or Shindler's list comes quite close. It's not that Shindler's list isn't interesting or even exciting, it's just that it's so boring.

1. The Well, by Elizabeth Jolley. I mentioned in that other book topic about the 'literary' Aussie outback novels written by women: this is a prime example.

2. Pachabel's Canon. Being stuck in a store with it playing on repeat for several hours through tinny speakers will make me hate any music.

3. There's a myriad of them. I'll just have to say Plan 9 from Outer Space just because it's classically bad.

1) Metamorphosis, by Franz Kafka.

2) David, Ignition is a great song. I'd have to say most techno.

3) That movie with Josh Hartnett and giving up sex for Lent.

1. Hard choice here. A separate peace was mildly boring, but nothing could beat Anne Tyler's "Slipping-down Life" and Willa Cather's "My Antonia". Well, maybe "My Brilliant Career". Take your pick. You know, all that rubbish you read in Middle School English class when the teachers still deem you unready for Shakespeare.

2. The music I remember is the stuff I like. Call it selective memory.

3. I don't watch TV except for news, and go to see movies about 4-5 times a year. So I don't get opportunities to see a lot of bad movies, as I only see the ones I'm sure I'll like. If my sister had succeeded in dragging me in there, American Pie would've ranked first choice here. Especially after she told me about it.

1. The Bear, by Faulkner.

2. Most Christmas jingles they play a month early (and three months later) in shopping malls. About half of what passes for music on WMGS

3. Final Fantasy was defintely the worst movie ever. It takes boring to new and unexplored heights.

1. Hmm, probably anything I've had to do in school for a novel study, like "White Jade Tiger" by Julie Lawson
2. Anything by the Beastie Boys
3. "One Magic Christmas" I saw it on TV. I strongly advise you to never watch it.

And Stughalf, I liked "About a Boy" too. I didn't find it to be against men.

I didn't watch all of Willow (which, by the way, is what I was thinking of), but from what I saw of it, it was completely horrible. And I stand firm on Ignition, Drakey, sorry. I knew you liked that song, too, but I wasn't going to change my answer just for that... by the way, people, don't get offended about each others' preferences. I mean that as a warning, mostly.
