No thanks. I think I'm pretty much done with Hollywood movies. Can't remember the last one I paid to see.

Its okay, these kind of movies make it possible to bundle together so all their films appear to be a loss when it comes time to pay points to actors. I'm not sure Jack Nicholson has earned a dime off Batman yet.

He has the resonant, deep voice thing going, but his face is weak and he has a matrix of zits under his eyes. Never could understand why he didn't get that fixed. Same with DeNiro's stupid mole.

It depends on how one defines the term "worst movie." I think it's rather pointless to take Ed Wood's dreck and judge it on its merits.
Makes more sense to me to look at films that are acclaimed, and compare them to the hype. My all-time worsts:

As a Brit I can confirm this. We use the term 'pants' here all the time to imply that something is rubbish. Pants here are of course not trousers but underpants - which is probably why it makes more sense in the UK.

"Leonard, part six" is the worst movie ever made Bill Cosby and a duck.
Posted by: Lou Reed
I'd like to re-lay this story, if I could right noooowww.
I was doing The March of Dimes celebrity tennis tournament, back in Santa Barbaraaaaaa.. And my partner was Bill Cosby, and right before the match, Bill told me he was a big fan of my work. And I said to him that I wish I could return the compliment, but I never liked his work. In "Leonard, Part 6", he was constantly mugging up a storm! I felt like I was watching Stretch Armstrong. I'd say, "Billy! It's film -- take it down a notch."
At first he was mad but, later on, we did a production of "Jurassic Pork" and we've become very tight!

None of these people have Christian names. Is it supposed to be "post-Christian?"

There was a situation not too long ago where some liberal, white news anchor called Samuel Jackson "Lawrence Fishburne". He was PISSED.
But it is pretty hilarious when liberals in the news media think "they all look alike".

I tried. The girl playing the main character lacks charisma and is terrible with the voice overs. All the guys except for Luke Cage with his magic negro presence are idiots and worthless.

I just start with the assumption that Hunger Games nonsense was meant for a different demographic than the one into which I fall.
Somewhat related though... although maybe not, all the promos they run for the new AMC show Into the Badlands, they talk about it like it's a post-apocalyptic world. And there are no guns! They've been banned or something.
As violent as the previews are, you would think SOMEBODY would get the idea that having a gun would be, I don't know, maybe sorta a good idea?
Anyhoo, I have 0 interest in the thing. Good grief, I need Julie Andrews to twirl around in the Alps to express how few f**ks I give for that show.

At first I picked the paper up expecting some hippie BS. However, the further along I got, this guy seemed to have and ax to grind with the city council and some shady deal with them trading land across the county line toward Hendersonville. Seemed pretty conservative.
Maybe a psycho. IDK.

Yeah, Tea Leoni was very good in that.
But I always get a kick out of these movies where they have someone like Paz Vega (100% super-white Euro) play a mestiza. Then her kid is actually Meso-American, doesn't even look related!
They did the same thing with "Under the Same Moon." Cute little mestizo boy with a paleface mom (Kate Castillo) who is supposedly oppressed because raaaacist!

Mike, you seriously need to write a response letter, and this is what you should say:
“What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.#8221;

Yeah; yeah.
I have ranted a few times about baby names on here but never expressed myself well. For that, I received a round mocking by the horde, who are quite good at it.
But really: if you don't name your kids after people in your family that came before, you're rejecting tradition, the past, continuity, and family. Inventing some new name you thought of when you were 14 making your friendship bracelet is no excuse for inflicting it on a child. Get a hamster.
