In a class I took last semester, the prof made us watch this old black and white movie called "The Manchurian Candidate". He broke it up into segments so that it took a few classes to get through it.

I usually did one of the following during the movie:

-sleep
-photo editing on my laptop

When it came time for the discussion, I simply pulled up a synopsis on IMDB.com, answered a question based on what I read there, and got my full participation points.


The Manchurian Candidate?!?!?! You have got to be kidding me! Is it that classroom analysis can ruin just about anything, or that it was broken up into pieces? I could grant that it was not your sort of thing, maybe... That was an incredible movie!

On the other hand, I've never had much use for Gone With the Wind, and that's supposed to be one of the best movies ever. Like I care what happens to a spoiled little hillbilly? I had to grow up with dumb little tarts who had almost the exact same accent and attitude. The only differences were the date and the income. But I digress...

For a truly dumb movie... Cops and Robbersons. One of my examples in the ever boggling, "Why isn't he funny now?" monologues I sometimes deliver to my poor husband. I think I'll start a thread on it.

Idiocracy. How can everyone in the world be dumb simultaneously? It's illogical, but I thought it brought a message in a way.

I liked it - the premise was that after 1000 years most people are dumb - and they were accurate in how people of lower intelligence breed much more than intelligent people.

Boogeyman had me seriously considering demanding a refund after I'd seen it at the cinema.

Seriously, the monster that's been terrorising the main character throughout the entire film gets defeated when said hero... closes his eyes and counts to five, like his mother told him to do when he was a little boy.

No, really.

I have one that tops them ALL...........*drumroll*..........THE RED BALLOON

yea, all that movie was was just a red balloon on a string floating in the air in different scenes like some tape you would put in the VCR for some toddler or infant to watch and coo at.

first and only time I seen it, was in 10th grade high school (no idea why, but my english teacher was pretty much a sitting duck didn't teach anything but sit and chat to her assistant during the day) during that movie all I did was daydream about fixing doors, or read a home repair book about fixing garage door openers. and someone tell me, whats a movie like that doing in a high school's library, I mean perfect for preschool or a day care center, but a public township operated high school? lLOL

that movie made barney, teletubbies and sesame street look good, I probably would have screamed or pulled my hair out if wasn't for that home repair book.

Cellular, one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my entire life. The acting was terrible and so was the plot, everything was completely predictable.

Dragon Wars

I had high hopes for the movie. The effects in the trailer looked cool. I liked the mythology aspect. But I just could not get into it. I thought the final battle scene was ho-hum ("Is that it?"). Of course, I should've known when, at the beginning of the movie, there was a flashback scene within a flashback scene...Ugh. And it didn't help that the lead actor was so wooden. Time lost that I will never get back.

Grease 2. Whyyyy? :(
I don't even know where to start. Vapid teens strutting around acting 'cool' and such, putting teachers and other students down left and right to enforce 'rebellion', larded with puerile stereotypes, a travesty of a song called 'Cool Rider' performed by an inanely bouncing female lead... Campy, but not even in a feel good dumb fun way like the original. :eew:

I thought 'Chaos' was pretty terrible. It starred Wesley Snipes and that Statham fellow. The story just follows a fairly random pattern, incoherently leaping from one 'clever' twist to the next, all of it pretentiously basing itself on chaos theory. It also gets downright insulting when they introduce a female pathologist who makes no secret that she wants to jump the younger detective's bones.

That's what I remember of the movie. Loud, pretentious nonsense.

the dumbest movie I've ever seen is that doomsday 2012 B-movie by Asylum. Thank god it's on the worst movies ever list on IMDB. Think it got about a 1.8 rating out of 10. LOL :D
