    I tend to avoid movies that I think will be bad (like the Kilmer/Clooney Batman movies) so I don't see many stinkers.

    This one was awful, though.

    Screenshot 2022-03-28 at 18-29-11 Fire Birds (1990).png

    Top Gun but with helicopters plus Nicolas Cage and Tommy Lee Jones? What's not to like?

    Nothing. There's nothing to like about it.

    Even Sean Young couldn't save it. :(

    Dude, the end of Blair Witch totally blows chunks. The worst horror movie cliche of all - "Let's go right where we know the monster is! What could go wrong?" Ruins the whole movie. Not to mention how fucking abysmally stupid the characters are even before that. "I threw the map away!" "Let's not follow the creek, let's just wander around in the woods!" :jayzus:

    I maintain the Kilmer one--Batman Forever--is actually quite watchable.
    I saw that in the theater when it came out. Oh, it was bad. It was so, so bad. The only memory I have left of it is Nicholas Cage screaming "I AM THE GREATEST!"

    Is that the one where Nicholas Cage straps a homemade periscope to his head with a pair of panties and drives a Jeep?

    The witch was messing with either space or their perception of it. And they only went to the house because they heard their friend's screams coming from it. :bailey:

    This is probably the very worst I've ever seen. Not my choice. My wife rented it in the early 90s.

    If you like country music, George Strait is a great singer.

    No kind of actor, though, especially with a turd of a script like that.

    It was so bad I left the room. :lol:

    I assume you mean the George Clooney version. I haven't seen the original Polish film, but I've read the novel that both were based on, and while the Clooney version fails to capture the central theme of the novel (what it would be like for humans to encounter an alien species that has thought processes entirely different than our own), I wouldn't say that it was a terrible movie.
    Oh shit, I forgot about that hot piece of garbage. I remember seeing the trailers for it and thinking, "Well, no matter how bad it might be, at least it'll look cool." Then I saw the movie and realized that Bay had done the impossible with it and actually made a movie where people would cheer the Japanese. Seriously. I had uncles who fought in the Pacific theater during WWII, I've known people who were friends with folks who were at Pearl when the Japanese attacked and were interviewed by the people behind that nightmare of a film, and they were wanting the Japanese to win, that's how bad that movie was.
    Whoa, now. Let's not be hasty here. I didn't see anything at all redeeming about the first one. I can't comment on the sequels, but the first one wasn't exactly good either.

    He's also responsible for Signs, which is a wretched, wretched film.

    Was Bumblebee a Bay project? To me that was the one faint light in a very dismal franchise.

    I've heard that one's pretty good. I've got a UHD of it but haven't watched it yet.

    I remember falling asleep during Transformers 2 (whatever the hell that was sub-titled; too lazy to look it up). An action film that puts one to sleep does not have a lot to commend it.

    There's also Captain America: The First Avenger. I wouldn't say it's a terrible movie, or even a bad one. But I cannot watch it without falling asleep. I've tried watchingi it, probably 4-5 times. And I fall asleep every single time. I can't tell you what happens after Rogers gets injected with the serum and the Vita Ray treatment, he chases the guy to the sub and that's as far as I remember.

    Yeah, but we Earthlings had the sense to wear oxygen-filled protective garments on the moon.

    You'd'a thunk the Signs aliens would have at least sprayed themselves down with Scotchgard or something. :D

    My advice is to pretend the other ones don't exist, and watch it like it stands alone.

    Nah, the correct answer would have been "Also earthlings: Let's go to Venus where the heat AND atmosphere can both kill us in seconds!"

    The Beach, staring Leonardo Dicaprio. Bored douchebros in search of excitement stumble on a hidden commune of modern humans living an agrarian lifestyle on a beach somewhere in Thailand that somehow nobody else is able to find. Stupidity ensues.

    Batman Forever still had some Burton's DNA in it which makes it passable. I maintain that Jim Carrey has potential to play a more serious Riddler. Maybe not Paul Dano Riddler, but something more serious. Billy Dee Williams was robbed of playing Two Face.

    I was being nice about the first Transformers film because it wasn't a complete train wreck. I was still able to follow the action, Optimus Prime wasn't a murderous asshole, it had a coherent plot, a decent message, there were very little childish jokes , Shia LaBeof wasn't completely unlikable, Megan Fox carried the human aspect of the film, Bumblebee was likable and I don't remember any blatant racism.

    It wasn't directed by Michael Bay so I don't include it in with the other film, but it's the same universe.

    Star Trek: Into Darkness.
    "Let's remake TWOK and lie about who the villain is and piss off the fans on message boards when they call us out on our bullshit and then when he reveals his name to Kirk and Spock in a dramatic way, they'll be like 'am I supposed to know who you are?' Then let's kill Kirk this time and immediately revive him with magic blood. Oh and by the way, let's make Starships irrelevant because you can beam from Earth to Q'onos with no problem."

    Who said anything about racism? I just couldn't tell who was fighting whom because for large portions of the film all we seemed to get were chest plate shots of one Transformer or another. No goddamned idea of if it was the chest plate of an Autobot or a Decepticon.

    Oh, yes.

    I made the mistake of paying to see that at a theater.

    At least it was matinee pricing. :jayzus:
