Nah, I'll vouch for you on that movie being a piece of shit.

I just know a lot of people who loved it. I thought it was boring, everyone tells me that I just like loud comedies and can't appreciate dry humour. Quite the opposite, but there's a difference between "Dry Humour" and "No humour."

I enjoyed that movie, but I'm not going to flame you. I could easily see why someone would hate it.

Napoleon Dynamite was one of those movies that was quoted to death for like a year or two, but now it's pretty much turned into one of those cases where it stopped being funny quoting it and now you just get stares of annoyance when you *do* quote it (see also Powers, Austin.)

Freddy vs. Jason should be added to the list.

I want to throw in Anus Magillicutty; the only hesitation I have is that the movie seems proud of a reviewer who called it "The Worst Ever" so we might be praising it. Then again, it is genuinely fucking horrible.

Also:
Heartbeeps
Feeders (Both of them)
Napoleon Dynamite (I'm gunna get flamed for including this, aren't I?
The Curse of Count Chocula (I WANTED TO LOVE THIS D: The name made it sound like it would be a "So bad it's good." Shame it was a genuine bad bad.)

Napoleon Dynamite SUCKS ASSS

I enjoyed that movie, but I'm not going to flame you. The humor is incredibly dry, which is a turn-off for a lot of people, so I can see why someone would hate it.

I dug it as well, but I can see it not being a movie for everyone. The fact that is caught on the way it did is actually pretty surprising.

Are you talking about the series in general, or the first one? Because the first one, I believe, is underquoted.

The series in general.

So I'm bad at using forum quotes. We all have something we're ashamed of.

If it's not too late, I'd like to add Crash (not Chronenberg's, the 2005 one by Paul Haggis).

Thanks for the suggestions folks

I'll start making up "brackets" for this tournament in a few days.

Ahh yes, Crash. I barely remember it enough to really judge it, but there's one reason it brings up a bloody nasty memory; I watched it for some human rights class where the teacher turned out to have no concept of human rights going apeshit the moment someone mentioned Pink Floyd's "The Wall" satirizing riots and skinheads and she went on a bent saying how hateful it was. Then, she went doubly batshit and proved she had no concept of human rights with this bit: A student recommended "Schindler's List." She went on to say it was a horrible film because it promoted anti-antisemitism by having Nazis in it and that Spielberg had probably never met a Jew. I fought pretty hard to cancel that class seeing as the "teacher" had no brain; and yet Crash was propaganda to her so despite not recalling anything, I'm biased against it because of the headache she gave me.

I'll actually say, slightly unrelated, that even though Cronenberg is my favourite director; his Crash is actually one of my least favourites of his. I like it - but I think maybe giving the old leg wound some loving really bothered me; and not in the way I usually like movies from Croneyboig to bother me.

I only voted on the ones where I've seen at least one of the movies. I hope that works and if it doesn't I can fill in the rest later.

We should declare a deadline for voting in each round.
