Le Bad

[livejournal.com profile] shrijani has suggested that I write about bad movies. In that capacity, I suppose this is a good time to make this announcement, in the secret hopes that it'll be lost in the shuffle and forgotten.

Those of you who read this journal: Remember the big enormous huge mondo gigantimous movie brackets I was doing several months ago, wherein I had y'all voting on which movies you prefer in pairings, with the winners advancing March Madness-style? Remember how I posted immediately after that I was never ever ever ever ever doing this again?

You saw this coming. I've prepared a new bracket. This time, we're going for the worst movie evar.

It's only about half as big as the last one (256 titles in all), but it turned out to be a lot harder to fill. I think that's because I set myself two limits: 1) only one title per series (thus, Superman III or Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, but not both (and yes, I went with IV)); and 2) only truly bad and/or reviled movies, not just mediocre ones. Much harder than it looks. I also wanted to avoid reallllly obscure stuff, but I had to waver on that one a bit.

Still, there's a small handful of titles that are weaker than I'd like, so I'm open to any suggestions. What movies do you think are deserving of Truly Bad Movie status?

Mr. Wrong. It's so... wrong. And bad. And embarrassing.

I couldn't stand Bad Taste, but my husband thinks it's awesome.

The Ring Two. "Don't stop the car." Angry caribou, continuity errors out the wazoo, totally lame storyline, and about as scary as an upper middle class baby shower. SUCK.

That's all I've got for now.

Miami Vice. A steamy pile so bad Don Johnson would have been a welcome relief.

Luckily, I already made a list for [livejournal.com profile] rafaela:

Blade: Trinity
Aladdin 2
Hercules and the Amazon Women (TV)
Elektra
Bubba Hotep
Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace
No Retreat, No Surrender
Plan 9 from Outer Space

There was one I saw that was even worse than "Blade: Trinity," but my mind has compassionately wiped all specifics, including the name.
