1. I counted up to 35 and then noticed
that Half Baked was on their list.

I don't know what they're smoking but how can you not appreciate a movie that alludes to how "blue" Bob Saget's comedy routine really is? Come on-Dave Chapelle is a pothead in the movie. I love it! And all the cameos, especially the Willie Nelson cameo.

They're on crack.

7. Love it when they tell the story of Killer the Dog.
Or how Jerry Garcia in a bag saves them all.


I paid to watch that in a smoky theatre and then bought it.

13. The kind tailor-made for a movie of that caliber.
BTW-I was a Jon Stewart kind of smoker.

17. Same here (22).
Here's a link for a website where the critic hammers all the movies!
http://www.mrcranky.com/

My favorite review he made was for the Bicentennial Man. Here's the beginning...
"Recently, I've been considering becoming an inventor. The first invention I'm going to submit for a patent is called the Idiot Kabobber, a piece of machinery I could have put to most effective use during "Bicentennial Man," the latest effort by "director" Chris Columbus and "actor" Robin Williams.

As smoke began to pour out of my ears after about ten minutes of this horrendous piece of rhino phlegm, I began hoping -- nay, praying -- that every time someone in the audience laughed or cried in response to this film, a huge, sharp metal rod would eject from the theater seat and skewer that person like a kabob. Thus, the Idiot Kabobber. And while this may seem unnecessarily cruel, a quick trip into the afterlife is truly a gift for somebody capable of enjoying this film, because such a person would clearly have nothing positive to contribute to the good of life here on Earth".

:rofl:

19. Not one. But I don't see all that many movies.
The worst movies I've ever seen were the Pokemon movies but I wasn't "going" to them so much as taking my kids.

31. I think 15
I didn't see "Howard the Duck", though, which I watched incessently as a kid.

I watched part of "UltraViolet" a couple of weeks ago. My pancreas tried to choke me into unconsiousness until the movie was over.

Worst I saw on the list was "8 Heads in a Duffle Bag", although I enjoyed that a lot more than the piece of "UltraViolet" I caught before my innards started to rebel.

8 Heads in a Duffel Bag (which I liked)
Showgirls (meh)
Half Baked (liked it)
Billy Madison (not THAT horrible. not good either.)
Saving Silverman (I hate Jack Black and this certified it)
Darkness Falls (not THAT horrible. not good either.)
Mr. Deeds (again, not quite THAT horrible. not good either.)

48. I'm one of the few who liked 8MM
it was condemned for being as sleazy and manipulative as the pornographic films it condemns. But I think that was the point, showing that the underground pornography world can easily suck you in without realizing it. Plus it wasn't really as violent as others claimed. I actually thought it didn't go far enough.

The rest of that list reads as a Comedy Central movie schedule. Makes you wonder who the real trash peddler of society is.
