Do You Have Friends/Relatives/Loved Ones With Really, Really Bad Taste In Movies?

I recently saw Ebert & Roeper's top 10 worst films of 2007, and I can proudly say that I didn't see any of them, not even when they came on cable. However, someone must've seen one or more of these movies at the theater.

1. I'm going to risk ridicule here and say...

...I didn't think Rush Hour 3 was that bad. It passed a boring few hours over Christmas quite nicely, thank you.

3. No, The Number 23 is definitely one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

6. Not saying it was great, but it was trashed all out of proportion

7. No it wasn't.

It was an extremely cheap ripoff of Pi and Lost Highway with not a single redeeming cinematic/artistic quality to it.

8. Copy of Lost Highway... man want some of what

Anyway... It was a mildy entertaining and slightly artsy thriller that's all.

Norbit, Bratz anyone Hostel II,

10. Yeah...

The whole killed someone but suppressed it and didn't realize it plot. Not to mention Jim Carrey's detective alter ego was a saxophone player like Fred Madison. Maybe it's not a direct rip, but come on.

5. The Number 23 and I Know Who Killed Me are the only two on the list I've seen...

And I only watched them as an exercise in masochism. I knew they were going to be utterly horrible, but I wanted to see just how horrible.

9. Zodiac was the most overrated movie of the year

Edited on Wed Jan-23-08 01:42 AM by JCMach1

I am almost always up for a good serial killer flick... I can even go for the artsy post-modern pastiche that was part of this movie.

However, the performances were flat-lining and the direction flaccid...

at least it wasn't Hannibal Rising

12. Most of my friends think The Matrix movies were good, so yes.

Most of my friends think The Matrix movies, and the three most recent Star Wars films were not just good, but great... so yeah-- I think I can safely say their tastes in movies sucks fruit.
