The worst film/show you ever saw

I love Blade Runner. An 80s neo-noir scifi that is visually stunning. I do have to be in the right mood to watch it though. The new one took me awhile to come around too. I gotta admit, it kinda ruins the mystery of the first iteration though.

I have a number of those action DVD packs and that one does sound vaguely familiar. "Reflex Action" maybe? That was a pretty cheap movie I remember being mostly set in the desert.

Never liked Shining, it misses the point of the book by making Jack crazy right from the start so his descent into madness has very little impact and Nicholson is so over-the-top I found him more laughable then intimidating. Only thing interesting about that movie for me is my hopes that the removed epilogue with the kid getting adopted gets found one of these days(it played in theaters for like a week when it first came out and Kubrick removed it from all future showings and releases after people like Roger Ebert criticized it)

I'm getting an urge to see it out of sheer morbid curiosity.

My mom loved that show too, why was a true mystery to me. Funnily enough that show would be considered "woke" today by most right-wing jesus freaks due to it starring non-white characters.

I disagree on Friends though as it was one of the first shows to feature a lesbian couple who were actually happy and didn't end up miserable or having something bad happen to them like was common for TV at the time so i'd argue it did at least take some risks and I do think it was a success for a reason(plus it had quite a lot of sex jokes so "Wholesome" definitely is not a word i'd ever use to describe it). TBA though definitely only could've been a success during the 90s, it's so maudlin and disgusting it makes 7th Heaven look downright edgy by comparison, at least that show had the guts to dedicate an episode to missing children(with several photos of real-life missing kids shown)and also one talking about the holocaust.

Yeah, kind of weird in hindsight that the idea of having a diverse cast of angels could be considered too "woke" today by the same audience who ate it up in the 90s. Almost like these things go in cycles... 

Haha, not saying anything bad about Friends there, just that it was considered a "no go show" by a lot of 90s religious conservatives since it portrayed "sinful living" (I remember complaints about it well into the 2000s) I can't help if wonder if a number of the those same haters and ranters were just jealous and bitter that they never got to live that kind of life (IE instead, they got tied down early with miserable job, marriage, kids, etc.) and were just lashing out in response. Who knows. I am ambivalent towards it personally since I haven't watched much of it. 


In terms of other media I think is deplorable, Eragon is especially awful, both as an adaptation and as a stand alone movie. You can tell it was made during that "QUICK WE NEED TO FIND THE NEXT/OUR OWN HARRY POTTER" film phase that a lot of companies went through. 

Yeah that makes sense, jealousy does seem a likely factor.

I actually bought a ticket for Eragon just so I could sneak in to see Primeval(as I was underage at the time). I did like the song Avril Lavigne did for the film but that's about it.

Another laughably bad film trying to be the next Harry Potter is The Seeker: The Dark is Rising, that thing came out and flopped so bad most people haven't even heard of it.
