So, I watched 50 Shades of Grey the other day and I've got to admit it actually wasn't that bad... And I am very disappoint! I haven't read the books but from the excerpts I've heard, it's spectacularly, mind-bogglingly, hilariously bad! With the film you could tell that everybody involved was genuinely trying to make a decent movie... Why would they do that?
So yeah, I'm just one of those weird people who enjoys films that are really terrible. Twilight's a good example. The movie just perfected the art of being so dumb and so over the top and so trying to be a good movie but failing so miserably that I actually enjoyed it. The fact that a lot of teenage girls honestly think that this is the greatest love story of all time only makes it funnier... And I wanna see more like it! ^_^
Does anybody know some really, really bad movies that're just so bad they're good? Some of my personal faves are:
I did naht hit her! It's naht true! It's bullshit! I did naht hit her! I DID NAHT.
Oh hai Mark.
How's your sex life? ^_^
Don't tauch me motherfucker, get ouht!

Anyway, how's your sex life?
Ask your mother. ^_^
Genocidal Brit.
CONFIRMED: Briar_Rose is lesbian. XD
Nothing wrong with a bit of incest. Especially when you need that genius trait and high stewerdship.
Wait, where'd the incest come from? She's not MY mother
According to anyone who has any experience with actual BDSM, it sucked ass, but to each their own. I have no personal feeling of yay or nay on realistically playing out such things on the big screen. NMK.
My opinion of 50SOG is that it's Twilight for adults. Actually, you DO realize that (allegedly) it literally IS Twilight, for -an- adult, right? Because it was a twilight fanfic, but she changed the names of the characters and published it because her (obviously repressed) friends told her it was awesome...?
Edit: So bad it's good films I liked? I guess Sharknado counts, but it's intentional. At least, I hope to God it was intentional. xD
Yeah, I know. I really wish that the actual Twilight fanfiction version was still online, I bet that would be even funnier ^_^
Sharknado huh? Is that like a really, really bad version of Jaws?
I'm sure it would. xD I kinda wish it was, too, thinking about it now.
xD Oh, no. No. It's exactly what it sounds like. It's about tornadoes, made of sharks, which come in and attack big cities. And there's this chick in the cast who ... apparently hates sharks more than other people because we needed someone especially angry over this, I guess, and it's because Sharks ate her grandparents or something. There's a chainsaw and explosions.
Oh. And Spiderman 3. Emo Peter made me laugh. xD And feel a deep, consuming sense of shame as a Spiderman fan, but still, I laughed.
I booed at the parts where Tara Reid wasn't dying.
Lol! That sounds awesome, I should watch that sometime.
But for me the funniest part of Spider Man 3 was the ending where he's talking to the guy who killed his uncle and the guy's like, "Sorry about your uncle buddy. I'm a good guy really! The thing is, I have a daughter who's really sick and that makes it okay for me to kill people."
And Peter just goes, "Meh, no hard feelings. I've done terrible things as well. This one time, when I was being controlled by this black gooey stuff that makes you evil, I did the Saturday Night fever walk and accidently punched my girlfriend in the face... We're totally the same!"
... Also the big fight scene at the end where they've got a four way battle with everybody flying around beating the crap out of each other... But like every ten seconds they'll just cut to a scene of Mary Jane screaming... 'Cos everybody wants to see that!
Lol. Think I stole it from there
"I'm...sorry. I thought my arm could withstand the vacuum of space."
Sharks+Tornado=Sharknado.
Its exactly what it says on the tin. A tornado filled with sharks that occasionally flew out of the cyclone and ate people.
It was okay, I was actually a little disappointed that it wasn't quite "bad" enough though, but that might've been because it was deliberately trying. More mediocre than anything else.
Mm. Bad movies ARE better when they're just naturally 'funny bad' as opposed to actively trying. It's a delicate balance, I guess.
Really I'm sort of surprised the creators of "The Secretary" didn't sue. The guy in that is even called "Mr. Gray" and they have their little BDSM relationship and its done fairly well.
*shrug* I've seen people get away with much worse.
Battlefield Earth- That is all.
Awh, I've heard of that one! That looks awesome! ^_^
The plot is so stupid, but I had fun watching it. There are parts that make you want to claw your own eyes out though.
I remember The Scarlet Letter being a little like that :)
Can't really complain about the book, but the film's writing and acting was pretty terrible imo, despite Gary. Buuut terrible in a funny way :)
Are we talking movies that were badly made due to budget problems and crappy actors or are we just talking about movies that everyone else seems to hate except you? Because if its the latter, I could probably list them without much problem. Like for example I liked Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes, but I know everyone else seems to hate the movie. Same thing for Prometheus, The Postman and Waterworld just to name a few. If it's the former, it gets a little more complicated since the ones I like that probably fall into that category, usually have at least one or two good things about it like a cool concept or that one really good actor who got roped into playing in it and basically carries the entire movie and as such I don't think are completely bad in my eyes since I liked them well enough. I guess here's a small list though Flash Gordon They still haven't made a proper Flash Gordon film and until they do this one is the best. Ice Pirates Exactly what it says. Battle Beyond the Stars Seven Samurai IN SPACE! World Gone Wild Seven Samurai IN THE POST APOCALYPSE! 2019: After the Fall of New York They shoved every PA movie up to 1982 in this one. Funny enough though it has a similar premise to Children of Men that came out decades later, but with a lot more mutants, cyborgs and deathmobiles. Yor: Hunter From the Future This has so much Schizo tech in it, it's like a session of Civilization. Out all the ones I listed, this one probably comes the closest to being completely bad since the acting really sucks A LOT. In fact the more I think about it, I'm not even sure why I still like the movie. Guess I'm just a sucker for movies involving cave people fighting a Darth Vader wannabe trying to take over the world with robots.
Flash Gordon is a great fucking movie.
Someone finally gets it.
Hmm... Not the latter. I'm not talking about films most people hate but a few genuinely like. I'm like that with A.I. Everybody else seems to hate it, but I actually liked the movie. I thought the plot was interesting, the story was cute, the acting was good and I wasn't even bothered by the ending.
I'm talking more about films that we think are absolutely terrible, but we find them entertaining BECAUSE they're terrible. Low budgets and terrible acting can be a factor in what makes a film "so bad it's good" but it doesn't have to be. Twilight had a massive budget and (besides the main girl) the actors weren't particularly bad... It's just the story and the characters and the relationships and the fact that the vampire's sparkle and the girl that has absolutely no redeeming qualities is supposed to be the loveable heroine that make it so bad it's good.
I'd throw in Noah as another example of so bad it's good. They has a big budget and genuinely decent actors, but the only thing I could think when watching it is "What the fuck were they thinking?" I'm all for adaptations of Christian stories. The Ten Commandments and The Prince of Egypt were awesome... But when you take the story of Noah and throw in giant angels made of rock, Noah leaving an innocent girl to get trampled to death, the grandpa Methuselah still being alive and the family leaving him to drown for no particular reason, an evil King becoming a stowaway on the ship, Noah going crazy and deciding he's going to kill his two grandchildren because he thinks God wants him to and top it off by throwing in the message that Christians are all supposed to be vegetarians, it's like... Just... Why would you do this to yourselves?
Well that's my daily rant out of the way... And I have got to watch Flash Gordon some time! ^_^
Tim Burton's movies started to suck ass after that.
Prometheus wasn't a bad movie, but it was a bad Alien movie.
Fuck you Kevin Costner! You promised a good movie and gave us shit!
I liked Flash Gordon, but the special effects... Oh God...
I haven't heard of nor seen any of the others listed.
The Core. What's worse is that this one actually scared the shit out of me when I was a kid and it's where we get the term 'unobtainium' from. That doesn't make it suck any less, though.
*snicker*
Yeah, I still don't think any of those things make Hunger Games qualify for "so bad it's good." Obviously I'm biased 'cos I actually like the films, but it's kind of like saying that Lord of the Rings is "so bad it's good" because the eagles could've fixed everything at the beginning.
I'd say it fits into more of a "films everybody loved but me" category (obviously not for me, but for the people who didn't like it.) I have quite a few of those films where pretty much everybody seems to love it, but I don't get what all the fuss is about. The Dark Knight is one of them. I don't actually dislike it, I'm just like... Meh.
Heh, I liked Dead Girl and the fact they didn't do the whole traditional zombie horde spreading thing.
Seemed pretty realistic too in that I could imagine some outcast high school losers just fucking a tied down undead woman because it was their only way of actually getting any sex and then thinking they were somehow cooler because of it. (As well as the one guy starting to actually fall in love with the thing) The funniest part was the retard who shoved his dick in her mouth and unsurprisingly got it bitten off. Lol
I need to see this movie.
Yeah, I never quite saw her as a "zombie" either. I almost thought maybe she was some sort of vampire that was very weak due to lack of blood or maybe a ghoul, but it's just one of things they don't explain and keep a mystery.
I think that ghouls are servant zombies.
In post-muslim Arabia, djins are also demons.
Bad spirits?
Kinda. Not sure.
A Djinn is not a demon ... well, not in the Christian sense, because a demon is a fallen angel and a Djinn is neither angel nor human. There's a clear difference between the two in their lore. Like humans, they can be good, evil, or neutral.
As I understand them, they're traditionally a patriarchal society of "wise" beings that are associated with (or, by some accounts, made of) fire and living underground. Want a pop-culture reference? Try "Ifrit" of the final fantasy franchise. He's honestly too beast-like and aggro, but it was an attempt. (Interestingly enough, Japan's lore would probably get this concept of "demons who aren't really evil but could be" better than most cultures, since they have similar stuff.)
If you want another reference, well ... Djinn somehow got mangled into the concept of a "genie" (I don't understand where the concept of taming a Djinn came from), and yes, that implies that Genie (from Aladdin) was a type of "demon." However, in that lore, it only means that he was a spirit, of some "magical" (re: supernatural) properties ... who was imprisoned. Because reasons.
The way I see it Alladin is based on a pre-islamic myth and the entity within the lamp is called a Djin cause that's how all spirits (besides Angels) would be called like in post-Islam Arabia.
That's not exactly what my research has turned up, but hell, I'm no expert of Arabic mythology.
Neither am I.
That's what wikipedia says, but muslims told me that they are demons and only way to get rid of them is to be muslim and say Allah 3 times.
Well if you guys want any more info on Djinn, you could always go watch the bad Wishmaster series, though the first one is okay I guess.
I remember seeing that when I was 10 or 11.
Woah.
Har har, I wish.
Dammit, I don't know enough CYS to make a well-fitting joke here...
... I have got to watch this movie now
Lol I gotta watch that movie.
Conan the Barbarian.
Which one, the original or the new one?
The original. The new one is just normal bad.
I didn't mind the new one (another movie everyone else hated) but I felt they were trying to make Conan more "heroic" in that one and Conan isn't really supposed to be a hero. The original is better of course.
They're supposed to be making a new Conan movie with Arnold playing the role again. Given how old Arnold is now I'm guessing this one is going to take place when Conan's running his kingdom.
That sounds fucking amazing. Hopefully they have a good score to go with it, because Basil Poledouris' epic music made the first one great, imho.
Really? Huh... well, I'd watch it.
Oh yeah, how could I forget Conan? I think most films with Arnie in them qualify for "so bad it's good"
Since we're on the subject of Sword & Sorcery movies I'll go ahead and say Beastmaster. Just the first one though, the sequels were...uh...unnecessary.
Guess I'll also mention Krull too which is one of those scifi-fantasy mixed movies.
A couple of other S&S movies that I liked but seem to get a lot of hate are Willow and Legend.
I remember Willow being good ^_^
I can't in good conscience even call the original Clash of the Titans a bad movie just for the fact it has all the cool creature effects by Ray Harry Hausen. I rank that one with Golden Voyage of Sinbad and Jason and the Argonauts.
I lost it way before then.
All those teenage girls should eat shit and fucking die. There, I said it. I know you all were thinking it.
Also, I hate the delusional retards who think that vampires sparkle, even in Bram Stoker's Dracula. Yeah, there are morons who think that.
God, no. Please tell me you're just fucking with me. How the hell has Meyer made people dumber than she is?
I wish I was fucking with you. These are girls in my school, which is even worse, because that's the kind of stupidity one should only be able to expect on the Internet.
EDIT: They irritate me almost as much as the people who think that zombies are strong, fast and smart because of I Am Legend.
DAMN YOU, TWILIGHT! Damn you and your poisonous idiocy. You sicken me.
>_> The walking disco ball thing has suddenly ceased to be funny. Someone should've taken a flamethrower to those bastards.
It's too late to stop it, but ... revenge, man! REVENGE!
I sincerely wish the books had ended with the addition of Abraham Van Helsing.
And then raped their corpses while someone shat in their mouths.
Pretty sure that every western-adapted version of the Vampire has them burn, or atleast weaken, under direct sunlight.
I mean hey, I might be wrong due to the fact I'm no necrophiliac, but the only exceptions to this I've seen is Underworld and Twilight, and I think most of us can agree Twilight isn't a reputable source. And there's only one exemption in Underworld.
Besides. Due to the fact vampires aren't real and are figments of creativity, they're atleast mildly subjective.
Troll 2
Whatever this is
The horse sliding bit absolutely killed me. And why the fuck did those cars blow up at the end? So many fucking questions, how am I supposed to feel about that?

"FUS... RO'DAH!".
Seriously. Guy knows Dragon.
"They're eating her... And then they're gonna eat me... Oh my Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!"

Direct to DVD Disney movies.
A true classic: Cinderella V: The Step Sisters Strike Back.
... Sorry to break it to you, but there is actually a Cinderella 3 that has pretty much this exact story.
Does Cinderella lose a hand near the end?
At least tell me she cuts off the arm of a yeti in the beginning.
Does she fuck her long lost brother?
Nah, it was a behind the scenes thing, I know it happened. Lucas just didn't want to put his film into disrepute.
If only you knew how much I'd pay to see that shit.
I want that in Episode 7.
Oh fuck, how could I forget the Disney sequels? There's some "so bad it's good" gems out there! Hunchback of Notre Dame 2 was particularly terrible for me, 'cos they had to throw in a stunningly beautiful woman who falls in love with Quazimodo because... It wouldn't have been a happy ending if the hideously deformed hunchback fell in love with an ugly girl.
Pretty much the reason why I dislike Disney. That, and the fact that they basically ate Marvel.
They ruined Spiderman.
And every other Marvel superhero, but I'm particularly mad about Spiderman.
Marvel didn't own the rights to Spiderman until recently, dumbass.
They still don't own the rights, Sony are just letting Spiderman appear in the MCU for monies.
I know that. I wasn't talking about the Spiderman movies (Though 3 was terrible), I was talking about the animated serieses (What's the plural for series?). But the Deadpool episode of Ultimate Spiderman was good.
Fuck, I don't know man. Those Marvel things are getting out of hand. I'm not even sure if it was Ultimate Spiderman, there's just too much Marvel shit coming out!
I like Adventure Time.
Adventure Time was great.
It sucks ass now, considering the jokes are stupid (Rather than how funny they used to be), there's too many characters, and they just ran out of good ideas.
I prefer Regular Show now, still watch Adventure Time though.
you the 1 sayin shit about regular show lad whats ur adress n we'l see if its funny when i crush u lad but that would be to good for u kid il burn u any ya famly so u feel everythin u horrible lil shit !!! people like u need shootin!!
Crackah, you need to take a Language Arts class to be gangsta!
Disgusting post from a disgusting user on a disgusting thread, i am going to unwatch this thread and will encourage all of my friends to do the same, absolutely atrocious.
*raughs evirry
Same thing happened with Regular Show. I prefer the first two seasons of both shows, the seasons after that suck.
The drop in quality is obvious, but I get bored by Adventure Time now. Regular Show is still pretty funny to me.
I don't watch either anymore.
Who doesn't?
I need to learn Korean, then watch some of the episodes with her in them.
I'm sure that even Jake doesn't understand what she's saying, because he never acknowledges them as dirty things. That, or I don't remember if he does.
Though he's like a translator for other people.
.
Nigga, what the fuck did you say?
Dammit, we'll never know.
*Though he acts like a translator for other people.
X-men origins ruined Deadpool. He might have been cool if he wasn't a hollywood mockery pretending to be Deadpool, but they made him Deadpool, a very, very lame Deadpool, because the movies had to take themselves so fucking seriously, and Deadpool wouldn't allow that shit.
That guy at the end was Deadpool, right?
Though Deadpool redeemed himself in the game.
Series is a plural.
Would've at least been funny if it had been Belle that was the beautiful woman that got with the Quazi. She ended up leaving The Beast when he turned into a handsome guy because it turns out she's really into ugly dudes and she's like "Kiss me, you hunchbacked freak!"
Yeah, I do kinda feel sorry for Belle. She fell in love with a big, hairy Beast. If she'd wanted some butt-chinned pretty boy she'd have hooked up with Gaston.
Highlander! :D
The first Highlander was okay, the rest of them sucked a lot.
Should've listened to their tag line "There can only be one"
*There can be only one.
It seems insignificant, but hardcore Highlander fans will chew your ass if you don't get it right.
^
Lol
And James is right.
Don't h8 m8
What?
I said, don't h8 m8.
I heard, I just don't understand to what you were referring.
While there are certainly a ton of horror movies that fit this category, Jack Frost probably deserves a mention as being particularly ridiculous: Serial killer snowman and at one point he rapes a girl with his carrot nose. Then in the sequel he's got an army of Killer snowballs.
They wanted to eventually do a third movie but the actor that played the hero in both of those died in an avalanche near a ski resort.
Thank god for miracles.
Kinda ironic.
Poor guy.
... I have got to watch that one
xD ...Rape with a carrot probably shouldn't be funny, but it is.
This brings to light a very serious question. Can things STINK GOOD? "Stink" is used as a negative connotation, but doesn't it mean the same as "smell"? If not, then it definitely means to smell bad. So what's the positive form for stink?
Do my own feces count?
You nasty
... Why are you asking us? Do you expect anyone here to KNOW what yours smell like?
>_> If so, there was a gathering of CYSers that I was not invited to and ... yeah. I didn't need to be in that loop, then or ever.
I know what your feces smell like... the answer is... feces...
:P Hey, yours could smell like blood or pus for all we know. Or, according to Family Guy, "like bakery fresh cinnamon rolls!"
Reminds me of another underrated movie "Road to Wellville"
"Your stool is quite frankly pathetic. Formless, mushy and foul smelling. My own stools on the other hand are perfect. They are gigantic and have no more odor than a hot biscuit."
-- Harvey Kellogg
... Well, I think you can smell something normally perceived as smelling bad and actually enjoy the smell, or at least like it more than a normal person, but that's more a matter of personal preference and "taste" than it is of liking something YOU genuinely think smells bad.
For example, some people like when their lovers are sweaty, they claim that the scent that comes from them in that moment smells good.
I ... would not agree, but then again, I am not personally attracted to those sweaty people and apparently, that can make a difference. (Probably because them smelling like sweat is linked to more pleasant memories, thus making the smell seem better...?)
