Worst film of the decade so far?

[deleted]

to the original poster, you clearly have not seen enough movies.

people who keep mentioning how "beautiful," "hot," or "sexy," etc. a particular actor/actress in a movie is clearly do not understand what makes a good film.

not only is a movie with a cast of entirely good-looking people totally unrealistic, but it's typically a sign that the film lacks substance, and that the filmmakers are untalented amateurs.

the fact is, acting requires great skill and talent. that is why good actors are in high demand. sure, the film industry prefers lead actors who are good-looking in a conventional fashion, but only the best directors and highest budget studios can afford an actor who is both good-looking AND a skilled actor. and even then, good filmmakers tend to only seek good-looking actors for a few specific roles, such as leads.

an entire cast that looks like they're from an episode of MTV's The Real World typically indicates that the roles were cast based on superficial appearances rather than deeper aesthetics or acting ability, especially in an indie film.

now, this film obviously doesn't have a cast that is disproportionately attractive, but it's still rather inane to mention "so-and-so looks so hot!" when discussing the merits of a film. i mean, christ, you guys sound like a buncha pre-pubescent jr. high students.

I agree, most Americans have the attention span of two-year-olds. If every little thing is not spelled out for them in the first 2 minutes they go nuts and have a tantrum. "Boarding Gate" is hypnotic and sexy and extremely suspenseful, and Asia Argento's character was a beautiful lost soul trapped in a nightmare world, classic cinema. I guess these idiots saw subtitles and panicked! Oh well, their loss...

NO!!!

If you people think this was the worst film of the decade or the worst film ever for just 2007-08 then you obviously dont see many films. I am in no way suggesting this film is some sort of masterpiece but it was engaging and at least somewhat entertaining. The fact that the main actress is smoking hot doesnt hurt either.

I could easily come up with a hundred films that were far wose than this film just in the 2007-08 period. In all honesty I really dont understand why people make these pointless worse ever threads. Is it that your completly incapable of describing how much you disliked a film without labeling it as the worse ever or is it that you just like to exaggerate how bad a film is to try and get your point across?

You want to see a film a million times worse than this film go and see Meet the Spartans.

There is no doubt a smokin hot actress can make a film more enjoyable, that is if your a normal male whose has an interest in such things. You acting like you find this point incredibly hard to believe or that filmmakers are not already aware of such thing. Ask yourself why Hollywood in general has so many insanely beautiful women working in the industry instead of a bunch of plain, boring or even ugly females. Talk about being utterly oblivious to one of the most obvious facts in all of film making.

By the way I never said it was a crap film and I specifically said that it was engaging and somewhat entertaining. There is a big difference between a smoking hot female making an ok film that much better and a smoking hot female making an utter pile of trash entertaining. although it really doesn't surprise me that you cant understand the pretty dramatic difference.

I don't know if it was the worst film of the decade but its unbelievably bad

You'll notice I did put a question mark in the original title of this thread...so to hold some kind of forensic debate over whether any worse films have come out since the year 2000 seems to be missing the point somewhat. Fools. All I would say on that note is that the advantage films such as Meet the Spartans have over this one is that, although they may be completely awful, at least you know what you're letting yourself in for; they don't try and appear all clever and 'edgy' like this steaming pile of crapola did.

>Clearly, the guy behind the above comment has no knowledge of film whatsoever.

Clearly you do have knowledge of film, though it comes at the expense of charm ! What's up with Asia and(REC)anyway ? I can find space for them amidst the Fellini marathons...
