Robot jox is hilariously irredeemable. I watched it again recently and it was horrible. I’m going to watch it again later in life when I forget that because I’ve convinced myself it is not.
Super Troopers. It is such a ‘I dont know how we got the money for this script but here we fucking go’ movie. Good fun, good laughs.
Godzilla vs Megalon
It’s been years since I saw it, but it was my jam as a kid. Some sea people are mad and send their giant beetle thing, Megalon, to attack the surface, the sea people (Seatopians) also get help from aliens that send their kaiju, Gigan, to assist. A size changing robot, Jet Jaguar, gets his ass beat but Godzilla comes to the rescue in the nick of time. The end battle is a straight up WWE tag team matchup with kaijus!
Plus the movie ends with Jet Jaguar’s bad ass theme song and a freeze frame!
Tetsuo: The Iron Man.
Pure. Fucking.
MagicInsanity.At first glance I thought this said “The Iron Giant” and I was about to throw hands
How is Tetsuo ‘objectively terrible’?
Personally, no idea, it’s a masterpiece.
Ask all the people I’ve gotten to watch that movie, though, and they could outline what they think makes it terrible.
Monsters vs Aliens. One of the most fun and referenceable movies of all time.
thank you so much!! just had a blast rewatching it after not having seen it for a long time. i guess the “code brown” joke (the president shitting his pants) is more current than ever.
I once made a list of 7 movies that fit this criteria.
The Room, because duh. This movie is great because it is so terrible and sincerely thinks it is great. The story behind the movie is just as fantastic. If you must, get a hold of The Disaster Artist as an audio book. It is fantastic. Ignore and forget that piss tier James Franco movie that the book was based on. The book is so much better and it is hysterical to listen to in Greg’s own voice + his Tommy impressions are perfect.
Winter’s Tale - a supposed Adaptation of a Shakespeare play or something. In reality it is the most chaotic and hilariously terrible movie I can think of, complete with terrible Colin Firth haircut and Will Smith as an edge lord Devil. And so many more great things. I had a blast watching this one.
Jupiter Ascending. If I remember correctly, it was made by the siblings who made the Matrix and it is the most nonsensical sci-fi turd ever, but man is it funny. Unintentionally, might I add. I don’t remember much from this film other than laughing so hard I was crying.
The Wicker Man woth Nick Cage. I love the original. That one is genuinely great and terrifying. The Nick Cage one is a clown show and no one can tell me that it isn’t funny to see Nick Cage in a bear suit, punching women.
Show Girls. For obvious reasons. A total and utter mishandling of a very serious and at times horrific subject matter, but mishandled so poorly it surpasses being offensive and falls straight into hilarity.
Breaking Dawn Part 2. Martin Sheens laugh. Renesmee doll that was replaced with CGI horror. Grown man imprinting on a baby. Martin Sheen’s laugh. Fakeout fight scene that made all the dead serious fangirls scream and cry in the cinema on release. “You nicknamed my daughter after the loc nest monster??” Also, Martin Sheen’s laugh.
The Death Note Netflix Adaptation. I invited my anime friends to a watch along when this movie came out initially, because I knew what would happen when I did. The anger and outrage was interspersed with bewildered and hysterical laughter and replays of scenes that were so bad, nobody could believe their eyes. I was just there to sow the chaos at the time and harvest the reactions. It was wonderful.
Bonus movie: Velvet Buzzsaw, but it doesn’t count because I genuinely think this one is a great satire and I genuinely enjoy the movie. It’s just that almost everybody else who’s seen it, seem to loathe it with a passion. So it’s a reverse Killers of the Flower Moon for me, where everybody seem to love it, while I think it is total and utter ass. In both cases, I am left confused at the public opinion and I will stick with mine.
What do your friends think of Netflix’s One Piece? I liked the Avatar show, too, but One Piece I thought was excellent.
VHF
is it objectively terrible if it was designed to be so. My philosiraptor might be having a stroke.
(I assumed you meant UHF)
John dies at the end, I really like the book series and some of the lines are great but overall a poorly edited garbage movie
Most of the Halloween movies, resident evil, and underworld are sloppy messes I’m here for just to see how weird they go
And a bunch of the cheap, pulp horror like Troma and actiony Neil Breen that aren’t on most streaming services
Anything by Jason Pargin is awesome. The dude basically created the millenial internet discourse with Cracked. He’s now pretty big on things like TikTok and YouTube and I highly recommend following him.
I am also a subscriber, I read John Dies At The End when it was a free book being discussed and shared when Jason was on SomethingAwful way back in the 2000’s, it was a great piece of easy-to-digest fiction that touched on a lot of themes and memes that were going around at the time so it gained a level of notoriety because of the creepiness factor of how much seemed to connect to headlines at the time.
Jason is just a good author and good at tying together a lot of wildly varied ideas into one point, better than most at it without coming off as conspiratorial, I think he deserves a lot more subscribers and reward for staying so consistent. (Other than about his name that is.)
I loved the John dies at the end series, I didn’t know they were adapted into a movie!
If you loved the book, you would probably not like the movie.
Holy shit, there are others! I fucking loved the movie, considering the budget they did an OK job, it’s only like 1/3 of the book that has been randomized, but it gives that taste of the truly strange that is so rare to find. It’s a trash ass film, though, through and through. Great cast, though.
The books are my all time favorite series, I can’t wait for the next one. Have you read any of Jason Pargin’s other books? They’re all bangers.
Yeah! The Zoey Ashe series is great too. I haven’t read the last book he released yet but I do really enjoy his stories and style.
Black Box Of Doom was really good, I highly recommend it. It’s very different from his other books as far as setting, since it’s set in the regular normal non-lovecraftian/Blade Runner world, but the story is just as gonzo as his other books, I had a blast reading it.
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance - one of the worst Marvel adaptations, but also one of the most unintentionally funny movies of all time.
Nic Cage trying to stop an old man from getting inside a little boy?
Establishing that any vehicle Ghost Rider drives gets a hellish makeover so they can have a flaming Bagger 288 for an action set piece?
Pure cinema.
Spiderman 3
I feel like people got the wrong idea based on their criticism of Peter during his descent into evil.
How’s the pie?
The Core
It’s so fucking stupid that it is like a Trainwreck you can’t look away from.
I wouldn’t describe The Core as a trainwreck. The premise is the dumbest shit imaginable but somehow they managed to make an enjoyable film. The cast is great. It makes for a solid background movie to help you get though house chores or other menial work.
And I love it. Its the core or the martian if you don’t know what to watch.
Battlefield Earth.
Travolta prancing around a B movie set high AF on scientology will never not be peak.
All the movies by Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill.
It doesn’t matter which one, because the plot is always the same.
I rented Doom with The Rock and Karl Urban when it went to video and proceeded to watch it like 6 times.
Street Fighter
It’s terrible. Almost nobody can act. I suspect none of the writers had even looked at the game beyond a few screenshots. The script and plot are laughable.
But then Raul Julia shows up. He knows this is crap. But his kids love the games. He’s literally dying of stomach cancer in every scene. He knows this is his last movie. He’s going to fucking enjoy it, and so are you.
For you it’s a guilty pleasure, for others it’s just Tuesday.
“Quick, change the channel!”
That was beautiful *cries*
