When I read “The Shipping News” I thought it was the worst book I had ever read. I read it to the end just to make sure I was right. And I was right. It saved me the price of admission when the movie came out.
The worst movie I ever saw was No Country for Old Men. It just seemed like a bunch of unrelated things happening, the bad guy doesn’t get caught, and the ending was more abrupt and meaningless than the ending of The Sopranos.
When I went to see “Jaws” at the movie house I thought it was going to be a documentary but it reached out and grabbed me by the throat all the way through. However when I watched it recently I could see it was pretty corny.
I do this sometimes. But, I keep watching and hope that the story will improve. It usually doesn’t. There was a doomsday series that started with a boring premiere episode. I never watched any more.
I tried my hand at writing once and learned early on that you have to grab the reader’s interest in the first page or you will lose out. I even tried writing an episode for Star Trek Deep Space Nine and worked hard making that first scene a real grabber.
The movie has a half life for me watching it. If it’s not good by then, I dump it into the giant category of waste of my time. Then again, I am not the movie connoisseur of Brutus’s caliber……
You never know if such a movie doesn’t have an absolutely spectacular surprise ending. You probably will never know because you won’t stay awake to see the end. :)

You would have to see everything with Shore, Depp, and Carrey before making that determination.

The worst movie I have ever seen is ‘Frances’. Maybe because I’m not so smart: my girlfriend liked it

The real reason: He lost the remote and doesn’t want to walk over to the TV and turn it off.

If you already know it’s bad, then why are you watching it? :/

There’s a “Seinfeld” episode where Elaine is watching “The Notebook”, I think. She is so funny.

That makes sense. You never know if all of a sudden a good plot twist will break out. Or maybe a nap.

That’s what fast forward is for, you can stop it when something looks good watch the first 10 minutes and the last 3 minutes

Brutus is watching television for entertainment:- There’s his problem! Tv is for politics, Bad news (politics), weather, commercials and napping.
clayusmcret Premium Member about 3 years ago
He must be watching Jack Nicholson in About Schmidt. 2 hours and 5 minutes of the single most most wasted time in my life.

Didn’t Mike and the Bots have to watch a terrible movie completely before getting a refund?

I think Brutus is only being fair by watching the movie till the end before he makes a final judgement.

There’s 2 hours of your life you won’t get back. Time, once spent, can never be refunded.

The worse one I saw at a theater ? The Omen III. I would have walked out on it, but didn’t want to wake up my date.

I think the movie with the real reputation as the worst movie ever made was " Planet 9 From Outer Space".
