Worst Films ever made! - Page 6

Elvellon · 06-17-2002, 06:39 AM

Yes, but unbelievably as it seems there is more. The Director actually filmed the thing but kept the lens of the cameras covered. Everything was done as a regular film, except for that; the actors actually played their roles dressed appropriately for it on appropriate stage settings. Of course the result was a scandal.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 06-17-2002, 01:51 PM

Sounds terrible...why would they make a movie like that?

Elvellon · 06-17-2002, 04:08 PM

Who can really know?

But, to me, it has to do with the nature of some of the European movie industry. Contrary to what happens in the USA, in Europe the State has an important role supporting the industry. This allows small countries to be able to preserve their movie industries, that otherwise would have been wiped out by having to compete with Hollywood.
It allows to the production of some non-commercial but interesting films, with a decisive cultural or artistic bent. Unfortunately it also allows, on occasion, to the production of really odd (or plainly bizarre) films. The director of this film is well known for his eccentricity, but this time he took it a little too far. It was a scandal and he may well have shot his own foot.

It sounds like it... I mean, the film/movie industry is a visual medium... if it ain't that, then what the heck is it?

Eruviel Greenleaf · 06-17-2002, 06:35 PM

a combination of visual and audio? visual being key.

BeardofPants · 06-17-2002, 09:33 PM

Why do people keep answering my rhetorical questions?

The Blare Witch Project was really boring and stupid.
All they did was cuss and fight. And maybe hit a scary part or too.
Though the end was kinda scary.

Because I like answering rhetorical questions. You might say it's a hobby of mine

Blair Witch Project...at least the half I saw, was terrible.

Rei · 06-19-2002, 07:22 PM

Although there are a lot of crappy movies out now this is my list of 5 movies that never should have been made.

#5. Black Knight (What was Martin Lauwrence thinking?)
#4. Scarlett (Sequel to Gone with the Wind. You can't replace Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh, you just can't)
#3. Not Another Teen Movie (No explanation needed)
#2. Citizen Kane (Important and controversial, yes, good, no)
#1. Plan Nine From Outer Space (It was this horrible black and white movie about flying saucers that looked more like flying twinkies!)

No... The question is: DOES Martin Lawrence think?

Beg to differ... I LOVE this movie!

Rei · 06-19-2002, 10:29 PM

Really?! I could barely stay awake through it.

Again, I must agree with BoP. I love that movie too!

Rei · 06-19-2002, 11:11 PM

I don't know why, I just didn't like it, but maybe I should try watching it again...

You're in trouble now, Rei.

I have to agree...and I didn't even see it.

I totally agree.

*insert drumroll*
*pales* But they're all looking at me...
(Sorry, it's late and I just got back from my third Spider-Man run.)

I can't say a thing about Citizen Kane, because I've never seen it. Maybe I should watch it, since I don't like not having an opinion.

Rei · 06-20-2002, 03:54 PM

Ack! Don't cleanse the world of me, it would be to clean!

I said it was imprtant, doesn' that count for something?!

I think you have to like it and not fall asleep, eh?

Rei · 06-20-2002, 06:36 PM

I didn't fall asleep, I stayed up to he very end when he was dying by the fire and all he could say was rosebud. (I think that was the name of his sled) I just didn't like it.
