You...may have a point there. That film was fan-fucking-tastic. Easily one of the best films I've seen a l-o-n-g time.
Most laughably absurd plot for a movie you've ever heard in your life?

I agree. I haven't been that astounded after leaving a cinema in eleven years (The Matrix, American Beauty).Vigormortis said:
But this thread is not about good movies! I therefore present North. A successful child from a successful, if disfynctional family petitions a court to legally emancipate him and succeeds. Then he goes around the world, meeting tons of embarassing and offensive stereotypes, surviving attempted assassinations ordered by a ten-year-old media mogul, and finally realizes that he's better off at home.
Well, look at the "Best and Worst movies with Angelina Jolie" on MetaCritic. She's a well-known actress, but look at the profits (or should I say losses) that her movies have got.P.Tsunami said:
Either way, getting only $15 million in profit for one movie won't put these guys out of work. All their other movies have gotten $50 million in profits etc, though it seems that their profits have decreased and decreased over time, so maybe they've reconsidered?
And by the way, have they even announced a new movie?
I agree that it's not a career ender by any means. I'm not going to make that claim, cause that would be absurd. Hollywood is a bit more forgiving than you'd think. M. Night Shyamalan is still making movies, even though he brings in less and less over the years. It fluctuates a bit, but there's a very clear downward trend: The Sixth Sense made 630 million. His next three made between 140-300 million. Lady in the Water -lost- 2 million. Avatar:TLA has yet to recuperate its budget. Currently, it's at a negative 128 million. -That- is a showstopper, and I wouldn't be surprised if M. Night may have trouble finding work after this. The Disaster Movie guys are probably fine, although if they continue releasing films that perform poorly by Hollywood standards, Tinseltown might very well find some other guys to release their dumbed down parody movies.Fraught said:
As for upcoming films, their new film is called Vampires Suck; stunning creativity in the naming department, for their standards. It opens in August.
Edit: I checked out the Metacritic page you recommended. Interesting reading, but all it really tells us it that a single actress, no matter her star power, can rarely make or break a movie on her own. It means Jolie has made some bad casting calls, but probably no more.
Pffthahhahah. Vampires Suck? Oh God...P.Tsunami said:
...anyway, the tagline is so ironic. "From the Guys Who Couldn't Sit Through Another Vampire Movie". Ironic considering I cannot sit through their dismal shit.
Past 3 decades? Where did they go? You're incredibly delusional. A lot of the best movies of all time have been made in the last 3 decades.Vigormortis said:
Avatar. I know people say it's amazing, and it sure does look good, but the story really just didn't do it for me. Good looks don't really make a movie good. Some older movies seem to me to be better than newer ones because their story, not because their special effects and graphics and eye candy.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, best plot ever, one of my fav movies of all time. The plot is just Hunter S. Thompson and his 'attorney' are in Vegas to cover a race, but that's only about 10 mins of the film. The real plot is that they just brought a suitcase of every drug imaginable and then go wild. Its amazing. There is barely a conclusion. Its amazing, its just experience with drug after drug, until they basically just take them all.
Best film ever.
Best film ever.
A film called Six String Samurai - completely real, but sounds crazy....listen...
There was a nuclear holocaust, and now Elvis Presley is King of Las Vegas. But when he dies, only a mysterious badass who looks suspiciously like Buddy Holly can go to Vegas and take his crown, by playing rockabilly music and using a Samurai sword stashed inside his guitar. Yeah. But wait, there's more. He is being stalked on his mission by Death, who looks suspiciously like Slash, who is trying to complete his collection of guitar picks.
Yeah.
That actually got made.

Awesome nobody has said it yet, the worst plot for the movie was Knowing, they just sliced things together here's a few spoilers just incase some people haven't seen the movie but want to.
God that was a terrible movie...
After they get the paper with all of the numbers written on it he just walks by it and goes hmm... picks it up and out of all of the numbers he finds the 9/11 ones out of all of the numbers? Who would have guessed? And then the plane scene where he is looking at the paper then he just randomly looks at his GPS and goes ahaa! I knew it the remaining numbers are coordinates!
