How about the worst movie you've seen?

I've never heard anything but s&*t about Waterworld, and I ENJOYED it!! What do you think of THAT?? HUH??

Speedie: I too loved Waterworld, I didn't think it was bad at all. But, then just the thought of Kevin Costner having webbed toes probably did it for me! :$
I'll go even further out on that limb since no one had mentioned it . . . I loved Cast Away. I took everyone I knew to see this movie, I know it was the crash scene that did it for me (sick huh). I was sitting on the edge of my seat every time, almost like I was riding a roller coaster. Wilson did a fabulous job in the part that he played.

does anyone else here have the guts to admit to liking a movie everyone else hated??

The most recent that I can think I of that I really enjoyed, but most poeple seem to think were just stupid would be Josie and the Pussycats and Dude! Where's My Car? They are both so damn funny though.
The problem is that some people don't watch movies very carefully. A lot of little jokes that could make the movie are missed if you aren't really watching.

Darwin: I'll torture you so slowly you'll think it's a career. I'll kill your friends, your family, and the bitch you took to the prom.
Hawk: Betty-Jo Biarsky? I can get you an address on that.
George: Rome - I had my first bare-handed strangulation here. Communist politician. God, I miss Communism! The Red Threat? People were scared, the agency had respect, and I got laid every night.

>OK Bill Von, no need to be coy. Let's hear about it.
Actually, I posted this on r.s about two years ago, but here it is again:
About five years back, I made a nude jump for my 30th birthday. I was just going to do a solo, as I'm not much of an exhibitionist. Taz wasn't doing anything, and asked me if I wanted to do a two-way. I warned him that I wouldn't be wearing any clothes. Taz turned around and said "Did you hear that sh*t?" Well, one thing led to another and soon I had a six-way with video.
The jump went OK. At breakoff Steve chased me and got a most impressive shot of me tracking across the sun. The main reason it was most impressive was that I had a fanny pack with a pair of shorts in it, and during my track it slid down to the point that I looked very well endowed, at least in silhouette. It was good for ten minutes of laughs back at the DZ.
I didn't hear anything for a few years, and forgot about it. One day I got a call from Steve. "Bill! Do you get the playboy channel?" I didn't, but he told me that I was on it. It happened like this:
Midnight Video (or some name like that) approached Steve and wanted to buy some video. They wouldn't tell him what for, but described the scenes they wanted - a skydiver's eye view of skydiving. He said sure, made up a tape, and made a list of people who would have to sign releases, since they were in the videos.
"Whoah, uh, we don't want to deal with any releases or anything," one of them said. "How about skydiving videos with no one else in the picture?" Steve sighed, said OK, and created a tape of solo exits, his canopy opening, the ground, landings etc. He also sent them a demo reel of other stuff, mainly from the first reel. The nude jump was on there.
Well, they ended up using both reels anyway. The movie was called "Hungry for you." In it, a thrillseeker uses a virtual reality machine to skydive, and sure enough, my dive was most of the 30 second skydiving segment. Then he lands (the scenery changing rather rapidly from Southern California to a maple forest) a scantily clad woman appears out of the woods and . . . well, use your imagination. Funny, that never seems to happen to _me_ after I land.

A few years later I was up in Lost Prairie, and Amy and I were talking about that tape. "Some day I'm going to be running for school board or something and someone's going to produce a copy of this tape, and say 'explain this, mr. school board candidate!'" I mentioned to her. She laughed. I went home at the end of the boogie, and a few weeks later got an email from Michelle Hoyle.
"Hey Bill," she wrote. "I was just channel surfing the other night and I saw you on the playboy channel!" (Ever notice how no one ever _watches_ the playboy channel, they just happen to see something while channel surfing?) Anyway, I asked her how she could possibly know it was me. She said she wasn't sure, but it looked like my track and my rig. She had me going for about a week before she told me Amy had put her up to it.
