Yikes! Awkward!

I read on Internet Movie Database that she got $13,600,000 for B-I-2

Response from Head RAZZberry: Actually, B-S-2 arose from a long-standing lawsuit that Sharon Stone filed against the original film's producers, with whom she had signed a "pay or play contract" in 1993. When a decade went by and B-S-2 still hadn't been made, Stone took them to court -- and won a $14 million settlement. Rather than flush that kind of money down the toilet, Carolco decided to produce the film, with an estimated budget of about $70 million...and in the process, lost more than 3 times what they've have had to forfeit if they'd just paid off Stone and walked away...

Ah, yes. Point taken. Yeah, that did all happen in one night. And as for Showgirls, was its director, Paul Verhoeven, the first RAZZIE loser to accept that award, or was there another person who accepted their award before he did?

Anyways, as for some of my personal Berry Favorite Bad Movies, I have some of them. Under the Cherry Moon is one of them, only because I'm a fan of Prince, well his music actually. I know Prince won 3 RAZZIES for that film. He has also received 7 other RAZZIE nominations though. I also know Under the Cherry Moon did tie with  Howard the Duck for Worst Picture back in 1986, and that was like the first time that's happened. Then there was another year where two films tied for Worst Picture, and I'm sure you know all about that, as well as those RAZZIE noms Prince has received.

I still remember back in 2003, when one film came one award shy of tying Battlefield and Showgirls for the record: Gigli, which "won" (and I think deserved) 6 Razzie Awards. Battlefield Earth won 7 Razzies, but only had 8 nominations. Showgirls still holds the record for most Razzie nominations, not to mention it's our Head RAZZberry's favorite bad movie: It had 13 nominations, and "won" 7 spray-painted statuettes.

Response from Head RAZZberry: As long as we're talking RAZZIE trivia and GIGLI, it does hold one historic distinction -- GIGLI is still the only film ever to "win" ALL 6 TOP RAZZIES (Worst Picture, Worst Actor, Worst Actress, Worst Screen Couple, Worst Director and Worst Screenplay). Guess you could say it's the RAZZIE equivalent of IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT (the first film ever to win all five top Oscars).

And while we're on the subject of my Berry Favorite Bad Movies, SHOWGIRLS I think personifies what we're all about, but I'd have to also include MOMMIE DEAREST and Pia Zadora's LONELY LADY on any short list of The All-Time Funniest RAZZIE "Dramas."

The Duff Sisters and Kristanna Loken don't have a lot of talent, but Sharon Stone was just really bad in this one. This film was even worse than the first Basic Instinct, though now both Basic Instinct movies each have Razzie noms, but the first one also got a couple Oscar noms back in 1992.

Oh, and this is my first post, so, it looks like I'm gonna be climbing aboard.

I agree that she deserves a Razzie nomination this year. She gave a terrific performance in the original, and she was nominated for a Golden Globe (I thought she deserved an Oscar nomination). But I just watched the trailer for BI2, and it looks like she's forcing herself to act sexy (which was so natural in the first movie) and it isn't working. She is too old, and has obviously forgotten how she acted 14 years ago.

But I don't think she should win. The award should go to a truly talentless actress like the Duff Sisters or Kristanna Loken.

Granted, they both smell like last weeks bird dropping;but what I find to be the comical of cosmic Irony was that Larry was designed to be a higher Grade of dog droppings and EXPECTED to perform the way it did.

On the other hand I am pretty damn sure that even through we at this forum (along with I am sure the producers of this sleaze fest)expected BI2 to be as bad as it was, it earned a WHOLE lot less (especially with the 70m budget, 14m going to Ms. Stone) than what was expected at a whopping $5,851,188 in the US alone!!

Larry made $15,655,665 and just about covered its production budget (witch was 17m). It will most likely eventually show a profit once it is released on DVD; where with BI2 (even the "unrated" edition) will ever come close to showing some greenbacks.

Even Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector has got 2 more things going for it than this move...

1) Larry beat out Sharon Stone at the Box Office for her "Murderous Performance" in B-I2.

2) He was way better as a voice over in the movie "Cars" (I am hoping he will stick to VO from now on).

Granted, Larry blows chunks, but I still think it's hilarious that he beat the crap out of B-I2 (at least domestically) .
