Diss-Cussion of EPIC MOVIE

There's one more peer of mine with bad taste that I forgot to mention. She had, arguably, the worst taste of anyone I've meet, save for my dad. She liked every single Sandra Bullock movie, especially "The Lake House" and "Hope Floats". She's also, a fan of "Catwoman" and "Spice World". From what I gather, the oldest movie that she saw on her own was "Scarface". The class we were taking was Communications, and the teacher showed us several movies. Five movies older than "Scarface" that we watched that were: "Modern Times", "Casablanca", and the original "Star Wars" trilogy. With the exception, of "Casablanca", she hated all of them. Her favorite movie is "Sweet Home Alabama"! 

 

Admittedly, there were some movies that I  thought were pretty cool when I was 15 that I can't believe I even sat through. Oh sure, Raquel Welch looked pretty hot in that sea-shell bikini in One Million B.C. (that was the name of the movie, not the year it was made, you whippersnappers), but it was still dreadful. So I don't want to be too hard on the younger participants here, but I would certainly challenge moviewizguy to copy down that top fifty he created above, seal it away in a lock box, and look at it again in, say 30 years. The bet here is that three decades from now, he'll spend a lot of time shaking his head in disbelief!

 

I guess you could say this was an "EPICLY "BAD" MOVIE"!!!

I bet there's gonna be 150 more sequels!

I got more tales of kids with bad taste! Today in TV Production, I was getting grilled by kids on movies. I got all of my questions right. I also gave my opinions of the movies. Most of the kids were girls, and all they mentioned were insipid chick flicks. The aforemented "The Lake House", "Prime", "You've Got Mail", "While You Were Sleeping", and "The Family Stone" were all mentioned. But, my favorite reaction was for the Keanu Reeves/Charlize Theron remake of "Sweet November". A girl said that was her favorite movie. I mentioned that I thought it was horrific. I, also, mentioned the film's three Razzie nominations. She seemed mad.

Also, "Meet The Spartans" is gonna blow big time!

Originally posted by SchumacherH8ter Not to bash on my peers, but they have bad taste. A bunch of kids say that the movie currently under disscussion is the "funniest movie of the year". Then, there was the girl that sat next to me in Math. She loved "The Lake House" and is a big fan of the Wayans. Note: she was failing Math. I sat next to her and graded a lot of the Problems Of The Day, and she usually got a 0 or a 1, while I got a 3 (the maximum score). Then, there's the kids that thought that "Freddy Got Fingered" was "the bomb". Well it was a bomb! Note: I mean no ill will to my peers, except one of the "Epic Movie" kids. She annoyed the hell out of me.

                                                                                               

"Prime" blew. Not even Meryl Streep and the drop-dead-gorgeous Uma Thurman could save it.

I have also just seem this... thing. I hesitate to call it a movie. And it was rubbish. Granted, it still wasn't the worst movie I have ever seen. That movie remains Doogal.

If I were to posit a reason why Epic Movie is so epically bad, to regurgitate the overused pun, I would say it's because they didn't write enough joke.

Yes, i know. The movie is pretty much just jokes from end-to-end. The problem is, most of them fail. (Not all of them. It shames me, but I harrumphed a few times here and there) The dirty little secret in script writing, particularly comedy writing is to always write a lot more jokes than you'll need. This way, when you cut out most of them, what's left will be the creme de la creme. Well, not only did the writers here not do that, they repeated many of the jokes in hopes that repetition will make unfunny jokes funny.

Unfortunately, for what this movie was, it had decent enough production values and a cast of incredibly good sports. If they'd actually managed to write a funny script, then maybe we wouldn't be talking about this movie here.

In other words, I agree with the nomination for this movie in the Worst Screenplay category. It will have flaccid competition and may not win, but it definitely deserves the nod since it's the script that really steered this movie wrong.

Originally posted by thomsonmg2000 When this movie 1st came out, I thought I should rent this when it comes out on DVD, thinking that it was a "regular" quality spoof along the line of the PG-13 Scary Movies.But upon reading the hateful reviews for this movie, however, I said "hell no, not watching this". I really wished this piece of crap "won" more stuff, like worst director or worst picture, instead of worst actress (Carmen Electra). BTW, here's a nice link completely demolishing this movie. Makes me glad that I have not watched Epic(failure) Movie http://www.agonybooth.com/recaps/Epic_Movie_2007.aspx

I was appalled when I found out it dodged a Worst Picture nod, because
Norbit was seeming funnier by the second as I was watching this
garbage dump of a movie..

I have never seen EPIC MOVIE, but after what you guys are saying, I dont think i'll bother. It'll help to save me some money.
