I may be in the minority with this opinion on the board, but the voting membership has evidently agreed with me on this point in the past: These sorts of movies just aren't very interesting choices. The people that make them know they are crap, and they are marketed to lowest common denominator audiences. It is much more interesting to watch a movie that is intended to be good, but just misfires in 100 different ways, some of them laughable.
Naturally, every good joke in this film is in the trailer, so if you watch it, you've seen everything worth seeing in the movie. The Black-eyed Peas joke was reasonably inspired, as was the chihuahua joke. Apart from that, the people who made it will succeed in their intent of making a stupid movie.

That why I keep going back "Freddy Got Fingered" -- No doubt it was Tom Green's intention to make a stupid movie, and he did indeed make one, and then took all the "dishonors" for that year. I find s*** like that movie (and anything with Seltzerberg's name on it) being greenlit a thousand times more insulting than something that was intended to be good, but failed. Is there no punishment for who those in Hollywood who aren't even trying?

Freddy Got Fingered... Wait a minute! Didn't HeadRAZZBerry claim to personally hate that movie worse than any other Worst Picture winner by far?

Among my favorite comedies are BORAT, KUNG POW:ENTER THE FIST and DUDE,WHERE'S MY CAR? Those were supposed to be stupid too,but only BORAT had excellent reviews.
RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry" I, too, consider BORAT among the best comedies of the last few years, but would argue that what Vits calls its "stupidity" was overlaid on a message of tolerance (and a level of kind-hearted satire) that is all but unparalleled in recent movies... |

Yes, HeadRAZZBerry did claim to personally hate Freddy Got Fingered worse than any other Worst Picture winner by far -- so why did it get top dishonors, yet Seltzerberg gets away without so much as a slap on the wrist?
RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: As stupid and lazy as the "Seltzer-Berg" movies are, even they do not achieve the level of noxiousness achieved by FREDDY -- In which a newborn baby is swung around in an OR by its umbilical cord, a horse is manually masturbated by Tom Green, a crippled woman in a wheelchair is whacked mercilessly with a cane, and an elephant is made to ejaculate into Rip Torn's face. Rarely does such a combination of sick/unfunny humor collect like a clot of moldy hair in a shower drain as clogged the screen in FINGERED... |

And don't forget about the Jackass movies. In a way, they were also made to be stupid. |

Yeah, but I don't think the first two Jackass movies got nods/wins, so why should this next one? They really shouldn't even count as movies, they are just 90 minute episodes of the TV series released in theaters.

Jacka** 3D... I'd say it deserves a forum here, but I wouldn't suggest any nominations... yet. Maybe wait for the reviews before considering nominations... UPDATE: On topic... Just 10 short hours and Vampires Suck will be released. Yet it doesn't feel like every good thing is gone. At least the trailer had half a laugh (unlike the #5 Worst Film of 2008, Disaster Movie)...

I imagine the Twilight haters are going to be torn when this turns out to be just as terrible as the movies it's satirizing....

I would disagree that Tom Green intentionally made Freddy Got Fingered to be stupid. I think it was just a reflection of the fact that his sense of humor is so retarded that there wasn't any other possible outcome.
On another note that isn't terribly relevant, I don't disagree with Head Razz real often, but someday, I wish somebody could explain to me what the appeal of Borat really was. I don't recall a single scene in the entire movie that caused me to laugh out loud. I thought it was dreadful. If a legitimate case could be made that it was one of the better comedies of the past few years, and that might actually be true, it is much more a sad commentary on the state of the comedy genre than a compliment to the movie.

Well, one of the problems with all comedies is unfunny jokes. Screenwriters are the ones who write unfunny jokes. So, Sascha Baron Cohen got rid of the screenwriters. So, you should have a great comedy. . . .
As I hope you can tell, I didn't find Borat all that funny either.

Yeah, the Twilight haters are going to pay money to see their most hated movie be ripped to shreds, but they will leave disappointed when they realize the jokes in Sucks aren't anything they couldn't (or hadn't already) thought up themselves...

Yeah, I would have to agree with you on the fact Tom Green's sense of humor is pretty retarded ... although that is a huge insult to actual retarded people.
And I think the allure of Borat wasn't what HE was doing, but the REACTIONS of the people he was interacting with that made the movie funny. I wouldn't say it was a comedic genius, but people seem to enjoy watching other, everyday people being dumbfounded by watching Cohen being ... colorful.

Getting rid of writers kinda makes sense. But it's that logic that has lead us to the current state of reality TV we're all living with. Those shows are only funny due to the sheer stupidity of the people who appear on them, and the fact they will sink to any low to get their 15 minutes of fame.
