TUSK was the worst film I have ever had the misfortune of suffering through.

And it immediately became one of my faves when I viewed it. Weird how differently people are wired.

In all fairness I think the sequels were worse...:lol

That's a good thing because they were awful.

I don't know if I've replied to this thread already or not.
I have 3:
1) The Star Wars prequels. All 3 of them. Worst movies ever made. 10 minutes of cool FX spread across 6 hours does nothing to redeem the awfulness of these wretched films.
2) Pearl Harbor. I have boycotted Michael Bay ever since. He will never see another dime from me. This movie took a giant steaming turd on the sacrifices and suffering made by the men and women who were there. It's a travesty.
3) Windtalkers. Lets make a movie about Navajo code talkers, but instead of having it be about Navajo code talkers, let's make it about Nicolas Cage with his shirt off.

See, Windtalkers for me falls into that category of "So bad it's good." Partially because of Nicolas Cage Nicolas Caging all over the screen, but also because it's so clearly a by-the-numbers war movie. What's that otherwise nameless squaddie? You're gonna go back home after the war and start a yoghurt business with your best girl? That's cute, because now WAR MOVIE LAWS DICTATE THAT YOU DIE.
If I've learned ANYTHING from war and cop movies, it's this: NEVER talk about what you're gonna do when you retire or after the war. Never mention how many days you're short or until your retirement. Don't talk about how you'd like to visit a place you've never been to, ESPECIALLY if it's Montana. Don't talk about how you're gonna start a business doing XYZ when you get home.
You wanna survive a war movie, you follow the wisdom of one Lt. Ronald Spiers and recognize that you are already dead. You do not have a future, so musing about what you'll do later is pointless.
You can apply similar teachings to Joss Whedon shows, where the two safest paths are to never fall in love, and never actually be happy or have life going well for you. If either of those happens, watch out, because the Hand of Joss will surely smite you. Also, don't become an audience favorite. You'll live longer, even if you get less screen time.

This is cracking me up! I love this!
Oh, and +1 for Lt. Spiers, and +1 more for Whedonverse.
I agree with Pearl Harbor, Bay pretty much spit on the graves of not just the American dead but the Japanese dead too. I stupidly gave him a chance with Transformers but after crapping on veterans and my childhood he needs to go suck an egg. I'd gladly sacrifice him and jj abrams to get Nimoy back.
It is amazing how different we can be when it comes to art. I loved Moulin Rouge. I thought Pearl Harbor was OK, but certainly not terrible. As much as I hate the Star Wars prequels I wouldn't call them "the worst I've ever seen".
My current top terrible movie is Cowboys and Aliens. What makes it so bad is the amazing talent in front of and behind the camera. This should have been a great popcorn flick. Instead it gets my vote as worst movie ever. Just painful to watch.

Batman and Robin...absolutely horrid
World War Z. I loved the book, and I can usually suffer through a movie, just because I like to finish them, ESPECIALLY if I enjoy the book but not this one. I have tried to watch it 4 times, fallen asleep twice, turned off once, and just plain old got caught up in an alternative activity the forth time. It is horrible.
Couldn't agree more with this. Pearl Harbor was awful! I was so pissed during the hospital scenes. Let's not show wounded soldiers and sailors, let's cover the lense with vasaline, so that we don't have to show the real cost of war, and distract from the action and romance. Gaahh!

Unfortunately, this seems to be the way my real life works out, also.
The only thing I took from that movie was Mr. Knowitall tripping and accidentally shooting himself in the head. I don't think I've ever laughed and face palmed at the same time for that long. It's like... we have Zombies in this movie that are out to get you! So when it comes to killing this scientist dude, someone must have said "Wait, wait. We can't have him be killed by Zombies. That would be too predictable." So instead of a predictable death by zombies, we have a totally random death by trip'n shoot. THAT is when I knew WWZ was a very special king of bad movie. Total randomness ≠ Cohesive story telling.
