In reply to the discussion: Ever watch a movie that was so bad you couldn't finish it? [View all]pink-o

When that bus took forever to fall from the bridge, I just wanted to go up to the screen and push it in the water.
Also, there is NOTHING worse than lazy writing, and this movie had it in spades. When they all fall to the floor, defeated over some obscure solution that didn't work, and they're ready to throw in the towel--when SUDDENLY Ellen Page jumps to her feet and cries out: "Wait! We haven't tried _________ yet!" and they all jump up and are re-energized and OF COURSE it works.
Whatever "it" was: I could never figure out what they were doing. Only that I sat thru until the end like an idiot--and with how much the movie obsfucated, the ending was TOTALLY predictable. Yawners!!!!

The worst movie ever IMO, but I got through it with much use of the FF button

I should've realized that movie was going to be boring when the book itself was boring as hell

Top Gun...a macho barf-fest; although trying to pass off American F-5 fighters as Migs was cute.

Not so many, as I tend to be pretty fussy about what I watch in the first place; BUT
