We made an exception for CAPTAIN AMERICA. Clint took the bullet on that one, and as he has also suffered through Corman's FANTASTIC FOUR, it's a true badge of honor for him to award that film the "Worst Ever" title.<br /><br />We gave HOWARD THE DUCK a break for reasons I can't quite recall, but I think it had something to do with it being awesomely bad enough to be watchable as opposed to being true torture. STEEL was another one I considered Netflixing as we began narrowing our choices, but once we saw our emerging top ten, we realized it would have to be pretty bad to beat those. I was counting on the film being forgettable enough that no one would call me on it. Darn.<br /><br />Deaf Indian - ELECTRA is really bad, I agree. And this is coming from someone who likes Jennifer Garner. Clint HATES Daredevil too, but for some reason I find it watchable - particularly the director's cut. <br /><br />Unorthodox - Kopelson's comment may have been <i>intended</i> as an insult, but it definately feels like a back-handed insult that somehow becomes a compliment. Fincher recounts this somewhere on the Se7en commentary, if I remember correctly.<br /><br />Truthfully, we probably could have done a Top Twenty and still only scratched the surface. Doing this few let me skirt two questions: "which is worse: Superman III or Superman IV?" and "Is Batman Returns really any better than the two films that followed it?"<br /><br />I guess there's always next year.The Bitter Script Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575166527272639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-81007832865253580812009-12-29T11:34:46.350-08:002009-12-29T11:34:46.350-08:00I would slightly disagree with the Punisher (2003)...I would slightly disagree with the Punisher (2003) being on the list. Comparatively speaking, it was truer to the Garth Ennis rebirth than one might think. However, opinion included, I would have staked the Punisher Warzone (2008) piece to be a much worse depiction. One scene alone seals the deal, as Castle and his little buddy Linus seemingly switch roles/attitudes as Castle cries for the innocents and Linus attempts to calm him by stating they are collateral damage. This, never happens in the comic. It just made me feel like Frank was a bitch.Broken Synapsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16959043725842150473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-11925973198662196742009-12-29T10:20:55.529-08:002009-12-29T10:20:55.529-08:00That was a compliment by Kopelson, right?That was a compliment by Kopelson, right?Rudy Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13869858658467591832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-75007107176714365142009-12-29T09:40:49.066-08:002009-12-29T09:40:49.066-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Rudy Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13869858658467591832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-6288656550903523072009-12-29T09:12:36.452-08:002009-12-29T09:12:36.452-08:00Two more that are shooting fish in a barrel: HOWA...Two more that are shooting fish in a barrel: HOWARD THE DUCK and BARB WIRE.

Right now I'm looking at a picture of the Hoff in an eyepatch, and can't see how it couldn't make the list. I'm blaming you in advance for wasting two hours of my life I'll never get back, bitter!<br /><br />Ditto on Steel, although luckily that's not making the cable rounds, and I know I won't bring myself to netflix it.
