That movie Wanted where Jolie curve balls bullets and Freeman reads the future by means of textile production

I was escorted out of a movie once.

The movie was called Quarantine. I don’t remember if there were, but I don’t remember any warnings before going to see the movie or when the movie started. So anyways there’s a lot of flashing in the movie and I had multiple seizures.

Yes! Battlefield Earth.
I stayed for the whole movie because I couldn’t believe how bad it was.

To me battlefield earth falls under the “so bad it begins to loop back around into Cheesey fun” category.

I especially love how what are essentially cave men find F16 fighter jets from the past and not only do the jets and old fuel work, but the cave men know how to start them and fly them effectively.

L Ron really outdid himself on that gem.

Not even F16s, Harriers. Notoriously hard to fly and constantly breaking down.

That’s right, Jesus. I haven’t watched that movie in like 20 years so I just took a shot in the dark at what jets were really popular at the time and we were flying the shit out of F16s during the Gulf War.

Harriers were fucking nightmares for the mechanics and avionics techs that worked them.

You should see what he saved for the non-fiction section.

The Dark Tower. Was so embarrassed that I brought my wife thinking someone could possibly take 8 books and boil them down to 95 minutes that I made us leave a half hour in. It trivialized everything about the books in the worst way possible.

Also, Nacho Libre. Just couldn’t do it. I don’t ding JB for it at all but really bad.

There are bad adaptations, and then there’s the Dark Tower, which was akin to a full palm-open slap to the fans while desperately hoping they could maybe appeal to some movie goers that were unfamiliar with the books, which it failed to do spectacularly.

Most of Steven King books end up this way. It’s pretty much expected at this point.

Didn’t walk out, but wish I had: the first Wonder Woman movie with Gal Gadot. They managed to make a Wonder Woman movie that was more about her boyfriend than Wonder Woman. Wtf.
