And oh my god that was the most insane thing I've ever seen. Now I only recently got into NGE although seen various episodes on and off and really did enjoy them but had a marathon of this series and it has to now be my favorite anime.
The psychological aspect of the series was amazing and played perfectly. I love how even though there are giant robot battles that's not what the show is about and the robot battles are actually a tool for the "pilots" to run away from life. Shinji was sort of annoying at times but he was obviously necessary and showed the mental decay of too much pressure and stress put on one person, Rei was okay but wasn't able to feel she was human at all, although maybe that was the point also at first I didn't like Asuka at all but her character was probably on of the best, since she appears to think she's the best but as time goes on her pride gets crushed and revealing her dark childhood at that time was perfect and amazing.
However the ending of the series has to rival 2001, Mulholland Drive and Perona for the WTF factor and it explained everything perfectly but it still made no sense, don't mean that in a bad way just the way the series was structured it was all psychological damaged to the core so there could be little in rational explanations. Also the last scene is maybe one of the saddest scenes I've seen in an animated film. Just awesome.
Thinking of seeing the rebuild movies next but might need a break, just wanted to say how amazing I thought this series was.

here's my top 3:
Watchmen
okay now this looked awesome the scenes made it seem like Snyder really got the movie and the Smashing Pumpkins song fit perfectly but the actual movie was an utter turd and the sceenwritters, actors and director total effed up the mood and theme and meaning of the original source material. Awful.
Now i wouldn't say this was the worst movie but very disappointing movie in my view. The trailer makes it seem funny and good chemistry with everyone in the movie and Devotcka's "How it Ends" with in the trailer makes it look like amazing. However instead we got an average, mostly boring, not really funny apart from Eugene Hutz's lines and the plot points made little sense and just wasn't anything special at all.
Now my last one is Where the Wild Things Are again like the last two has awesome music and make it seem epic and amazing and starts off with a song by Karen O (of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and than goes to The Arcade Fire's "Wake Up" (one of my favorite songs) and really makes the scenes look really good. However the actual movie was weak and unimpressive. Yes visual it was good but lacked any plot. Just random crap that didn't matter and weird stuff. Very crappy movie. And yes I know the book was very short and had almost no writing words, but so did Cloudy with a Chance of meatballs and that was awesome, entertaining and still kept with the general plot of food falling from the sky while i'm not even sure what the message of WTWTA was.
Anyway thats my top 3 all great trailers with awesome songs that movies were so disappointing.

All these are bad but my pick for one of the worst monsters of all time is the creatures from "The Crawling Eye". Also thought this should be posted since it was the first feature of MST3K (well other than the KMTA episodes) I mean I guess a giant body part could be intimidating but an Eye? Not exactly the most frightening really plus lets couple that by the fact it takes place in Trollenberg, Switzerland make it all the more ridiculous, I mean "crawling" on the mountain in the movie would have teared themselves apart!

To all those who bashed this PPV and said how horrible it would be...you were WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I concede this but if it becomes a fulltime reunion crap like what WWE did after One Night Stand than it would become utterly awful. Anyway I give the show a 7

well i'll eat crow and say this PPV was pretty good. BUT.....let me say if this is more than just a one night reunion show than it will completely suck and make TNA look even worse than they have in the past. But really have to hand it to the ECW workers they did an amazing job. TNA should take elements that made this show good and integrate into their programming but not everything as that would be stupid. Doing a full time nostalgia show would be horrid and bury TNA even further.
But for one night let me say good job TNA now if you can keep the momentum up you might have something.

Well at the very least it's already better than December to Dismember as that was a pretty good tag match. So good start but I still have a bad feeling about this show.

I really feel Richard Jenkins makes this movie amazing in my book. Really the whole interaction between Reilly and Ferrel is great but becomes less interesting as the movie goes on especially when they become friends. The whole part of Jenkins trying to force them to grow by getting jobs and being adult and being the generally antagonist and forcing change upon them is what makes the movie. also I really thought his monologue near the end of the movie to Reilly and and Ferrell trying to tell that he didn't want to grow up either and kills him seeing of what them become and wanted to be a dinosaur but his dad told to get his crap together was some of the best written dialogue in a comedy I've seen in the past decade. Sure that was so absurd but most movies wouldn't have the guts to do that so it made it awesome. Also yeah agreed that on the surface the movie appears dumb but really is pretty complex and great and actually intelligent. In my book the best "stupid" comedies of the decade although I'd say Juno, Little Miss Sunshine, Knocked Up, 40 Year Old Virgin, Tropic Thunder and Pineapple Express were better but still awesome movie.
Also I want to add without John C. Reilly as the co-protagonist this movie wouldn't work. A lot of the laugh out loud funny parts were due to him and it amazes me that Reilly is such a great comedy actor now since I use to associate him more as a dramatic actor with films like Casualties of War, Hard Eight, Magnolia, Boogie Nights and Chicago. Really show how versatile he is. I mean Will Ferrell is okay but he's pretty much a one note joke and needs an awesome script and great people in his movies, but a lot of actors are like that and basically he fills his role really well, especially in this but without John C. Reilly this movie wouldn't have been so good.

After looking at the wiki for the Shadow I think Jon Hamm would be a great Shadow or knowing Tarantino he'll pick an up and commer or some washed up guy that he can make awesome again like he did with Travolta, Forster or Keitel.

Honestly don't I know too much about The Shadow. Although I hope Tarantino goes back to writing more dialogue in his movies as lately he has done too much action and is definitely not his strong suit as Inglorious Bastereds showed. But I'm willing to give it a shot as a mediocre Tarantino movie is usually still watchable. So more movies like Pulp Fiction, Resevoir Dogs and Jackie Brown and less like Kill Bill or Inglorious Bastereds.

Snow was a white, Canadian rapper who rapped in a Jamaican patois. Or, at least tried to. That's a faaaaar, far cry from Reggaeton. No I figured that but it did have alot of rap influence so I guess it would fall under Reggae thats why I said I wasn't even sure what to categorize it as. Still my major point is it sucked because you couldn't understand a word he said. Also the spoof they did In Living Colour with Jim Carey called "Imposter" was hilarious.

When I saw this thread only one song I can think of being the worst ever and it's from 1992 by Snow entitled "The Informer"
Can't understand a word he's saying in this video and I have a natural hatred for any reggae music mixed with rap I guess it's be popularized by the term of raggaetron although not sure if this would classify under that. Man it amazes that people in 1993 actually paid for this crap!

Randy Orton grows out his hair, starts wearing Crow face paint and a trench coat and hangs out in the rafters. And he jobs to Cena at next Summerslam. I'd rather see Cena in the Crow role feeling betrayed by Jericho and HHH for revealing they are the true leaders of Nexus. So Cena says he let down the WWE universe and wont come back in the ring till he discovers what he did wrong. I see Cena far better than in the bad guy role also it would humble not make him Superman anymore and I guess I always see Cena as being a lot like Sting and he needs a revamp badly as his current character isn't quite working so making him darker would be cool but no facepaint, obviously I get this was a joke thread but honestly it would be cool to see Cena in more of an anti-hero role as it would suit him more than his babyface role and that way kids will still buy his crap and older fans will gain respect for him.

(1 Rey Mysterio (2 David Otunga (3 Hornswoggle
Honarble mention for the Great Khlai, although had to excuse for pop worthy moments like his awesome Royal Rumble performance where he gave like 15 Brain Chops, but mostly he sucks and is a waste of time.

Paul Rudd isn't bland as he shows it in Wet Hot American Summer. He needs to do more roles like this:

"Primer" should be somewhere on this list. Seriously, I had no damn idea what was going on, but maybe I'm just dumb. I agree with this. I blame it on the dialogue of the movie. It was just too dry and too much technical based. I'm pretty intelligent and get complicated concepts but Primer kind needed to have someone edit that script. However still liked it and got the basic concept but yeah I could see why people would get confused. Really any David Lynch movie deserves to win this especially Mulholland Drive, Inland Empire and Lost Highway. The first two were utterly confusing! I've seen Mulholland Drive like four times and I still don't understand it. Another I'd like to nominate would be Synecdoche, New York. Awesome movie with great performances but kind of hard to understand what in that movie was real and what wasn't and the whole timeline is utterly messed up. But still a great movie. But as the original topic goes Vanilla Sky isn't confusing unless you don't watch it all the way through. Also yes Matrix Revolutions was confusing, but more in the realm of how the hell did they go from a great story like in the first movie to what Revolutions was? Oh and definitely agree with 2001 still don't get that ending, but actually like it being unresolved and confusing. Also although I'm saying that something is confusing doesn't mean I don't like more times than not I love it when they do that because it leaves me with something and will remember the movie more.
