Oh, there's sooooooo much worse out there! It's obvious you've never seen a Pauly Shore or Adam Sandler "movie"!
Typing of Adam Sandler, I just found out that Happy Madison has bought the rights to "The Toy"! Another classic movie from my childhood about to be raped to death by the likes of a hack!

Ha ha, well you do have a small point James, but, whilst they are a bad "start" to the Star Wars six, they are more of the ugly trio, kind of like the evil twin you hide in the attic.
As Monkey_Boy said there are far worse out there. Adam Sandler isn't my worst, but Pauly Shore has go to be up there.
By the way Monkey_Boy, do you mean The Toy with Robin "I've got to be a contender for the worst films ever made, since Good Morning Vietnam" Williams???!! Surely not. Hated it.
How about Captivity? Yes Elisha is great eye candy, but oh dear.

I think you're thinking of "Toys". No, this is "The Toy". Ya know, the classic movie starring Richard Pryor? He's "bought" by a little, rich, southern white boy, which is the joke! I don't see it working with a white guy like Sandler in the Pryor role, nor does this film need to be remade, anyway. It was perfect when it first came out in '82. Not only for the TIME it came out, but for the actors who starred in it!

My work had a “Worst Movie on the Planet” contest, and everyone who participated showed their nominated film in to watch at lunchtime, and after watching the film we would rank it against the other bad films. The one with the highest (worse) score won the contest. My movie was allowed to play for just about half an hour before people started pounded on the table and chanting “shut it off, shut if off”, naturally, I won the contest. My boss told me later that if she had known at the time that the movie existed, she would have banned it from the contest. It’s a Mae West film Sextette, which was filmed in 1978 when Mae West was around 70 years old and had, to put it kindly, lost her looks. Ms. West had the money to make the film, and there were plenty of people around willing to indulge a legend, and/or make money from her. The film is full of second and third rate actors who, according to the plot, are hopelessly in love with her, willing to kill and die for her because of her (70 year old) beauty and sexually. The best part of the movie is when Mae, who’s wearing a sleeveless gown and has lots of fat under her arms, sings Love Will Keep Us Together with Timothy Dalton. (Yes, Timothy Dalton, the actor who once played James Bond.) Mae’s arm fat swings back and forth with every grand gesture she makes as she talks/sings her way through the song. It was during this song in fact, that the whole “shut of off” chant got started. My co-worker told me that it would take brain bleach to get those images out of his head. Another co-worker told me that what he had just been exposed to had better be covered by medical for the therapy he was going to need, or I was going to hear from his lawyer.
Anyone ever see "Gummo"? What an awful movie. It's basically two hours of disturbing images. An old work friend of mine lent it to me saying it was so bad it's good. He was right about the first part.
Some of the worst movies are hilarious and thusly not terribly agonizing. So the worst movies are those which bore you to death, and the most boring movie I've ever seen is Underworld Evolution. There is not a single personality present. Everyone speaks in one-liners. It is impossible to fire a pistol that fast. It doesn't matter if you're a vampire with superpowers, the mechanics of the gun isn't fast enough. There's too much action, and not enough story. The dilemma of being a vampire has been removed.
"[...]To all of which, I admit, I had nothing to answer, for it was but the truth. So I refrained from launching into useless palavers and quibbling, and, immediately drawing the two pistols which I had in my belt, I fired them both, by way of argument, into the faces of this droll fellow and his accomplice, which spared me the necessity of speech and ended the quarrel in the best possible way." - Louis Adhémar Timothée Le Golif
