Doctor Who?

The first time I saw an add for The Love Guru I said to myself "that is sure to win a Razzie",looks like I was right.

Too bad you can't bet on these things.

I'm sure somewhere in Vegas you can.

Personally, even though the Razzies are rediculous, anything that warns the general public away from Uwe Boll can't be a bad thing.

Plus, now that he has a Worst Career Achievement, he can retire. Right? Right? Sigh.


Doctor Who?

I will always remember 2008 as the year that I found out what makes Uwe Boll laugh and it seems to be 9/11 and school shooting.

I guess on 9/11 he woke up turned on his tv and laughed his ass off all day.

Actually, for my money, the only part of Postal that was even remotely close to humorous was the beginning, when a couple of the 9/11 hijackers are trying to get clarification on just how many virgins they'll receive in Paradise. I thought it showed up, in as clever a way as Uwe Boll is capable of, the utter ridiculousness of the idea of "rewards in the afterlife."

A fridge can save you from an atomic bomb test, apparently, but it can't shield you from critics.  :)

That SO needs to be on a kitchen magnet.

I simply can't believe The Love Guru won over Disaster Movie. I mean, Disaster Movie is prone to cause fits of dementia and pancreatic cancer. Nothing could be worse.

And don't listen to them Indy, I still love you!

And the disease I would rather have than watch this movie is...spastic colon!

I'm also assuming that nowhere as many people saw Disaster Movie as did The Love Guru.

Maybe, though they both still (thankfully) bombed (even though Disaster Movie still made more than it's budget >_<).

Also, I think it's a low blow giving Indy the Worst Sequel award. Sure, the movie wasn't nearly as great as it should've been, but it's leagues above the one-two combo of Disaster Movie and Meet the Spartans.

And another thing, did they actually watch Repo? Paris Hilton does a good job (I was just as shocked as anyone), that seems to be giving that award to Paris for the sake of awarding it to Paris.

Whole thing is feeling like a desperate attempt to give notice to the big name failures than actually say which was the worst.

I think the issue is one of expectations; NO ONE expects a Friedberg/Seltzer film to be even slightly watchable.

I think I agree with you. Whatever problems Repo! has, I don't believe Paris Hilton is one of them.

The Love Guru, really? Mike Myers has steered me wrong only once. It was called the Cat in the Hurghhh... sorry, can't finish it. I doubt The Love Guru is that bad. I think some people just want to hate comedians that aren't the funniest person in the world 24/7/365. Like they've somehow been personally betrayed because everyone said Austin Powers was so funny, then it got annoying and the sequels weren't the original, and then the Cat in the HAAAAGHHH!! Sorry, every time. It seems like the only way to make a successful comedy these days is to not even attempt to suggest that it's funny. People seem so fucking slighted when a trailer for a comedy tries to make it seem funny. Jesus Christ.

Which only makes me wonder when did Michael Jackson have a comedy career? Cause people treat him like he's Jim fucking Carrey. And nobody deserves that. Not even Hitler.

And Paris Hilton is ALWAYS a problem, no matter what the topic.

Well at least Bill wasn't nominated for Meet Dave...
