I will watch anything with Colin Firth, but I made it about fifteen minutes through the Accidental Husband. That movie was completely unwatchable. For shame, Mr Darcy

The only good thing about My Accidental Husband is that bin Laden got killed while I was watching it.

I saw "The Avengers" in a theater for a FREE sneak preview. I remember
absolutely nothing about the movie except how pissed I was when it was
over. I felt I deserved a refund for...something. The 3 years of my
life I lost watching that POS? The loss of my childhood love for The
Avengers? I don't know, but I know I was owed something for being
subjected to such awfulness.

Johnny Be Good was filmed in my hometown.

I was nervous that "The Truth About Cats and Dogs" was going to be on this list. I love that movie but haven't seen it in years -- no idea how it holds up.

This post reminds me of my new favorite word:

Fremdschämen
It's when you're embarrassed for somebody else, and they really should be embarrassed, but aren't.

It's the kinder, gentler version of Schadenfreude.

My Super ExGirlfriend is Super Cute! Now you Super Shut it or I will crack your head like a walnut between my thighs.

Paycheck is actually pretty fun, kind of in the same vein as Sahara. I like a cheesy, watchable action film because it's these types of movies that get me through my hangovers, ok? I want some non-serious action chuckles business that will ensure I won't even be tempted to think deeply while my brain is trying to mend itself (I like to visualize this proces as that machine in the 5th Element fixing all the brain cells).

Forgot to add: Also, I call Paycheck "A Tale of Two Chinies" due to the clefty goodness of Affleck and Eckhart.

Why, yes, I am extremely hung over today.

I've spent years saying, "I really like Uma Thurman!" Looking at this list, I realize that I only enjoy Tarantino Thurman. Everything else is horrible, awful garbage.

My God. I feel like I've been smacked in the face with the Mackerel of Truth.

GOD, that Avengers travesty. I had forgotten/repressed.

PS. I have no plans to see Bel Ami, but if Dangerous Liaisons is "far superior"...that's bad. Extremely, terribly, horribly bad.

Ok, Avengers has to be number 1. Because...giant dancing teddy bears.

I'm impressed by the Bel Ami poster. Not only does the photoshopping give Uma an amazing floating head, but it manages to make her, Kristin Scott Thomas and Christina Ricci all look as if they are in the same age range.

Super Ex-Girlfriend isn't terrible. I'll boldly admit I like it as fluffy comedy.

I didn't mind Be Good at all. I mean it was no "Get Shorty" but what is?

Big Trouble gets close, in my opinion.

Well, as long as you don't diss Mad Dog & Glory, we're cool

Uma Thurman is a classic example of an actress who needs a decent director in order to bring anything out of her.

OK, so I couldn't log into my old Disquis account for some reason, so when the comments here switched I created a new one. It worked pretty well for a while, but now it seems that all the comments I posted yesterday have been eated, including other people's replies to said eated comments (sorry, lawyerlady, I think your name was?). Now I can't get into my new Disqus account, but miraculously I can get into my old one. All this is to say that you can skip this comment, because I'm only posting this as a test to see if comments made under the old account stick. I know I buried the lede here, but I'm not typing all that over again, so screw you.

but you get sexy points for using the right "lede".

Bummer. What comment got eaten?

I thought the Pajiba 10 comment got eaten. A little bit after I posted this comment yesterday, I went back to the Pajiba 10 post and found the comment I made there on Tuesday. I tried to come back here and 1) confess that I'm a moron or 2) confirm that Disqus is evil or 3) both, and I saw that the ENTIRE UMA THURMAN POST WAS MISSING. Then I gave up and went drinking.

Lo and behold, this post with my comment is back up today. In conclusion - if you love a comment, set it free. If it disappears but then comes back to you, you're probably having either computer issues or hallucinations.

Disqus, looks like it's own service.

That would mean it lives somewhere
else than where Pajiba lives, so the comments are only "here" when those other guys and some great pile of tech decides to cooperate.

Between the beauty that is our
overlords' content and the comments of us proles there's network-y
things, NSA Spy-bots, StuxNets, and of course Amazon outages caused by
*totally unpredictable* wind storms which never happen, ever so why
would you plan the service you charge for to deal with that. In short, we're lucky if our stuff shows up at all.

This is called "progress."

I enjoyed Be Cool. But mostly just as a drowzy cuddle after Get Shorty.

The Avengers took me four days to get through just because I kept either turning it off or falling asleep.

i saw it in the theatre. that was a mistake.

me too.

I admire your persistence. But not your taste.

Not only is it a collection of bad movies, but also some of the worst Photoshop work in Hollywood history. The Acceidental Husband poster is legendarily bad, but I don't think I've ever seen that My Super Ex-Girlfriend one-sheet before, and it's truly abysmal. And the Paycheck one is lke some sort of Escher brainfart. Also, Uma Thurman is shit in everything, even the Tarantino films.

That Batman movie was indeed terrible but Uma's outfit made a fortune for Halloween costume makers for several years.

Usually on these lists there is a movie or two I feel the need to defend, or at least note that while I understand they are bad, I enjoy them. This list is the exception: all these movies actually ARE pretty bad.

This is a pretty impressive crappy movie list. (in the crappy way, not the secretly awesome way.)

One time I was in on a Batman and Robin drinking game: drink every time a pun is made. You can probably guess how that went.

I gather it went rather ice-ly.

Did every drink have to be on the rocks? (And I mean ice!)

You're writing that from the afterlife?

I actually enjoyed Paycheck. I'll even admit i've watched it more than once. I think it works pretty well for a sci-fi action flick. Whereas my super ex-gf really does not work, even for a rom-com, for example.

The error of my ways, show me it.

90.9% of this article is perfect. But seriously, My Super Ex-Girlfriend? Not great but a very fun, enjoyable movie.

And I couldn't get past the first half hour. A lazy, lazy, unfunny movie.

The Truth About Cats And Dogs. A lot of people like that movie. Those people should wise up.

I really can't argue with any movie on this list. Where is our traditional Agent Bedhead Troll Entry? SHENANIGANS.

I know this list was actually not a surprise.

Yeah, Batman & Robin was pretty much when I gave up. Not on Thurman, on Batman.
