I sure hope The Last Airbender win the awards! I want to see M. Night Shyamalan reaction and if possibly a speech for receiving it!
Possibly, but look what Sandra Bullock did last year.

I think it failed so hard in England because he didn't take notice of what certain cultural groups will make of the line "'Benders, to me!"

hey - I liked The Bounty Hunter

now what does that say?
... That you're an awful human being. Kidding, we're all allowed or guilty pleasures.
But not allowed to dislike Scott Pilgrim, trust me I've been flamed for it.

"Worst Eye-Gouging Misuse of 3D," eh? Personally, I would give that award to any and all films which incorporate 3D. I can't stand it; it's put me off of so many movies that I could have been interested in seeing otherwise.

Plus in the few times I've tried to watch 3D media, I've received a headache that can only be described as "soul-crushing".
lol first comment I see aligns with my intended comment: any movie using 3-D should get a Razzie certification or a little medal or something...for sucking

I hope Friedberg and Selzman take home their first Razzie. I've been wanting them to get one of these since Date Movie. I'm also hoping Megan Fox, Jack Black, and Cats & Dogs 2 "win" their respective categories, and that The Bounty Hunter doesn't "win" one.

Twilight or the abomination that attempted to "spoof" it both up for Razzies? Has there ever been a tie before? And can the winners win cyanide instead? Please?!?

I haven't seen The Last Airbender, but anything with M. Night's name on it should be immediately thrown into a burning pit of fire after his unrelenting cinematographic catastrophes.

Sex in the City 2 just seems so insulting that it gives me a bit of an upset stomach just thinking about the premise.

Megan Fox was AWFUL in Jonah Hex (all 10 minutes that I could stand), but I think that Jonah Hex's horrendous makeup job exacerbated the agonizing experience.

And Jennifer Aniston? She. Cannot. Act. Period. Why is Hollywood even letting her within spitting distance of working in a cafe to serve people who have anything to do with the production of movies? One would think that any casting director who was not a benighted imbecile would recognize that Aniston plays her Friends role in each of her films.

This is the only problem that I see with the Gerald Butler/The Bounty Hunter nominations: The fatal flaw was Jennifer Aniston! The movie could have been decent if they found a better female lead who did not make killing baby seals a preferable form of entertainment than watching her wretch all over the screen.

The Killers was quite similar except Kutcher and Heigel (Not sure how to spell that) were both miserable to watch and the overall thing was just... argh....

I think that for the sake of our future, goofy romantic comedy spy/merc/secret identity films should be outright banned like poorly done 3D exploitation.

Twilight seems to get ripped on a lot. I wonder if there are legitimate critical reasons for that or if it's just satire on their part.
The special effects are horrid, the actors have no range, the script is poorly written and director seems as if he is doing it purely for the paycheck.

The Oscars were firstly given out to people who deserved them, now its a popularity contest. Its ironic that the Razzies, while ridiculing the industry, has the exact same goal the Oscars originally did. Its funny that something no one really takes as serious has more gravitas and respectability.

Don't get me wrong ,The Last Airbender is a horrible movie, but this was just a one shot movie for a fallen creator director to try to cash in on an already awesome series.

ECLIPSE on the other hand is just pure pain in all writing, and cinema possible, and is based on something just as bad! And we're getting MORE of them in the future!

Here's hoping Twilight sweeps them all.
I dunno, M. Night. Shyamalan really outdid himself here.
While nothing can top the sheer idiocy of the plot to The Happening (Holy Hell even the title sucks), at least the movie had its entertaining moments ("You're after the secret recipe for my lemon drink!").

The Last Airbender is such a perfect example of exactly how NOT to tell a story that I think it should be textbook. It was about as interesting as reading a newspaper while waiting at the doctor's office and the only thing on TV is a Thai-Chi video.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but as vapid, idiotic and boring as the Twilight "Saga" is, there's no contesting Shyamalan's ability to take a GOOD cartoon's plot and characters, then re-script it to be the most hideously pointless thing ever (well, 2nd most pointless but I won't get into that).
That is to say: Twilight: Eclispse never stooped to making 90% of its dialogue self-imposed exposition.

While we're on the subject of Razzies, might I suggest a new honorary category?

Most Bullshit Preview/Trailer For a Movie

Case in point: The trailers for both The Last Airbender and Twilight: Eclipse were misleading to the point of fraud. Twilight's trailer prominently featured the "Werewolf vs Vampires" scene and tried desperately to fool the audience into thinking anything actually happens in that film.
Airbender just flat out deleted half of the cool shit that was in the trailer; most of the trailer footage was created by an entirely different firm than the ones who shot the fucking movie! And it was much better.
Talk about a bait and switch!

Which one is worse? Hmm. Tough category.
I'll let you make the call, but I'm going with Airbender.
Why? Because nobody was fooled by Twilight. Nobody should be at this point.
But the Last Airbender at least had the potential to be GOOD.
