The Worst Films of 2015 (So Far)

[vagabondwillsmile]

I'd replace "Boy Next Door" with "The Loft". Did you see that one? The former was terrible and stupid, but fairly benign. The latter was mean spirited and insulting to everyone, in every way. Terrible writing, terrible script, terrible acting and delivery. From start to finish every second was chore. Absolute shit.

I saw The Loft, although it took me a while after its release because it never got a theatrical release here. It's bad, but at least its mystery kind of works, at least in the sense that I wanted to see it through, which is why it wouldn't make the list.

Ah - well it's good you were able to find something of value in it! Haha When I was watching, I just shut down so early that I didn't give the mystery a chance to hook me. Your list was a good read. Looking forward to your end of the year list if you do one.

Oh one little bit of info; the only good thing you mentioned about Pixels...It has not only been done before and better, it is also where they got their "inspiration" from. And by that, i mean flat out copied from a 3 min short film by Patrick Jean called...Yup you guessed it...Pixels...

You are aware that Sandler actually bought the rights to the idea from Patrick Jean, that Jean also got writing credits for the Sandler abomination, and even acted as executive producer for it?

Yes, but that makes it no less a copy. They are merely paying for the privilege to not be sued. Executive producer is a bit of a loose term for involvement, it could solely mean securing the rights to a project to overseeing the entire creative process. It is the sort of hussie credit, if you will.

That's not at all how that works. Like, at all. Someone selling the rights to something doesn't make the production of that thing a copy of the original. At very worst it'll make the next thing an iteration of the original, not a copy.

Damnit I hate being wrong all the time! Why can a person not loosen the terms to suit their needs anymore? Has one not heard of shake-a-spear?
If this is a world where all words are set in cement and people jumped upon for trying to colour them, well it's a world i'd rather not live in!

Okay, jokes aside, I forgot that words can be taken literally in translation online. Apologies to you, sir!

How could you not have loved Blart Blart Mall Blart too? I laughed until I killed myself.
