I normally just don't like fratty party comedies and I figured The Hangover would be like that, and it sort of is, but I actually really liked it. It's actually a really clever movie, plot-wise. Also Ken Jeong left me in stitches every time.
I still laugh when I watch The Hangover. I have no idea how many times I've seen it. It may be because every time I go to Vegas with the buddies I can barely stand upright when I get to the airport for the flight home.
Agreed. I thought it was going to be hilarious but there was very little I laughed at. Anchorman 1 was also really disappointing considering how much most of my friends seem to like it.

Batman and Robin, The only suit we wanted to see with nipples(Alicia Silverstone's) didn't have them.
And who could forget the Batcard!

I have no idea what either of you are talking about.
While on the subject of bad movies from Columbia Pictures in 1987: Ishtar.
i can't defend 75% of the posters' opinions on this thread.

I wouldn't put it on the list of WORST movies ever, but I'd put it on a list of most OVERRATED ones.
Congo 1995
Awful movie. The first 10 minutes of the movie is just garbage, they must must have run out of money or film to just stop and say that was good enough. The special effects are crap too.

From the title only I was going to say "Howard the Duck", then I see the OP beat me to it.
On top of that, I dragged my buddies to see it on opening night.
One (2?) Word(s): Ducktits.
Japanese star wars rip off. Horrible.
I recall seeing Highlander 2 and having my friend scream "Six Seventy Five" as in 'I just wasted $6.75' and time I will never get back.
It did have the excuse that there was a fire and much of the movie was lost and they didn't have money to reshoot so they made something up from what survived. Bad choice.

I haven't seen much from her, but the Friday Night Lights skit was hilarious and so spot on.
I do often have trouble finding women comedians funny. Not because they need to get back in the kitchen, but they just appeal to women more and it doesn't really hit me. I'd imagine likewise not many women think Louis C.K.'s jokes about jerking off are hilarious. Maybe a chuckle of disgust or something, but not something you really connect with.
Unless there were other skits doing the same thing I don't remember that. Weren't there a bunch of black players in the skit? It wasn't ripping on small town people, it was ripping on the culture of how football players and often other athletes in high schools get treated like gods and it often gets to their heads. I don't think my school was that terrible about it, but I remember being at a party in college and a guy who had been on my high school's football team talking about the shit he got away with and how he actually wished he had been disciplined more.
I think we saw the skit very differently.
I saw it as holding a very similar perspective to the original Friday Night Lights book(which is excellent), in which the author has a thinly veiled horror about most of his subjects except for the family of the Tight End who went to Harvard. I got a similar vibe from the skit, but I also think a lot of her skits have that I am too cool for you rednecks vibe.
I think my thing with female comedians boils down to how much they go to the "Girl Power" well, with Schumer that seems to be the extent of her range and Tina Fey does that a lot as well. My wife loves both of them, I don't find Schumer particularly funny and while I think Tina Fey is genuinely talented, I find her pretty hit or miss. I think there just isn't quite the same common ground for me to draw on for their jokes to work. By contrast Melissa McCarthy's humor is more universal and so I prefer her stuff(Tammy was a miss, though).
I tend to agree with you on the women comedian thing, but I feel bad about it. I think they are judged on a double standard by me and everyone else. Louis CK tells a joke about sex and I don't care what he looks like. A female comedian tells a joke about sex and my reaction is either eww gross I don't want to hear about her having sex or if she's hot, I judge her for just trying to draw attention to her looks (or something like that.) I think Amy Schumer is popular because she sort of falls in the middle neutralizing this effect. It's nice that men don't have to worry about that.
That said, Melissa McCarthy is legitimately funny.
May be true for a lot of people, but I don't get grossed out by any of that stuff. A woman could talk about her period while I'm having dinner.

Deep Blue Sea with LL Cool J is worse

The Terror of Tiny Town. This movie was:
- A Midget cast.
- A Western.
- A terror movie.
- A musical.
They actually screened this at UofM back in the day before videos. It was . . . interesting. No, it was really bad.
The best thing they could say was "All midget cast"?

Agreed on Batman V Superman being the worst, although I didn't see the new Fantastic Four.
The first Hulk movie. After that. I am very picky about what I see in the theater.

And I wanted to show The Core to my classes as an example of utter contempt for science in hollywood. Unfortunately, I also didn't want to pay anyone for a copy of it.
