v.s

[idealdiscountdude]

I actually liked Striptease. Burt Reynolds was friggin' hilarious!

[DaveyJoeG]

Striptease but I feel dirty voting for either one.

[Moviefan1234]

"Striptease"

[Invincible]

Striptease Demi Moore was fucking sexy!

[Adam J. Hakari]

STRIPTEASE, why not?

[Mick]

Showgirls

[screamer581]

Showgirls was hilarious!!

[arto_j]

Striptease

As Ideal said, Burt Reynolds and his mustasche were at their funniest here. And Demi Moore is fuckin' hot...Showgirls, as funny as it was, has nothing on this strippadelic film.

[Damned Martian]

Showgirls 5/10

Striptease 2/10

[Horror whore]

Showgirls

[ColinM]

I'm proud to say I've seen neither, but Striptease looks slightly less painful.

[Nate6]

Striptease is marginally better.

Ditto...

[dh1989]

Showgirls. Why? To support Paul Verhoven who, minus that film and Starship Troopers, is a quite talented filmmaker.

[The Claw]

Showgirls

[XCoRyX]

showgirls

[Ren Hoek]

SHOWGIRLS is great (by Razzie standards)! Come on guys, what's better... a liposucked Demi Moore, or the very tasty Elizabeth Hurley?

[Tom Samborski]

I think you mean Berkley:p.

[JasonLeeFan]

Striptease, for all of the obvious reasons.

[Hannibal21]

[James Logan]

STRIPTEASE. Isn't a good movie, but Demi Moore is hot.

[Tom Samborski]

Striptease wins this round 12-9.

Next Round:

The Postman (1997 Razzie Award Winner: Worst Picture)

v.s

Batman and Robin (1997 Razzie Award Nominee: Worst Picture)

[dh1989]

Batman & Robin (7/10)

The Postman (7/10)

[Sugar Magnolia]

Batman and Robin, for the great lines by Ahnuld....

"Chill Out!!"
"You're not sending ME to the COOLER!"

And many more....

[Sad man]

Batman and Robin.
Just because Uma Thurman and Alicia Silverstone are way hot.

[idealdiscountdude]

Both are terrible!

But I'll give Batman and Robin my vote. At least it wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

[Moviefan1234]

"The Postman"

I actually found it pretty good...

[Damned Martian]

the postman

[arto_j]

Batman & Robin

I despise both movies, but the Postman is just...an experience that words can't describe. And Batman is much shorter.

[Adam J. Hakari]

BATMAN & ROBIN

THE POSTMAN, IMHO, is the most sorry piece of shite ever committed to cinema. B&R, on the other hand, has Uma Thurman. You do the math.

[MikeyB]

Batman and Robin

[charliebobo]

Batman & Robin

[Ren Hoek]

D'oh!

as for this round: Batman and Robin for the reason arto mentioned: it's shorter and thus less painful.

[Raoul Duke]

[Mick]

The Postman - at least it made for a nice scene in The Simpsons.

[dh1989]

Wild Wild West (8/10)

[Adam J. Hakari]

WILD WILD WEST

[Oscar_Chip]

Wild Wild West, its sad to see good talent such as Barry Sonnenfield, Will Smith, and Kenneth Bragnah in a movie that promises yet fails miserably.

[screamer581]

Wild Wild West ....yuck.

[blamecanada]

I've never seen Wild Wild West but I can say that North is one of the worst movies ever made so...

Wild Wild West

[Hannibal21]

Wild Wild West....I guess.

[Horror whore]

North Only because I haven't seen it in years (a good thing). WWW is awful!

[Ren Hoek]

NORTH is less terrible... I can't believe they spent $130 million on such a crapfest as Wild Wild West.

[charliebobo]

North

[Damned Martian]

NORTH!

[The Claw]

Last Action Hero. I liked it, entertaining but not much more. OK film at best.

Thank god I haven't seen either. But The Scarlett Letter seemes less painful.

[Adam J. Hakari]

WATERWORLD

[dannywalker17]

The Scarlet Letter

[Damned Martian]

[flowrchild]

I didn't think the Scarlet Letter was all that horrendous

[Adam J. Hakari]

STAR WARS: EPISODE I - THE PHANTOM MENACE

[CruJonesIs Rad]

Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace I suppose

[screamer581]

Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace , Sandler sucks.

[Mick]

I don't think Big Daddy's too bad... Star Wars, on the other hand, is laughable.

[charliebobo]

Big Daddy

[Moviefan1234]

"Big Daddy"

[Sugar Magnolia]

Episode 1...

[asyouwish530]

Big Daddy

[JCPhoenix]

Big Daddy 5/10

compared with

Star Wars: Phantom Menace 0/10... on a good day.

Reasons why so low? Jar Jar Binks, Jake Lloyd's acting (that kid annoyed the hell out of me) and horrible dialogue.

[Adam J. Hakari]

STAR WARS: EPISODE II - ATTACK OF THE CLONES

[JCPhoenix]

In this case, I'll be voting opposite of what I voted last time (last round I voted for the Sandler movie instead of Episode 1). This time I vote for Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (7/10 on initial viewing, 5 or 6/10 on second)...the first time I saw it in theatres I was like way cool Yoda fight, and I was probably way too lenient in my ratings because of the fact that Phantom Menace was so horrible, it made Attack of the Clones look like a friggin masterpiece.


On second viewing watching it again, the dialogue is absolutely horrible, much of the acting wooden, etc, but still, a huge improvement over the first one. But WTF is with this crapass dialogue??:

Anakin: From the moment I met you, all those years ago, not a day has gone by when I haven't thought of you. And now that I'm with you again... I'm in agony. The closer I get to you, the worse it gets. The thought of not being with you- I can't breath. I'm haunted by the kiss that you should never have given me. My heart is beating...hoping that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul, tormenting me......what can I do?- I will do anything you ask.

Wut a crapass laughable speech. Here's my favorite:

Padme: We used to come here for school retreat. We would swim to that island every day. I love the water. We used to lie out on the sand and let the sun dry us and try to guess the names of the birds singing.
Anakin: I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth.

WTF???!!! LOL, ok, I think Lucas needs to do a little editing of the script and take out some excess crap like this...omg, it was horrible....out of nowhere...:p
Anakin sounds like a 2 year old toddler saying his first words.

Still, after all of that, I liked it more than Little Nicky.

The Blair Witch Project, the one of the pair that was not a bad movie.

[charliebobo]

The Blair Witch Project

[Moviefan1234]

"The Blair Witch Project"

[Ren Hoek]

They're both not THAT bad, but THE FLINTSTONES in VIVA ROCK VEGAS had Alan Cumming as Gazoo and gets my vote! ;)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT is the worst film ever made in movie history! Horrendous acting, unbelievably silly dialogue, camera work that makes me vomit, pointless fucking plot. I HATE it SO much. One of the few movies that receives a (-3/10) from me, it can't even get a 0.

FLINSTONES by sooooooooo many miles and it's not even a GOOD movie...
