Doesn’t Curtis get any credit for Notting Hill? It wasn’t all bad (*says he, frantically trying to think of an amusing scene that’s not painfully smug, class-ridden and pompously unrealistic or relies on High Grant making a tosser of himself. Fails and agrees with Howdy*).
What have you got against Mike Myers? Wayne’s World is ace and the Austin Powers series is totally empire!
Land of the Dead was crap compared to the Dead trilogy – zombies that think? Almost as bad as 28th Day. Showgirls is bad (especially Kyle McLachlan). I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead is crap. In fact, there’s a whole strata of lottery funded British movies that we haven’t even mentioned: where’s Sex Lives of the Potato Men or Love, Honour, Obey?
What is rubbish are the films of Mel Gibson post Mad Max 2 (the guy’s a premier twat and isn’t Passion of The Christ just his S/M fetish home movie?) and the unbearably smug Crash. My candidate for worst movie of all time is Moulin Rouge – it’s the one film I physically can’t watch without gagging. Baz Lurhmann is a shite director.
