There is when you're as squeemish as me.Dead Alive is fckng awesome! There's no such thing as "too much gore to be funny"
Well yeah, but it's still only a means to tell a story, something that can't be substituted with visuals.above everything else, film is a visual medium.

Kung Pow is weird. To me, some parts are super hysterical, but other parts are cringe-inducingly bad. I noticed that all the really funny parts are when it's dubbing over the original kung fu movie, and all the horrible parts are when they added entirely new scenes like that baby fighting scene, cow fighting scene, etc.I get the feeling that a good number of these lists have movies that aren't bad, but they were far from expectations and hype. For example, Avatar might not have met the hype, but I wouldn't place anywhere near Disaster Movie or Meet the Spartans.
Though I am truly surprised at Good Burger and Deep Blue Sea on some of these lists. I love both of those movies.
Besides the obvious ______ Movie parodies, some movies I really hated were:
Kung Pow
Terror Toons
Dragonball Evolution
Oh, and Clownbot. I bet my avatar could take your avatar.
What I like about Kung Pow is how authentic they made it feel. IIRC, they had grainy footage, bad dubbing, and all the correct stereotypes of a martial arts film's story. The slapstick humor was something that ruined it, but the same goes for most parody films.Kung Pow is weird. To me, some parts are super hysterical, but other parts are cringe-inducingly bad.

This is how a feel about ~85% of the "comedy" movies I've seen.Year One - You know, that "comedy" featuring Jack Black and Michael Cera. I got stuck watching it with a group of friends one night last year. Surprisingly, everybody hated it, and we turned it off after 30-40 minutes...I say surprisingly because most of my friends love these kind of movies. I didn't laugh once the entire time. I got the jokes they were making, I understood the references, they were just terribly unfunny. Also, I'm pretty sure this movie single handedly made me hate Michael Cera.
I second this. That was such a stupid movie.The Happening
Napoleon Dynamite was actually pretty good imo.1. Nepolian Dynamite
I've never seen it, but I heard it was funny.Tropic Thunder
I agree...I watched that for a few minutes and could not understand what the hell was going on...Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li. Yo that movie was butt.
That was on TV where I am yesterday. I didn't watch it, though, for reasons I stated earlier. I guess I got lucky.Coyote Ugly by far.
Sorry, but this is such a dumb post on many levels.I seem to have lost all interest in American movies ever since Shutter Island. I think it was the last American movie I watched all the way through. It was such a waste of time, lol.
Sorry if anyone liked it, haha, it just wasn't my cup of tea.
I'll stick with Anime.

Its the only movie to offend me to the point of disgust. Basically male gaze and sexist attitudes towards women all around. The only way women get ahead in this movie is by being sexual icons.That was on TV where I am yesterday. I didn't watch it, though, for reasons I stated earlier. I guess I got lucky.
It's not so much you didn't like Shutter Island. I don't care about that. I know lots of people didn't like it. It's the "I'll stick with anime, because of this one live action American film." sentiment that is dumb.What did I say? It's just my opinion...
So you're assuming that just because Shutter Island was the last one I watched, that I let that movie alone make me lose interest? No, it was a combination of movies that I didn't like that caused me to just not feel like watching more. I'm just taking a break is all. I'll probably find one I really like soon and start watching more.It's not so much you didn't like Shutter Island. I don't care about that. I know lots of people didn't like it.

Eh, I can see why you took it that way. My bad.I wasn't "assuming" anything that wasn't in your post. You only mentioned Shutter Island.
