The rules would be simple, and would seem to go without saying. For example, we DO make epic historical films about great historical figures because their sweep and scope is one of the things that makes movies so great. Similarly, we DON’T cast Jared Leto because the only thing darker than his eye shadow is the stain he leaves on the tradition of acting. For example, we DO feature sword fights and raging battles, but we DON’T allow Angelina Jolie to speak in a Natasha Fatale voice. Just basic, super obvious ground rules. The reason you would put them on paper when they seem like something everyone should know is because if you don’t put them on paper then movies like Alexander get made. Sure, some rules were made to be broken, but not these fucking rules.

]]> 23 The Hunt For The Worst Movie Of All Time: Round One Late Additions http://videogum.com/9798/the_hunt_for_the_worst_movie_o_3/franchises/the-hunt-for-the-worst-movie-of-all-time/ http://videogum.com/9798/the_hunt_for_the_worst_movie_o_3/franchises/the-hunt-for-the-worst-movie-of-all-time/#comments Wed, 14 May 2008 15:13:23 +0000 Gabe While the Hunt for the Worst Movie of All Time is only just beginning (Netflix is sending me Battlefield Earth as we speak), what has become painfully (literally) clear is just how many viable candidates there are. Yesterday, I announced the initial entrants in the competition:

  • Battlefield Earth
  • Baby Geniuses
  • Lady In The Water
  • The Fountain
  • Southland Tales

But due to the influx of suggestions, I’m now adding some additional titles to the starting bracket:

  • Crossroads
  • The Number 23
  • Alexander
  • I Am Sam
  • Johnny Mnemonic

I’m bumping my Netflix account up to 1,000,000 discs at a time, and am going to get through these as best I can. Obviously, they’re going to have to share the workday with updates on Heidi Montag’s pubic hair conditioning regimen, and new episodes of Who Farted Money?. The rules, if you do not yet know them, are simple, constantly being amended, and after the jump. And of course your suggestions in either comment or email form are always appreciated.
