]]> 27 The Hunt For The Worst Movie Of All Time: Jingle All The Way http://videogum.com/253462/the-hunt-for-the-worst-movie-of-all-time-jingle-all-the-way/franchises/the-hunt-for-the-worst-movie-of-all-time/ http://videogum.com/253462/the-hunt-for-the-worst-movie-of-all-time-jingle-all-the-way/franchises/the-hunt-for-the-worst-movie-of-all-time/#comments Mon, 06 Dec 2010 22:45:15 +0000 Gabe http://videogum.com/?p=253462

In the first 10 minutes of Jingle All the Way, before we even get into the slapstick, crime-laden, immoral plot, we learn that Arnold Schwarzenegger is a negligent father who doesn’t spend enough time with his family because he’s too busy running a successful…mattress company? Honestly, there is one scene during the opening credits in which we see Arnold Schwarzenegger at work, and he says the word “mattresses” and there are mattresses visible in the background, but it is never made explicitly clear what, exactly, his business is, or why it’s successful. After he leaves the office, it is never mentioned again, which is actually pretty surprising if he’s really supposed to be so obsessed with his work to the detriment of his personal life. But that’s actually not the issue I want to talk about. The issue I want to talk about is how the reason we know he’s a bad father is because he misses his son’s karate class where his son was promoted from a yellow belt to purple belt. Um, no he didn’t. Because that’s impossible. Later, the son angrily complains to his dad that he also missed his promotion from blue belt to yellow belt. Again, no he didn’t. Obviously, in a movie so riddled with HUGE and GENUINELY OFFENSIVE problems, it’s probably a waste of energy to get so mad about something like this, but there is literally not one single martial arts system in the entire world that functions on a belt system that goes from blue to yellow to purple. Even people who don’t know anything about karate know that yellow belt is a bullshit belt. The point is: if you’re going to make the super-specific choice to make the ONE DETAIL we EVER LEARN about this LITTLE BOY’S ENTIRE LIFE, his DEFINING CHARACTERISTIC BEING A MILD INTEREST IN MINNESOTA KARATE CLASS, at least do five minutes of research and get the details right. GOD DAMN IT. Seriously. Like, trust me, Jingle All the Way, you’re going to get a lot more things wrong in the coming hour and a half, it would be in your interest to get a couple of victories under your belt.

This movie is so fucking stupid and deplorable. It’s deplorable! I hate it. I hate it so much.

He was a very talented actor and will be greatly missed. But in the past few months, amidst the outpourings of support for his family, and the shared memories of fellow actors who worked with him and loved him, one voice has been painfully silent. I’m talking, of course, about Verne Troyer. As touching as it is to see Michelle Williams standing with baby Matilda in her arms, bravely confronting the daunting task of single parenthood, you couldn’t help but wonder “Where is Mini-Me when we need him?”

I’m not sure how they finally got him to break his silence, but the folks over at MTV managed to put this towering giant of Heath Ledger knowledge on the record as saying he’s sad that he died.
