Thanks, but I should be back right around 3:00 so I'll just post then if that's fine with Judas.

A couple of observations:

- Fat Elvis' 'The Chosen' thread title is beyond perfection.
- The various place holders in the Lists thread are pure gold.
- Martin Savage's taunt in post #44 is exactly the right tone for this thread.

I'm going to be laughing all week.

Same here Dickson. Nice work there.

Hey I just add some placeholders to my list. Surprised no one picked up "Fuck you out of 10"

It took exactly one post to fulfill that prophecy. And it won´t be the last. Fucker.

What I love about this draft is the fact that it is more demanding to explain why a movie is deemed a failure than picking the good ones and sticking to it.

Discussions on this ones will be very interesting. Bring it on!

Somehow...in a perfect world...that movie HAD to go first.

It's comforting to know that we now, officially, live in a perfect world.

Cruising. Wow. Simultaneously brilliant and monstrous. Good pick. Battlefield needs no explanation - fail on all levels apart from casting Forrest Whittaker.

Yes. Thankfully we don't see the whole deal. We do however see a crisco-covered fist.

But Cruising features what I believe to be the most random scene in all of cinema. That in which during a police interrogation, a large black man wearing nothing but a cowboy hat and a jock strap walks in; slaps Pacino around and then walks out. There is nothing that could be done to explain just what in the fuck happened.

I wanted to include Rabin's remark about "Ever had a guy smoke your pole" quote from his review but I couldn't find the damn article. It was a great piece though. Great stuff for a foul movie.

While i think it's a great (and obvious) pick, there's definitively a JCVD movie that's FAIL enough to guarantee first round.

I hope this speeds along. I'll have to PM my pick if things go longer than 1:30.

I realize Battlefield Earth needs no explanation, but I did want to comment on the three central performances of failure in it. Each reacts differently to the movie around them. Barry Pepper seems to realize how bad it's going, and you can see the frustration in his eyes the whole way through. He's trying, very hard, to salvage at least his portion and deliver a real movie star performance, but there's simply no way, and he knows it. Forest Whitaker gives up entirely. Doesn't bother creating a character, doesn't bother putting any emotion behind his line readings, looks medicated, and couldn't possibly seem more embaressed or half-assed. And of course, Travolta. Travolta thinks he's in some kind of masterpiece of genre cinema. It's the most confident performance he's given since Pulp Fiction. It's a veritable symphony of hambone overacting. One for the ages, of shit. The film itself is also vile, full of scenes that make absolutely no sense, laughably ugly designs, and every third shot is a dutch angle. But it's Travolta that makes this such a stunner.

Okay, I think my first choice is safe for today. I'm going for my second choice which is more obvious and in more danger.

Great fucking picks so far.

EDIT: If someone does pick my top movie, I'm going to implode these boards.

I am Legend is too good to get picked right now. The last half hour makes it a bad movie, but there were far too many things that were kind of OK about it, Will Smith being the biggest thing.

I am Legend is a fail ending-wise, but the 1st hour ain't that bad.

Really? You guys were not Expecting Batman & Robin to go first round?

Love I am Legend being picked. So not obvious.
