Maybe I don't remember Day After Tomorrow well enough (gladly), but come on. Dick Cheney shows up at the end to tell everyone its our fault?

The Day After Tomorrow can actually quite enjoyable if you think of it as a comedy and watch it with a bunch of scientist in a place where its acceptable to make biting satiric comments and shout at the movie whenever appropriate.
There is another whole class of movies that are so so very bad that they rap around to be good again or at least funny enough to watch repeatedly, at least with the right company.
One of my favorites is "Night of the Lepus", a horror movie about a genetic engineering experiment gone bad that results in herds of giant killer bunnies on the rampage.

Ah, so THAT'S the secret! I was watching it with a bunch of creationist relatives!

Kate Beckinsale was even hotter in Click IMHO. I couldn't believe how gorgeous she was when I first saw that. But she was indeed tasty in Underworld.
Evil Dead 2
The first one was just terrifying and for that I give it props, although I am not a fan of the horror genre.
The third one was so bad it was awesome, and so many cool lines come out of it.
But two was just not scary, not funny, not awesome, not worth watching.

That was the only part of the movie when I was entertained, and it probably wasn't for the reason that the director had in mind.

I recently saw (most of) Click on TV, and the whole time I was thinking to myself that she was way too beautiful to be Adam Sandler's wife.

As far as I'm concerned Wanted had two scenes: the one with Angelina's naked backside, and the one when she kissed the main guy in front of his ex-girlfriend. There wasn't a sound in the whole theatre at the last one; men or women, they were all quiet. I found that extremely hilarious. Posts: 4519 | Registered: Sep 2003

Yeah, I liked it, too.
Thought of another: The Neverending Story II. No matter how much I liked seeing Jonathan Brandis in Sea Quest, it's like pulling teeth to watch even five minutes of that movie.

Edited for spelling.
Yeah, I can only see it working as a comedy. Even when you throw out the bad science, I still thought it was an absolutely awful movie.
I am tempted to get the rifftrax for it, though.
Edit: And apparently the preview scene covers one of the most memorable parts of the movie for me.
quote: Character 1 tosses a pile of books into the fireplace. Character 2: What are you doing? Character 1: What did you think we were going to burn? Commentary: The furniture?
And we're really supposed to care whether or not these people die more so than the hundreds of others we've already seen get killed? I was never really convinced.

Jawbreaker. I'm still humiliated that I stuck with it until the end. I don't know how I live with myself.

QFT. But this makes me want to rent "Ladybugs" again. I sure miss old Jon.

Why Wanted, Pegasus? I mean, I wouldn't nominate it for any Academy Awards, but I enjoyed it fine. It was exactly what I expected it to be, and that was what I wanted.

It didn't work. Of the 100 on that list, I've only seen ONE of them.
I tried watching the trailers for those with a friend of mine. Wow......

Possibly their expectations were raised sky-high by Silverado. They wanted Kasdan to do another tongue-in-cheek old school Western, with all the trimmings.
