Finest Bad Movie Review Ever2008Mar26
This brings me to my major point. To qualify as one of the worst films of all time, several strict requirements must be met. For starters, a truly awful movie must have started out with some expectation of not being awful. That is why making a horrific, cheapo motion picture that stars Hilton or Jessica Simpson is not really much of an accomplishment. Did anyone seriously expect a film called The Hottie and The Nottie not to suck? Two, an authentically bad movie has to be famous; it can’t simply be an obscure student film about a boy who eats live rodents to impress dead girls. Three, the film cannot be a deliberate attempt to make the worst movie ever, as this is cheating.
He names the worst film ever. I won’t spoil it for you.

Joe Queenan is my favorite writer. I’ve read a few of his books. Brutally funny.

I hated the Deer Hunter to the point of anger. Heavens Gate ruined Michael Cimino’s career.

@MAS – he’s a fave of mine from when he was writing for Spy Magazine.
@Sassy – Deer Hunter was at one time mystifyingly well-reviewed as a seminal Vietnam picture. I agree, not a good movie. I would love to hear your review of Deer Hunter though!!!
