The shittest/most hideous moments in modern cinema

what... how.... why...

I mean, how did this come about? Who looked at this scene in the script and said, 'you know who'd be perfect for this? Jim Davidson!!! Call his agent!!' Then, Jim gets the pages via courier, reads them and exclaims 'I'll do it!!!'

The world is a place beyond our understanding, more wonderful and terrible than we dare imagine.

Seeing Tim Booth from James in Batman Begins or Joanna Lumley in The Wolf of Wall Street really pales into insignificance in the face of this footage.

What next: Roy Chubby Brown as a crooning rent-boy in Ferrara's Pasolini bio-pic?

[Absorb the anus burn]

The Coen Brothers remake of The Ladykillers is the worst film I've seen in twenty-five years... I'd happily watch Jim Davidson in a Dogma remake of Mamma Mia (in the Meryl Streep role naturally) rather than see Tom Hanks and company fail to conjure up any of the charm, pathos, wit and character eccentricity that the original has in spades.

Actual scene: the face slapping........... Fuck off.

I'll tell you what about the Davidson clip, though. He's never looked more alive. Funny that.

The entirety of Die Another Day - all the stupid bits from Moonraker, but none of the fun.

The entirety of Die Another Day - all the stupid bits from Moonraker, but none of the fun.

I'm watcing moonraker on UTV right now, the laser beams are just laughable. Pretty fun film though.

That awful chirpy defiant little Mockney French kid in Les Miserables. Ever loathsome, but when he started caterwauling that piss-poor song about every dog having its day or something, I began praying for someone to blow his irksome little head off.

And then - someone did!

My only regret was that it wasn't nastier. That little pus bucket deserved to suffer.

What the fuck? Why, what.....

I think you just broke my brain you bastard.

Chandler Bing has let himself go.

In terms of kids ruining films, you can't do much better than Clint Eastwood's Hereafter: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1212419/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_4

An abortion of a film that shows how much of a talentless hack Eastwood is, and how terribly child actors can make a fucking awful film into a really fucking awful film.

[Unoriginal]

The entire second half of The Dark Knight Rises is appalling. It's the only time where I have been in a cinema and audibly muttered 'for fucks sake' when the 'anarchy' scene began. All of Antichrist too.

A blood-curdling torture scene which was plagiarised by Bret Easton Ellis with the rats.

[non capisco]

I nominate the insufferable smugness of the scene in Ocean's Twelve where they get out of a jam by pretending the character played by Julia Roberts is the real life Julia Roberts. There were erroneous tabloid reports that someone kicked in their television out of sheer rage at what they were seeing during the Sex Pistols' appearance on whatever that show was called that Bill Grundy hosted in 1976. For a few minutes watching that bit in Ocean's Twelve I very nearly was that imaginary man.

[Oops! Wrong Planet]

The moments where Owen Wilson meets famous authors and artists in Midnight in Paris

I like Woody Allen and I like Manhattan Murder Mystery, but I cringe when he gurns towards the camera in response to Diane Keaton at the very end of the film.  It's completely out of character and looks like he's trying to ingratiate himself with the audience, the fall-out from the Soon Yi affair having just become public.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lSiZG_bOhA

The film career of Richard Curtis.

In particular Love Actually, and in particular all the scenes with Hugh Grant and Liam Neeson. A rancid shit-fest of mythic proportions. I was paid to watch it, luckily, but even then I chewed my knuckles off in horror.

It's hard to believe this is the same guy who created Blackadder. About Time looks hideous - as one reviewer suggested, it looks like it's set in a happy, glowing Tony Blair 'Cool Britannia' Britain. A couple of reviews claimed it's not quite as vaccous as the trailers suggest, but I think those brief clips were actually enough to give me a sudden, mild dislike of Bill Nighy.

I wish I was blind.

*shudder* Tim Burton's jumping the shark moment.

[Pepotamo1985]

Nick Love's films are filled with awful bits, but Outlaw really has some terrible quotes, such as:

Pretty much the entirety of The Dark Knight Rises is appalling.

Yes.

Derek and Clive have let themselves go.

[leighhart]

Yes.

Indeed.

I saw a film starring Asia Argento once and her co-star was playing a late night radio DJ who loved jazz. His on air eulogies to Miles Davis were so vile that even the promise of being able to view Asia's tits and bum could not keep me watching the film.

Talking of bums, Michael Douglas' semi nude scenes in Basic Instinct and Madonna's sex scenes and 'have you ever fucked on cocaine?' bit in that similar film were particularly shitty.

It's shocking to hear Billy Bragg use such foul language. He and his mate are effin and jeffin like there's no 'tomorrah'.

[holyzombiejesus]

That bit in the first Raimi Spider-Man film where the citizens of New York all gang up on the Green Goblin and go all 'don't fuck with New York', was that tacked on due to the Twin Towers attack? I know that some extra scenes were shot and the film was edited due to 9/11, and that scene has always clanged for me.

Also, 'The Shins will change your life' bit in Garden State.

[grassbath]

The ending of Man of Steel where Superman, Lois Lane in his arms, descends to a vast arena of utter death and destruction he is partly responsible for. There are better examples from that film but every time I try and think about it too much a fresh hemorrhoid grows on my brain.

The gas mask bit in Insidious.

I was just about going along with the film, despite it being a total rip-off, COUGH, sorry, homage to Poltergeist.  But then the gas mask came out and I lost all interest.  It may as well have been Jim Davidson taking a dump on screen.


Synopsis of Insidious 2 makes it sound like Poltergeist 2.

No one has yet mentioned the infamous "nuke the fridge" scene in Indiana Jones 4.  It's hilarious, but I'm not sure it was intended to be.

I wish I was blind.

Horrible. Reminds me of a line from the Has-Been William Shatner track, "I Cant Get Behind That' where he is aghast at the new KFC commercial.

"The Colonel is break-dancing! Give me a break!.'

I don't mind an unexpected end sequence dance out (The Blues Brothers, Oh Lucky Man) but I thought this was far too button pressing.

There's a bit of acting that Ryan Gosling does in Only God Forgives that is among the worst things I've ever seen.

I really liked Only God Forgives and have a lot of time for Ryan Gosling, buy when he shouts his voice goes really high and he sounds like a silly billy.

All of Gangster Squad was fucking wank but the nadir is the bit where Gosling is shouting at his friend and he screams like a toddler having a paddy because he isn't allowed to have a choc ice before his tea

Compared to some of the shit that came later on (jungle bulldozer, 'Tarzan', anything involving Ray Winstone's character, aliens!... etc. etc.), the fridge scene was half-decent.

Terrible film.

[thraxx]

The bit in the Prometheus, where having established himself as a surly, unfriendly, mercenary, take-no-risks bastard, and fucking off back to the ship, the ginger geologist bloke just decides to wander off with some fucker he doesn't know and start fucking around with the clearly dangerous black gloop and the entirely new alien species in the water.   Can't think about it too much because it drives me fucking mad, mainly because I just can't work out how the people that made it let it get through.

For some reason, the fridge scene is the only thing I remember about it (which I credit to its internet ubiquity more than anything else), other than aliens suddenly turning up at the end.  I'm sure it was terrible but it appears that its worst crime is being utterly dull and forgetable.
