I'll vote for Titanic, too. The only reason I went was for the CGI, as with the "Kong" remake. Both mistakes.

Brokeback Mountain indeed, broke my back. Like Hollywood hyping the violence in "Passion," they hyped the homosexual element
with the same passion. From a cinematic standpoint, a colossal bore -- nothing but two-shots... the initial love scene wasn't sensuality, it was rape... the only saving grace were the two roles portrayed by their long-suffering wives. Not worthy of a second look, for sure.

M. Night Sam-the-sham should have quit with The Sixth Sense. His recent attempt ("Signs") with Mel Gibson cornering a rubber-suited alien in his Midwest kitchen was reminiscent of, "Plan Nine From Outer Space" (with profuse apologies to Ed Wood).

I'm going to stick with the classics. Like, "The Flintstones."

I swear sometimes, I think we share the same brain! hahaha.
I'm going to post a topic on CGI because I think it really effects how actors work these days....

HONORABLE MENTION:

The latest "Star Wars" installments.

What Lucas excels in is CGI artwork, state of-the-art graphics.

But his directorial skills leave something to be desired. This inevitably occurs when the director is more skilled in the latest digital innovations (ex-art director Ridley Scott, for example) than in people skills.

The acting displayed by the two co-stars, Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman was abysmal, non-existent. The sexual heat they generated wasn't enough to light a birthday candle. Christensen as the Young Darth Vader? What, wasn't Justin Timberlake available?
Even the dynamic Samuel L. Jackson, normally a powerhouse in anything he's cast in, seemed to be walking through his lines line a man sleepwalking. And when I see actors with the emotional depth of Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson relegated to fleshless, robotic suggestions of super heroes, I wonder: How much did they get PAID to star in this movie? Next stop, a video game arcade near you.

Where is Harrison Ford and Alec Guinness when we need them?

“Whatever works.”

Harrison Ford was too busy figuring out whether he wanted to do the next Indiana Jones. "He chose poorly". Alec Guiness was too busy turning over in his grave, trying to dig deeper to get away from the mess Lucas created. Wink

I hear they're coming out with a new Terminator! That should be Oscar-bound! hahahaa.

Only looking back after all these years on those seminal Star Wars films did I realize how GOOD Harry Ford was as Han Solo, and what a coup it was to get Guinness to portray Obi-Wan . Pure genius.

Any leading man can (and has) played Batman. But a lesser actor in these roles would have made the the entire effort read like a comic book. What red-blooded New Yorker hasn't recited, "Are you talkin' to ME??" in the mirror? But try selling: "I love you." "I know." Classic.

Thats so funny, I was watching Empire the other night, and I was talking with my friend about that line. It was perfect, dead on! yeah, he made that character real, and fun. I mean, imagine the lines these people had to deal with!:

"Its the ship that made the kessel run in less than 12 parceks"

"But I was gonna go to Tashi station and pick up some power converters!" (quite possibly the whiniest line in any movie, ever)

"Who you callin' scruffy lookin?" (after being called a nerf herder...whatever the hell that is)

Don't even get me started with Yoda's lines!

There's plenty more, but most aren't in english. I like yoto! yoto! (I think every alien in that movie says that at some point)

hoooditiiiiiiiiiii !!!!!!!!
