As in like, I get there's really terrible B-movies and shit like Neil Breen's work that ends up on BOTW, but what's the worst movie that actually had a decent sized budget and was made by an actual movie studio and maybe even had some somewhat well known actors in it?

"The flash" had me genuinely gut laughing towards the end. that movie is so bad it folds time and space to be good again.

"Speak no evil." it was a chuddish european movie to begin with; with the aesop of "being too polite as an European will encourage the outsiders to rape your churches and burn your wimmen." The American version is somehow worse. Framing the adaptation with the plight of an "americuck" turning into an "americhad" because he embraced violence against the savage other. And somehow it is made even worse because it ends in an action sequence with a taunting american movie villain we've seen already in 100 Charles Bronson movie clones.

"Flight risk." It is glorious on how off putting it is: It has a Rapey mark Baldberg it has a ton of bad decisions only to keep the movie rolling and some of the most artificial tension ever committed to film, then there's the fact it is a one set movie where the off putting characters yap and yap constantly playing eyerolling "mindgames." But the worst part is the movie is so smug about it. It frames everything with this attitude of "look at us making a true antiwoke American edgy movie." And in reality this shit had me yawning at the mid point. This movie was released when trump took presidency a year ago, with director Mel Gibson lauded as an anti woke ambassador for True American Cinema. (TM) In the following year Mel Gibson has been a b-list actor in some made for tv movies nobody wants to see and producing a "sequel" To his passion of Christ movie nobody wants to see either.

I am kind of excited for the resurrection of Christ with how much cadmium and lead Gibson has floating around in his brain; I'm betting that shit will be terrible. Mel gib sum bad slop please.
