    This doesn't sit well with BlackBerry owners...

    Waiting for this to hit stores just becomes more painful. I must have it!

    Here's a look at the cars used in The Avengers, including Tony Stark's Acura NSX Roadster Concept (which supposedly can't go over 10 mph, or the body panels fly off! )

    Then that means you haven't seen Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, which has been ranked as the worst Heisei-era Godzilla film.

    That movie was a complete embarrassment to the Godzilla name.

    The movie premieres this Friday. So far, most of the critics who screened it like it. Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 64%

    I currently have an Acer Aspire ZG5 that's running on Ubuntu 12.04 as my secondary unit. It's second-hand, as my brother abandoned it, but it hasn't given me any headaches since I upgraded it on March (aside from it being pretty slow). As for specs, it's a single-core Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz, 1.5 GB DDR2 RAM (upgraded from 1 GB), 160GB SATA HDD (upgraded from 8GB SSD), 802.11g wi-fi and a 6-cell Li-Ion battery (replacing the dead 3-cell it came with). Overall, I still prefer my Asus laptop, but if I were to buy another netbook, I'll definitely consider Acer.

    He was also in xXx: State of the Union, but does anyone even like that movie?

    I guess I should nominate Bunraku as not just one of the worst sci-fi movies of all time, but also a perfect cure for insomnia.

    By all means, I don't consider Sky Captain to be one of the worst movies ever made. It's just a disappointing movie. Jumper, on the other hand...

    For printers, I swear only by Epson. Their dot-matrix printers are bulletproof and their color printers have always been excellent in quality. Plus, since their inks are alcohol-based, the printouts dry faster and don't smudge. I owned a Canon printer once. The black wasn't as dark as on other printers and the feeding mechanism conked out on me after a year. When I took it to Best Buy to have it fixed, I ended up having it recycled instead. What a waste of $150. I've never personally owned an HP printer, but it's what my office uses. So far, they're user-friendly, but Epson is still better when it comes to print quality. Stay away from Lexmark. Their printers are very flimsy and their print quality is crap.

    On this week's episode of Hikounin Sentai Akibaranger: Episode 8: "The Bonds of Painful Special Training Are the Authorization Road's Conspiracy Intersection" (痛き特訓の絆は公認ロードの陰謀交差点) Special Guest: None Hiroyo takes a leave from the cafe to investigate on the origins of ©Na, who turns out to be one of her father's creations alongside the MMZ-01. Meanwhile, the Akibarangers encounter a weak Chief Clerk and train him to be a more worthy opponent. Following a very strong episode 7 is one that is random at most. We have the Akibarangers throwing this week's baddie, Tsukishima Alpaca, into several scenes from past Super Sentai shows. Yes, it's nostalgic, but this episode feels somewhat repetitive and not as funny. And Alpaca looks to be the second-coming of Jellacit from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. At least we get to see the Inordinate Powers formed together into the Akibarangers' super weapon. And I can't wait to see the Z-Cune Aoi anime in full. Next week, on Hikounin Sentai Akibaranger: Episode 9: "The Pain Sentai, Breaks Up." (痛戦隊、解散。) All these delusions begin to take their toll on our heroes. Good boys and girls shouldn't watch.

    I will admit that I have lost one round of Bad Movie Night, but it was more of a Wild Card. I got dragged into watching Jason X with my friends on premiere night. Worst $8.00 I ever spent in my life. That reminds me - I should add that to my Bad Movie Night arsenal.

    Very solid choices I see, but are half of them still available at rental stores? Anyway, here are some other lethal shots of poison: 1. Double Dragon - This was the undisputed worst fighting game movie ever made until The King of Failures showed up. It still makes Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li look like Goodfellas. Hell, if you're a masochist, watch it right now on YouTube. 2. Fist of the North Star (1995) - The worst adaptation of a martial arts manga ever (maybe next to Dragonball: Evolution). Don't believe me? Then knock yourself out. 3. G-Saviour - It was horrid enough for Yoshiyuki Tomino to walk out of the theater during its premiere night in Tokyo. As a matter of fact, you can actually watch it in full on YouTube because nobody wants to file a copyright claim on it.

    See, the only reason why I only remember the Statue of Liberty scene in MIB2 is because the statue itself is a giant Neuralyzer. Maybe that's why people forgot about the movie.

    Try watching The King of Fighters and tell us if you still think Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is the worst. I think I mentioned on the previous thread that Sky Captain tried too hard to be an homage to the serials of the 1930s and 1940s, except it forgot that serials are only supposed to run around 15 minutes. Also, I still don't get how the movie cost over US$70 million to make if it was done entirely in a digital backlot (Angelina Jolie wasn't that expensive at the time) and the CG looks no different from PlayStation 2 graphics (at least on a Blu-ray copy I rented, which means the movie has not aged very well).

    What was MIB2 about, anyway? I kinda forgot about it after the Statue of Liberty scene.
  19. areaseven
    Worse than Volcano (1997)?

    Dude, seriously, just for that song? It's only on the end credits. You can just watch the movie and leave before the end credits, as there are no after-credit scenes. And I thought people would boycott it for Lady Gaga...

    As I mentioned earlier, I can beat anyone in this challenge with Inspector Gadget, Steel, and Captain America (1990). Here's an extra set of bad movies that will guarantee a win: 1. The King of Fighters - Undoubtedly the Battlefield Earth of video game movies, this has absolutely nothing to do with the SNK-Playmore game franchise (other than the character names) and it actually beats all Uwe Boll films in every category. 2. Resiklo - The Philippines' sad attempt at a mecha sci-fi film. The title itself means "recycle", and that's exactly what it does: recycle plots from Battlefield Earth and a dozen other films, as well as mecha designs from Mechwarrior. Without a doubt, this movie belongs in the recycle bin. 3. The Time Machine - The 2002 adaptation of H. G. Wells' classic novel directed by his great-grandson Simon Wells (and partially by Gore Verbinski) was a big-budget disaster. The storyline was crap, the acting was crap and even at 96 minutes, it felt like three dragging hours.

    The original thread may be locked, but there will never be an end to the debate. Whether it's Battlefield Earth, Highlander II, G-Saviour or anything directed by Uwe Boll or produced by The Asylum, we'll always have our arguments over which is the worst science fiction movie of all time. To start things off, let's play a little game called Bad Movie Night, which was inspired by my own experience. Over a decade ago, my old roommate kept on telling me that Wild Wild West was the worst movie ever made. I hadn't seen the movie, but as bad as the reviews were, I disagreed with him. So we did a bad movie challenge. He had me watch Wild Wild West, while I made him watch a bad movie of my choice. I made him watch Disney's Inspector Gadget. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhC2bqVxoA4 A week later, he demanded a rematch. He had me watch I Got the Hook Up. So it was a typical rap movie, but not as bad as he said it was. And it made me feel bad because I made him watch Steel. Round 3 came, and he challenged me to watch Cyborg. At this point, I wasn't sure if he was trying at all or his movie pain threshold was just really low. Needless to say, my challenge to him for round 3 was the 1990 Captain America movie. We did one final round because he wanted me to watch The Wizard. You know, that theatrical Nintendo commercial with the Power Glove and Super Mario Bros. 3. I ended the round with Robotech II: The Sentinels. So with this in mind, if you were to challenge a friend to Bad Movie Night, what three movies would you make them watch that would guarantee you a win (provided they haven't seen them yet)? And what would you wager (whether it's a buck or a drink)?

    Friday Report: MIB3 Takes Top Spot from Avengers It's Will Smith, of course. No one has ever denied him the top spot at the box-office over the past decade. MIB3 didn't beat its predecessors on opening weekend, but still, US$18 million is not too bad.
