Top ten movie flops of the decade (http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.reuters.com/top-10-movie-flops-decade-reuters)

Discuss. I'm surprised that "The Spirit" and "Catwoman" were on there. I thought they were pretty good.

"The Adventures of Pluto Nash" was a national crisis. It was a movie with Eddie Murphy starring as Pluto Nash. It was set in the future. It was just a really bad movie. So much hype was built up on it and it failed to deliver.

Also surprised I haven't heard of some of these movies, guess it was for the better.

Grindhouse was awesome.

Yes, but if you look at it, the film costed 67 million to make, but only grossed 25 million; just short of cutting half the production. That's not very good.

Even with the reactions given by fans of Quentin, he was probably disappointed in the overall gross of the film, considering how much he spent on it. I think any director would be upset by this.

Excuse me for appreciating the classics.

You, sir, are an idiot.

Appreciating classics is fine, but appreciations for comedies and other genres are also needed.

I love every genre. But when it comes to inappropriate humor and flopping dicks on my TV screen, I dun care.
Sugaree

The flopping dicks scene. I have to admit, that got me laughing, but after seeing it a second time I had decided to skip it. That's the only BAD part of Borat, but the rest is fine by me. Inappropriate humor has to be the best type of humor. What do you want? Knock-knock jokes? Inappropriate humor has survived because it gets people laughing hard. I believe a man named George Carlin proved that.

Okay. I cried when George Carlin died! SHITFUCKTITTYPUSSY!

I like stuff like Blazing Saddles, Idiocracy, and Spaceballs. :)

Idiocracy was great. Mike Judge at his best since "Beavis and Butthead".

BRAWNDO!

Land of the Lost was awful. The TV show was better, and it was shot with 8mm film! They had no right in making it into a movie. It's not being stuffy, it's being a critic ;).

My friend just emailed me telling me how much he hated Gran Torino. I want to fucking stab him.

10, 000 BC and Pathfinder were also horrible.

I thought Land of the Lost was hilarious. Absolutely terrible plot, but it had some very funny lines.
