Here's a bad one. After watching X-Men The Last Stand I thought it was so terrible that I wanted to know what the director (Brett Ratner) had to say about this crapsterpiece.
Among a lot of bad scenes, one that stood out to me was at the start of an assault, Ian MacKallen as Magneto tells Pyro something like "Wait. In chess the pawns go first". Then they send in a bunch of useless mutants who get slaughtered. It pans back to Magneto and he says "That's why in chess the pawns go first". I thought, does the director think the audience is full of idiots? Did he really just have this famous actor repeat the same line within 3 minutes?
When it gets there in the director's commentary, Ratner says something like "Yeah, we really had this academy award winning actor say the same thing twice." He knew it was bad, and he still did it! Why? In general, I felt like his commentary was an insight into the mindset needed to make shitty movies.
