Ask Lemmy

Too many to list, but I take Tomato scores with a grain of salt unless they're unusually low. I don't know if I just have a high tolerance for crappy movies or scores are too intolerant there. I've also seen a good number with high scores I thought should be low. Sometimes they rate movies highly just for being unusual or for having some kind of social message, but that hardly ever means better.

Sgt Bilko, sitting at 30% from the critics, 47% from viewers.

I thought it was absolutely hilarious when I was about 13, and honestly, it holds up on a re-watch now, if only because Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd.

Any transformers movie. I just like seeing a bunch of cars transform into robots to then fight each other.

Small Apartments - 30%

It seems like almost no one has even seen this movie. An ex-partner of mine rented it from RedBox one night. I thought it looked dumb, but I watched it anyway. It is rather dumb, but it's also amazing. An incredibly dark comedy. My love of that movie has long outlasted that relationship.

Matt Lucas, James Marsden, Peter Stormare, Dolph Lundgren, Johnny Knoxville, James Caan, Billy Crystal, Juno Temple, Rebel Wilson, Saffron Burrows, Rosie Perez, and Amanda Plummer; An amazing, eclectic cast who deliver an idiosyncratic script expertly, managing to give us an ought-to-be cult classic that's more than the sum of its parts.

"Freddy Got Fingered". So stupid and obnoxious that it might actually be brilliant. Arguably

Ang Lee's Hulk.

It’s a smidge over the threshold (63% reviewer score and 29% audience score) but I like this one more than the Ed Norton one (and the thought of him shifting based on heartrate is so fucking dumb) and I’m just kinda meh about Ruffalo’s Hulk.

Rotten tomatoes is a terrible site to sort/filter by. Dear god what terrible UI.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

I was genuinely impressed by this movie

Fired Up. Sitting at 24 percent from critics.

Was it as good as Not Another Teen Movie? No, probably not. But it still had some hilarious moments and lines. I especially enjoyed the long running jokes they kept sneaking in throughout the movie.

I honestly really liked The New Mutants and the idea of a superhero movie where everything happens in only one place.

Envy (2004) starting Jack Black and Ben Stiller. I recently rewatched this as it had been 10+ years since I last saw it. I was pretty surprised to see how poorly rated it was. Supposedly Jack and Ben even apologized for it. I don't know, I still think it's funny.

Zardoz. 49% at RT. I genuinely love it. It's insane and weird and doesn't make sense and it's wonderful. I even have an original poster framed in my house.

Hellraiser: Inferno. Producers should not have latched on to the Hellraiser franchise (I think it was a script rewritten for the purpose), but it has this cool premise of a guy entering an alternate, surreal reality.

I love the Hellraiser franchise and don’t really consider this part of it but I do rewatch this movie every few years for the cool daily-life-twisted feel.
