Same here: We all know the Empowered Role-Model Heroine, but quick, who was the robot? Who was the blind Jedi?
Who was the token-male Mr. Sleazypants that Disney’s streaming service now wants to spin off into his own series?
Because…Gus Van Sant sorta-wanted to do it, as he Thought It Might Be Fun to Run a Classic.
Um, pretty much. No, really. The studio didn’t know why either.
(At least we got “Psycho II” because Universal was trying to figure out what to do with an alternate Hitchcock storyboard for the shower scene.)
Re: “Rogue One”, there was Bail Organa (Jimmy Smits), Darth Vader and CGI as both Tarkin and Leia. I thought it was OK, but "Solo" is my favorite of the Disney "Star Wars" movies.
As for "Psycho II", it was actually pretty good, with some interesting twists. Not as good as the original, but what could be?
Oh, and I think the Jim Carrey "Grinch" movie would be a good candidate. Thoroughly unnecessary, and a complete reversal of the message of the original story. Haven't seen the new animated version.
And I still can't think of a MSTed movie that descends to the level of "waste of celluloid". Maybe I'm just too soft-hearted when it comes to MST experiments.
Meanwhile, I’m going to go out on a prognosticating limb here and speculate that the forthcoming “Bumblebee” will fit squarely into the “not-worth-the-film-stock-its-printed-on” category.
The Purge franchise.
MST–Starfighters
Non-MST–All That Jazz
Just saw the trailer for “Bumblebee” and I have to agree with you. Now to wash my eyes.
MST: The Castle of Fu Manchu & Angels Revenge
Non-MST:
The Ghostbusters reboot, everything about that film felt so forced and unfunny.
The live
Bratz The Movie: Horrendous, just horrendous.
Atlantic Rim, but no celluloid was used!
I don’t usually do the “they shouldn’t have made it” thing because most tv/movies out there appeal to at least some small part of the population. I’ve liked plenty of tv/movies that others think should never have been made. The way I look at it is, if you don’t like it, don’t watch it, but don’t spoil others’ enjoyment of it.
That being said, “Sidehackers” has nothing going for it and in my opinion should never have been made. Ditto “The Room”. Even riffing couldn’t save either of those for me.
Atlantic Rim.
Fire Maidens of Outer Space
Someone told Cy Roth about casting couches. He made a movie.
New disclaimer at the end of movies: No film stock was harmed in the making of this motion picture. ;)
(sometimes I’m only amusing myself…)
