Not so much of a 4th quarter meltdown other than the start of the 4th where we just couldn't score (Jeter Beno Greene UselessLandry Dalembert if I'm not wrong). Continued to turn the ball over as we had the whole game, but this time Omri was missing his 3s so we lost the lead. Just didn't get stops when we needed em, turned the ballover at critical junctures, and missed shots

when will paul westphal get it into his head that lineup wont work.....

for all the hustle and energy landry brings it negates everything with his lack of height, and unwillingness to pass. not bashing him but he's like a younger version of kenny thomas. we dont need to fall for that again

It's not so much Landry's fault individually, but just as a unit the five of them don't work. Landry does not set good screens and recently decided that he can't hit an outside shot anymore, so Beno can't really do anything. Jeter's range is limited and doesn't function well as a spot up shooter (because he'd have to be substantially in the arc). Greene's shooting is just bleh nowadays ... And with that lineup nobody is really getting into the lane either to create shot opportunities for outside shooters. Thus, offense became a) Landry forces a shot without passing, b) Beno tries to draw a foul on a midrange jumpshot, c) Jeter does what Landry does.
 
Try watching Sean Connery in Zardoz. That is worse than watching missed free throws and utter failure to move the ball against a zone defense.
 
The happening is absolutely terrible. I was shocked it didnt ruin Marky Marks career.

Don't disagree at all with this either -- that was just hilariously shockingly awful. Well...after about the first 5 minutes that were actually very briefly creepy. Should also note that the Philly scenes in that movie were all shot in Center City within about 4-5 blocks of my old apartment there -- not only did I know the buildings, I recognized the sidewalks and park benches too (Rittenhouse Square in particular (should mention an incredibly gorgeous place at night when its raining with all the mist filtering down from abover lit up by the glow of the surrounding skyscrapers)).
 
Thompson's turnover at the end of the game in which he's on the sideline trying to squirt the ball to Tyreke who is also on the sideline deserves special mention. That's about as brain dead as you can get - from both Tyreke (who trapped himself on the sideline) and Thompson.
It's time for Westphal to take the gloves off with this team.
 
Kings weren't sharp tonight on O, turned the ball over 20 times, their big man fouled out after 31 dominating minutes....and they lost by three points. Even with the L you have to consider it progress considering how they played and the opponent they played against.
 
Worst movie ever: Transformers 2. I think I made it about half way through that one. It was sad because I actually really enjoyed the first Transformers movie.
 
Just going to be a bummer once again. Wasn't I the only one who had no hope in that last 1.30 min of the game that we would actually win it? Tyreke forcing it as always, Dalembert with a very rushed and ill advised attempt (which was a wtf moment). This team is too dumb to win games in the clutch.

I love thoughtful, inciteful critiques.

Yeah, I blame both of them. I couldn't understand why Tyreke just stood there, giving Thompson no room to pass the ball. All he had to do was cut toward the middle of the floor and there would have been no problem. I also couldn't understand why Dalembert decided to throw up a shot after grabbing the rebound, instead of bringing the ball back out.

Me and a few friends, not including the two who walked out mid way through, burst into laughter when Optimus Prime, or whoever it was, went to robot heaven. That scene was so amazingly bad. It also managed to be kind of racist, even though I don't consider my self overly politically correct those two "urban" robots were such blatantly offensive stereotypes. Not sure how Bay go away with that one.

Also how can Hercules in New York be on this list? Its hilarious, just such a so bad its good kind of movie.
 
Hurt Locker is probably the worst movie I've ever seen.

It wasn't the worst movie...but should NOT have won ANY award over Avatar.

Only reason it did is because Kathryn Bigelow is the ex of James Cameron...IMO.

My favorite part was when they exited the Smithsonian Museum into the middle of a desert in Arizona or Nevada or something. The mind boggles.

I have to disagree. I thought The Hurt Locker was a much better movie. A really interesting character study looking at what makes a heroic individual beyond, or even in spite of, their morality. And how being that type of guy spills over into mundane day to day life. Really well directed and Jeremy Renner was perfect for the role.

I'm not gonna bash on Avatar, definitely enjoyed it, but outside of the visuals I don't think it was anything special.

They actually ended up in Egypt somehow, although I didn't really follow that scene either. My favorite part was how after they got to the desert they did all that exciting walking for the next two freakin hours.

Took them so long to get to where they had to go in that end scene. The heaven scene was horrible. Everything was so bad.
 
Not even close -- and I don't think much of them.

I think people do not even know how bad it can get when they suggest things like that -- I am going to show you. :)

Two words: Category 7 (link)

Think The Day After Tomorrow meets 2012, and throw in the laughable disastrousness of Batman and Robin, and you're only about halfway there. Because it's so unfathomably unfathomable how unfathomably bad this movie is (and I use the word "movie" loosely), let me just say this: The movie ends about an hour before it actually goes off.

You, sir, have just spawned a spin-off theme.
 
Alien 51 (2004) (IMDB Rating 2.1) -- as a geral rule here I have tried to avoid the modern amateur stuff -- in the digital age, anybody with a digital camcorder can be a moviemaker. This was not that. It was worse. A number of the terrible movies above qualified as an odd form of comedy. They were entertainingly awful. This was not. But its right there as the most awful awful movie I have ever encountered.

And yet you made me watch it...
