The opening number should be of particular interest...

Bad movies are fun - especially those that strive for greatness & wind up in the toilet

Years ago in NYC there was The World's Worst Film Festival . The tag line was "For every Citizen Kane there is a White Pongo". It was a hoot but alas never repeated

I loved The Oscar

The Rent spoof is interesting...

"365 days of terrible movies -- 339 films that everyone cursed / 365 days of Hollywood garbage -- How do you measure, measure what's worst?" the Razzies opened with a musical number sung to the tune of "Rent's" "Seasons of Love."

Dukes of Hazzard was robbed, I tell you! Jessica Simpson should have definitely won over Paris Hilton (who was NOT that bad in House of Wax).

You're the ONLY person who thinks that, 86. Personally it could only be improved if they tracked Hilton down and bludgeoned her worthless head in with the award.

I'm fully convinced that the only reason the film got such negative reviews (AND an uncalled for Razzie nomination) was because of Hilton. The critics were so intent on hating her in it, that it tainted their view of the whole film (which, by slasher standards, was a lot of fun).

Personally it could only be improved if they tracked Hilton down and bludgeoned her worthless head in with the award.

Case in point.

You're the ONLY person who thinks that, 86.

Not really. Ebert and Roeper admitted that she was perfectly fine in the role, and that people are just picking on her. Other critics said the same thing.

Well one bad performance in a fairly small supporting role doesn't make me dislike a film. House Of Wax is a bad movie. Not scary, not suspenseful, poorly directed and edited, horrendous CGI and relentlessly irritating imagery. The film was a MASSIVE disappointment.

You know who would have been REALLY great in Paris' role in House of Wax?
Julie Stiles.

Shove it, CeeCee.

Perhaps you'd have preferred Keira Knightley?

I refer to my previous answer

I thought the image of miss knightley being impaled or beheaded or whatever and then forever immortalized in wax would make you happy, CuCu.

Wouldn't it have been cool if Crash had won the Razzie for Worst Picture AND the Oscar for Best Picture?

Then we'd be talkin' cinematic history!

Or it could be an award of all time, called "Worst Best Picture"!

The film was a MASSIVE disappointment.

If you say so, pop.
