Alright, let’s talk about these movies, you know, the ones made by them big-shot directors, the fellas everyone says are so great. But guess what? Even those fancy directors, they make some real stinkers sometimes. Yeah, you heard that right, stinkers! Terrible movies, the kind that make you wanna throw your popcorn at the screen.
Some magazine, Rolling Stone I think it was called, they went and made a list. A whole list of 50 terrible movies by great directors. Can you believe it? Fifty! That’s a whole lotta bad movies. Makes you wonder what they were thinkin’, you know?
Now, I ain’t seen all these movies myself, mind you. I ain’t got that kinda time. But I heard about some of ’em. Like that Indiana Jones movie, the one with the aliens. People say it was just awful. And that fella Spielberg, he made that! The same guy who made that shark movie, the one that scared everyone outta the water. Goes to show ya, even the best can mess up real bad.
- There’s this movie called Jack, somethin’ about a kid growin’ up real fast. Folks say it’s weird and not in a good way.
- And another one, North, I hear that one’s even worse. Can’t imagine how bad it gotta be.
- Then there’s this Alien 3. I liked the one before it with that Sigourney Weaver lady kickin’ butt. But this one, they just messed it all up. Put her on some prison planet with only one alien, killed off most of the folks from the last movie. Only reason it ain’t totally garbage is ‘cause that Fincher fella, he did the directin’. He’s pretty good, you know, made some other good ones. But even he couldn’t save that mess.
It’s funny, ain’t it? These directors, they get all this praise, all this money. And then they go and make somethin’ like The Fountain or The Good German or that movie about Joan of Arc. Folks call these movies all sorts of names. Lazy, they say. But I just think they lost their way, you know? Got too caught up in their own fancy ideas.
Now, sometimes it ain’t even the director’s fault. Sometimes, the movie gets taken away from ’em. Them studio folks, they start messin’ with it, cuttin’ it up, changin’ things. And then the director, they don’t even want their name on it no more. They use some fake name, like Alan Smithee or somethin’. But the movie still got their name on it, even if it ain’t really their movie no more. It’s a darn shame, if you ask me.
So, yeah, even the great directors, they make mistakes. They make terrible movies. It just goes to show ya, nobody’s perfect. Not even them Hollywood hotshots. And you know what? That makes me feel a little better about my own mistakes. We all mess up sometimes, that’s just life.
But still, you gotta wonder, how do these guys go from makin’ masterpieces to makin’ messes? Maybe they get too much pressure, you know? Everyone expectin’ ’em to make another hit, another award-winner. And sometimes, they just can’t do it. Or maybe they just get tired, run outta ideas. Who knows? It ain’t for me to say.
But one thing’s for sure, this list of 50 terrible movies, it’s a good reminder that even the best ain’t always the best. And that even a bad movie can be entertainin’, in its own way. You know, you can watch it with your friends and laugh about how bad it is. Sometimes, that’s just as fun as watchin’ a good movie. Maybe even more fun.
So, next time you see a movie by a big-shot director, don’t get your hopes up too high. It might be good, it might be bad. You never know. But that’s half the fun ain’t it? Never knowin’ what you’re gonna get ‘til you sit yourself down and watch. That’s what I always say, anyhow. And don’t forget, even the greatest directors have made some real terrible movies. It’s just part of the game, I guess.
Anyways, that’s my two cents on the matter. You take it or leave it. I gotta go make some supper now. Them grandkids are comin’ over and they get hungry as bears, you know.
