Dumbest movie ever or THE dumbest movie ever?

[russc2542]

I've seen some bad movies/sketchy premises but that takes the cake. I can deal with stupid comedies when it's just farce for laughs, I have issues when they do crap like that trying to make a statement based on the farce.

Unless at the end of the movie a bad person comes to town to do bad things to the women and they go to the guys "save us, save us" and the guys go "oh really?". I don't advocate it IRL but for a stupid movie it works as well as the rest of it.

The entire plot is pretty sexist.

I liked the ancient Greek version of the story better...IIRC the chicks went on the island of Lesbos after cutting their men off from the honey....I remember reading that story my sophomore year and as it got to that part I heard this music being cued up in the background....

Here is the original Greek version of the story.....

Lysistrata (/laɪˈsɪstrətə/ or /ˌlɪsəˈstrɑːtə/; Attic Greek: Λυσιστράτη, "Army Disbander") is a comedy by Aristophanes. Originally performed in classical Athens in 411 BC, it is a comic account of one woman's extraordinary mission to end the Peloponnesian War. Lysistrata persuades the women of Greece to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands and lovers as a means of forcing the men to negotiate peace—a strategy, however, that inflames the battle between the sexes. The play is notable for being an early exposé of sexual relations in a male-dominated society.[SUP][citation needed][/SUP]Additionally, its dramatic structure represents a shift from the conventions of Old Comedy, a trend typical of the author's career.[SUP][2][/SUP] It was produced in the same year as the Thesmophoriazusae, another play with a focus on gender-based issues, just two years after Athens' catastrophic defeat in the Sicilian Expedition.

This isn't a movie to entertain. It is a movie to push a agenda. They don't care if only ten people watch it as long as it convinces them that guns are bad and should be gotten rid of no mater how.

Sanctimonious, condescending, ignorant, unfunny, AND anti-gun?
What's not to love?
I threw up a little in my mouth when I saw someone I do like (Frau Blücher...Winny! Winny! Winny!) Cloris Leachman is in this cineturd.

I click on a thread about dumb movies and end up learning something about classic Greek comedies; only on INGO. A week ago or so, a thread about the song Mack the Knife led me to learn all about the original Three Penny Opera. I may end up educated on theater despite my best efforts.

This film will be lucky if it gets shown anywhere but NY, Chicago and LA.

You could go the opposite way.
Some veterans got together and made a politically incorrect movie making fun of zombie movies.

A movie ??? I thought the goal of making movies was to earn a profit. Who is watching these movies.

No one.
That's why it's opening in so few places.

Sometimes, yes. Equally often the goal is to set oneself up well enough off the profitable ventures that one can make "art" or push an agenda. Many times one has to start making unprofitable films to catch the eye of those that will employ in order to make profitable films.

If a women ever tells you that you have to choose between your gun, dog or her it's time to remind her that a good gun or dog is hard to replace but women like her are a dime a dozen. Then make sure the door does hits her in the a$$ on the way out.

I didn't think there was a movie out there that would make me want to watch the new Point Break but this might be the one that pushes me over the edge

Don't waste your time.
It was a turd

With all of the revamped classics that Hollywood constantly releases a common question is; "Doesn't anyone have any original ideas any more?"


This is the result.

It's not even an original idea though. Spike Lee tried this same crap last year with "Chi-raq." Apparently people thought it was a stupid idea when he did it too. With a budget of $15 million, it grossed $2.5 mil. May this film enjoy equal suck-sess.

I mean seriously, if people don't buy this nonsense in Chicago, did they really think it was going to fly in Texas?? Hollywood really shouldn't try to understand flyover country.

...did they really think it was going to fly in Texas??

It'll be a hit...


In Austin.

"The trailer being an indicator, the women of Rockford band together and decide to withhold sex until their husbands agree to part ways with their true objects of affection — their firearms."

I suspect the movie is a remake of Spike Lee's "Chi-Raq", with a white audience in mind.

Wow thats just plan sad! You poor guys need some,"Ranger 15" movie in your life after watching that trailer... So watch this trailer instead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1slbnMo4u4

That's not how movie distribution works. Very few films get nationwide distribution and most US "blockbuster" movies make 60-70% of their profits in Asia. The Asian market is the reason for so many remakes and reboots.

Oh, I get it. It's funny because guns are like penises and men are sex crazed beasts incapable of rational thought unless they are sexually exhausted, and women are incapable of a rational argument so have to hold men's libido hostage.....or something
