Oh, we almost watched Layer Cake last weekend, but then we couldn't resist Alone in the Dark. You so rarely see something get 1% "fresh" at Rotton Tomatoes.
Wow, that is bad.
It's a real burden being right so often.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I've never heard of ANYTHING getting a 1% fresh rating. Even Uwe Boll's previous House of the Dead and Out Cold (the movie I walked out of before the opening credits were finished) scored in the 3-4% range. (By Contrast, Catwoman got a comparatively good 9%.)
We may have a new Ed Wood for the 21st century.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
the movie I walked out of before the opening credits were finished
How does that happen?

The movie's sole good point is that it's very upfront about how utterly craptastic it's going to be. The teaser sequence made it quite clear that I wouldn't be able to stand a full 90 minutes of it.

So, that's one that Caroline Dhavernas will be leaving off her resume if she's smart then?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Here's the list of 0% fresh from this decade-- 64 movies. [link] Including such gems as Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever; Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2; National Lampoon's Gold Diggers-- which "breaks new comedic ground for National Lampoon"-- the sequel to K9 (I did not know there was one); and more than one sequel to Beethoven (the one about the dog).
The 90s are even better: [link] The Mod Squad; the original Baby Geniuses (I guess sequels CAN be as good as the original); Mr. Magoo; Kazaam; Highlander 2 and 3; Dunston Checks In; The Scout; Jury Duty....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I didn't love Highlander 3, but there's NO WAY it deserves the same ranking as Highlander 2. No movie deserves that.
I'm also surprised that Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever got such low marks. It seemed typically bad, not exceptionally.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It seemed typically bad, not exceptionally.
I actually think that would "help" it in the Rotten Tomatoes bad-movie stakes. Something exceptionally bad might find one goofball to think it's so bad it's awesome.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I'm with you. Highlander 2 was sucktastic. Highlander 3 was pretty much a retread of Highlander 1 with better special effects and worse writing.

But Lucy Liu was awesome!
People are just mean.
