The evil immortals tended to be annoying. But Connor and Ramirez (and if you go into the TV-verse) and Duncan, Amanda, Methos and Darius were all cool. (Well, Amanda became annoying once she got her own show.)
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

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.

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.

Oh, but see, it looks like a lot of those 0% fresh movies only got 5-10 reviews, total. That's cheating. Ballistic has 98 reviews, though, so that's excellent. I think Alone in the Dark had 140+. And the one positive review graded it a C.
Hee, The Crow: Wicked Prayer got 0%. But only 5 reviews, with the straight-to-DVDness.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I think the total number of reviews that make up the % in Rotten Tomatoes goes down over time as periodicals and web sites remove or move the reviews to archives - I don't think RT re-links a review if it's archived, but I'm not sure. Some of the movies in the 90s list definitely had at least one or two positive reviews when they came out.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
They definitely cull their reviews over time. (DH writes for several different publications, and his Tomatometer qualifications at each one change on what seems to be a random weekly basis.)

Something exceptionally bad might find one goofball to think it's so bad it's awesome.
Thankfully, this didn't turn out to be the case with Kazaam.
Hee, The Crow: Wicked Prayer got 0%. But only 5 reviews, with the straight-to-DVDness.
All I need to know to rent this is that David Boreanaz appears in it dressed like a reject from The Rocky Horror Picture show.

At least he got to wear his own clothes.

Oh, god, he's dressed like a cottage roll for a while. But then later he's dressed like Job Bob, which was jarring but much less traumatic for me. Until he takes his pants off.

Perhaps I'll buy the movie rather than renting....

Heh. He is still wearing underwear. And a shirt. And he's dry-humping Tara Reid at the time. The imagery (i.e., Tara Reid) is plenty upsetting but there's not really that much skin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bless. I needed to cleanse myself of the Tara imagery, and Laura Kern's review of Transporter 2 may be just the trick:
Purely shallow but never dull
I didn't need it to be better than the first, so the mere chance is gravy.
