Mavbe NOW we can get some of the delayed flicks shooting

I watched I am legend the other day and I asked myself, how long have the writer's guild been on strike? The script appears to be written by hi-school kids.

[Dr Mordrid]

Which argues against the whole idea of such "guilds" to begin with. I'd dare say some scripts written by high school kids would be better than those created by guild members in the last 30+ years.

And what makes you think the directors and producers won't do as they always do?

I think Rush Hour 3 was written by a Junior High School kid at best. Maybe elementary. I walked out of the theatre 30 minutes in.

"WGA Strike Over"

[Dr Mordrid]

The guy who wrote Rush Hour 3 was Jeff Nathanson whose other "achievements" were "Speed 2: Cruise Control", "Catch Me If You Can" and "The Terminal", all utter and total flops.

His next "effort" will be "Scared Guys" due out this year, which from the synopsis looks to be yet another turkey.

You'd think after "Speed 2: Cruise Control" his rep would have been toasted, but not so in HollyWeird

If you haven't seen it yet, trust me, Rush Hour 3 is much worse than even Speed 2! I even enjoyed Rush Hour 1 and 2.

I have seen more movies than any normal human being my age, there are roughly 600+ movies in my home, most of which I have probably seen 2-4 times, and I can honestly say that Rush Hour 3, without a single shred of doubt, is in my bottom 5 movies I have ever seen. Period. And I have seen some TERRIBLE movies that I would rank higher than this. (eg. straight to DVD Steven Segal, or Bruce Campbell movies.)

edit: Rush Hour 3 might even make it onto my "most hated things of all time list", which includes female comedians and Nazis.

Not even my wife and I liked Rush Hour 3, and we both love Jackie Chan movies.

Here is to hoping The Forbidden Kingdom is really good.

OK. What are your bottom five movies of all time?
I am just about to watch Bloodmask, and from the youtube trailer, it's going to be one of mine!

[Mehen]

Hrm, well Rush Hour 3. There was a really bad Christopher Lambert movie... The Road Killers I think. Saving Silverman was pretty bad, I only made it about 30 minutes in. National Lampoon's Last Resort with Corey Haim and Feldman was awful, although I am not sure if it makes it into the bottom 5.

[Mehen]

Just PLEASE don't ask me to name my top 5. I couldn't even pick my top 5 Scorsese movies.
