The Razzies 6th March

[MickeyPaul]

I really can't claim to know anything about this but in my internet travels, I don't recall ever seeing a more slated film than that Transformers thing. Here are the bet365 odds anyway:

The Razzies - Worst Picture
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen 2.00
Land of the Lost 2.50
G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra 8.00
Old Dogs 13.00
All About Steve 17.00

The Razzies - Worst Actor
Will Ferrell 1.53
All Three Jonas Brothers 3.50
Steve Martin 10.00
John Travolta 15.00
Eddie Murphy 15.00

The Razzies - Worst Actress
Sandra Bullock 2.37
Megan Fox 2.75
Beyonce Knowles 5.00
Miley Cyrus 8.00
Sarah Jessica Parker 15.00

[MickeyPaul]

Transformers is @ 2.10 with paddy power - ooooh I'm tempted. I'm gonna go compare ratings for the films on metacritic. Let's see...

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - 35 (user score 5.9)
Land of the Lost - 32 (user score 4.9)
G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra - 32 (user score 5.5)
Old Dogs - 19 (user score 4.00)
All About Steve - 17 (user score 3.3)

Some value in 'All About Steve' perhaps? I've never heard of it.

[MickeyPaul]

Rotten Tomatoes ratings are as follows:

All About Steve - 6%
Old Dogs - 6%
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - 20%
Land of the Lost - 25%
G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra - 36%

Interesting eh? Now I need to look at the past winners and goooo compare.... gooo compare... la la la....

[MickeyPaul]

OK! I'll start at 2003 or so (winners highlighted and metacritic scores added) as this could end up taking fucking ages and chances are no pattern at all will emerge and I'll have wasted an hour of my life:

Gigli (Columbia/Revolution Studios) - 18 (user score 2.2)
The Cat in the Hat (Universal/DreamWorks) - 19 (user score 1.8)
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (Columbia) - 48 (user score 5.9)
From Justin to Kelly (20th Century Fox) - 14 (user score 4.0)
The Real Cancun (New Line Cinema) - 33 (user score 4.5)

Catwoman (Warner Bros.) - 27 (user score 3.8)
Alexander (Warner Bros.) - 39 (user score 4.4)
SuperBabies: Baby Geniuses 2 (Triumph Films) - 9 (user score 2.3)
Surviving Christmas (DreamWorks) - 19 (user score 3.4)
White Chicks (Columbia/Revolution) - 41 (user score 5.1)

Dirty Love (First Look Pictures) - 9 (user score 3.0)
Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (Columbia) - 23 (user score 2.1)

The Love Guru (Paramount) 24 (user score 4.2)
Disaster Movie (Lionsgate) -15 (1.4) and Meet the Spartans (20th Century Fox) 9 (2.7) (jointly)
The Happening (20th Century Fox) 34 (user score 5.5)
The Hottie and the Nottie (Regent Releasing) - 7 (user score 2.1)
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (Boll KG/Brightlight Pictures) - 15 (user score 8.1)

And I think we can safely say, the above clearly shows.... errrr.. fuck all? Or does it? I reckon I'll back All About Steve and Old Dogs anyway.

[keemanan]

I liked Land of the Lost!

[MickeyPaul]

So did I but didn't want to say. I pure fancied Anna Friel in that too.



Oh, errr... not because of the pigtails and that. I.... mean... she has lovely firm eyes. I mean tits! Noooo.

[MickeyPaul]

Incidentally, Sandra Bullock is quote as saying she intends to be there to accept her award if she wins. I'm not sure if that makes a difference but it's food for thought:

"Oh my God, how fantastic is that?" she told Entertainment Weekly upon hearing of her nomination. "I'm showing up if I win."

"I'm more comfortable with criticism than I am with goodwill, because I'm more familiar with it, and I've made friends with it. And the Razzies are a great honour."

[MickeyPaul]

Oh, I did notice none of the winners I highlighted managed to get scores of 30 or over at metacritic. I'm on to something amazing here huh? A fantastical discovery? That would leave only All About Steve and Old Dogs - you see? This simply cannot fail. It cannae.

I can't stop thinking about that magazine. You know the one.

[keemanan]

Them's the two outsiders too Mick.
I also liked the Love guru, when they had a meeting in that midget's office and it was really tiny, I just lol'd again at that

[MickeyPaul]

I know it's the two outsiders ffs. I'm the new TDP Razzies expert. Kin ell man.

[MickeyPaul]

Have bet365 removed this? I can't see it anywhere. Bastards. And good grief. Sandra Bullock @ 1.33 now @ paddy power. Noooooooooo.

Hope you didn't bet on Will Ferrell to win Worst Actor.
