I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

I thought this was gonna be a list of successful movies that made a lot of money despite being bad, not just a list of movies that bombed. It's not a blockbuster unless it makes a lot of money.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The logic here is lacking. Blockbuster that don't make lots of money aren't.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I'm guessing Veep wanted to say big budget bombs.

I always hated the Blockbuster at Cleveland Circle in Brighton.  They were always rude and everything I always wanted to rent was already checked out.  :mad:

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Yeah, this is flops....

I didn't know Stealth was a big budget piece, odd.
Pluto Nash was weird, well advertised before it came out but it sort of never came out finally.
Waterworld didn't deserve to flop, it was pretty cool. Though stupid.
I thought Speed 2 did OK...Oh well.
Never heard of Osmosis Jones.
Catwoman...yeah. :bleeding: Even the costume sucked.
Battlefield Earth- I can't remember it ever being in the cinema, I only saw one advertising post for it then the next thing I know its years later and on TV. I like this film though, its so bad its good.

Brighton sucks. 


So do most of these non-blockbusters.
PDH!

It did have Salma Hayek, in a very nice outfit.  Kevin Kline was in it too, wasn't he?

I've seen half the films on the list.

AMC really jumped the shark when they started showing Catwoman. TCM FTW.

Thirded for the Wild Wild West was a decent flick.

Watchable.  Big mistake casting Will Smith in the lead.
