Is there anyone else, besides myself, who can simultaneously acknowledge that a movie isn't very good, but that you still like it?
For those who like the Descent… fantastic. Someone saying that a movie you like is mediocre and overrated isn't the same as saying that you are wrong to like it.
Regarding my own opinion,

Better than bloodsport?

I second Running Scared, it would be perfect for this. It's a terrible movie that is terribly fun to watch.

Saddleback - I did see The Cave, and it was actually the movie I was thinking of (couldn't remember the title, didn't bother looking it up) when I was talking about how it is pretty much equivalent in quality but appropriately regarded as the shit it is. In fact, I remember giving Cave a huge edge at the time since

This made my day
"or the sinner/scientist is forced to harvest his own stem cells at gunpoint."

Setting the record straight
The Descent was ridiculously overrated. I don't understand why a movie that would be written off as a mediocre thriller if it was shot by Hollywood suddenly becomes a sleeper hit when made by a bunch of Brit's, but… whatever.
Regarding Doomsday, I swear when I see the commercial that I'm

But is it…
better than bloodsport?!?

I gave up a long time ago. I can't even get close to killing that asshole with the spear and the ice spikes.

I love that little bastard.

just so I have this right…
It was possible to film each book of the Lord of the Rings series as a single movie.
But the final Harry Potter? Nah, that shit is so dense, comparatively, that you gotta split that into two.
At this point I'm not sure if eight movies is sufficient to contain JK Rowlings massive ego.

I wanna be teacher's pet
That is all.

I love these commercial hate segments.

TBS
I'm with everyone here that this article echoes my thoughts upon seeing this commercial from the 3rd to the 100th time.
However, what is even worse is that there's a commercial that runs on TBS that is a tie-in from The Office (starring Carrell) and this movie that the actually shot footage of Carrell talking on

good thing JCVD has no ego…
"I'm proud to say I started the Chinese flavor, when all these Chinese directors came to the States, because I really opened the gate for them. "
having seen a couple of his movies, I'm guessing he opened up the gate by kicking it really, really hard.
Either that or he kicked OVER the gate.

and it's better to pick it up off the ground/floor than to be beaten with a sack of it.

neat motif
Walt being forced to physically scrounge cash… is this only the third time?

Harding Test
I thought that involved testing the strength of someones knees using a billy club and douche bag with a mullet.

Singin' Seth
I still think the Back to the Future parody where they had Seth doing Brian doing Michael J. Fox doing Rick Astley was pretty damn awesome.
and then something like… "Remember that bland, mediocre soft-pop sound you were working on? Well… listen to THIS!"
heehee, awesome.

I swear to god
that dvd cover looks like something they'd put on a Reno911 box set. Just imagine Jim Dangle and his gay'stache behind that badge.

that's a good point. I just remember them being everywhere all of a sudden, then nowhere, and the music was just so terrible even by pop standards. Maybe not terrible enough and, as you say, too stuck in between genre cycles to have their suckiness matter
