"hampered by bad reviews (and by sucking)"

James Cameron is an asshole and probably a wife-beater, but he is responsible for The Terminator.

Marine 2: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire

Christ Almighty
WHAT.
AN.
ASSHOLE.

Halloween III
Halloween III: Season of the Witch is underrated as hell. Also it's a classic example of a film which features a mustachioed leading man.

It did have some of their best beats, but the one with the children's choir? Christ Almighty!

The second one was kind of shit!

Wait, I mean unworthy.

Actually now that I think about it I'd put the percentage of art worthy of attention at 85.

Aguilera
I'm greatly pleased to see the Christina Aguilera item — like it says, good or bad it will be a spectacle. This is the very spirit of criticism, to objectively watch an artistic work unfold and deem it unworthy of attention only if the operations observed were mundane (and this describes 99% of art)! MYOF and…

Right on. It's appalling to me that some people think Weird Al only does parodies.

Verhoeven would have set the whole movie from Ahnuld's point of view, so he questions his sanity the whole time. And the audience wouldn't know whether that annoying kid was actually from reality, or still came from within the fictional universe.

District 9 could have been a classic but it shot itself in the foot halfway through when it became a campy action film.

Oh yeah, and how about a spoiler alert, fucker?

Umm, that made me want to see the movie even more.

Fabulous article
This article was amazing. The A.V. club, and criticism in general, is always best when engaged in pure love or pure hate.

I win.

Triumph of the Wii

The 00's
This decade was indeed total shite. But it might have been the best decade for television EVER. Seriously.

Funny People
Jesus, Funny People was awful. Sandler gave a half-assed performance, the cameos were wasted, and the whole thing had that feel-good Apatow schmear that I find barely tolerable even when the movie is actually funny otherwise.
