(6) The Cat in the Hat



The Cat: [showing his car] Here she is, the Super Luxurious Omnidirectional Whatchamajigger, or S-L-O-W for short.
Sally: S-L-O-W?
The Cat: Yeah, S.L.O.W. It's better than the last thing we had: Super Hydraulic Instantaneous Transporter.
Conrad: Oh, you mean...
The Cat: NO! Quick! To the S.L.O.W.!

(27) Mr. Wrong



Inga Gunther: Bob cut the couch!
Martha: Don't cut the couch HEY...
Inga Gunther: HEY IS FOR HORSES!

I've never even heard of Mr. Wrong.
Cat in the Hat was one of the most horrifying films I've ever seen.

[DevSop]

I voted against Scary Movie 2 because of the chick factor. I'm voting for Mr. Wrong for the same reason. Ellen DeGeneres=worst movie ever.

[Lucky]

I've never seen either of these movies and there don't appear to be any women in them. So I'm lost as what to do.

[creepy]

I visited a friend last year who has a daughter. His daughter is a horrible, horrible indivisual for many reasons. She had this movie on repeat the whole time we were there. For 3 days. 3 fucking days.

I wrote this yesterday in the "what you'll see next" thread, but it deserves to be brought over here. Of note:

• My kid wanted to walk out of this movie. And he was willing to forego uneaten popcorn to do so.
  
• Click on that linky and watch any portion of that 10 minute Youtube clip. And then come back here and write about what you liked about it and why. Try to convince people that they shouldn't vote for Cat in the Hat based on the redeeming qualities of what you saw. It can't be done. It simply can't.

I'm sure Mr. Wrong was bad, even though I never saw it. I mean the premise of Ellen Degeneres as a leading lady romantically involved with a man is just......wrong.

HOWEVER....

The Cat in the Hat is one of the single worst movies ever made.

• They tried to appeal to both kids and adults - kind of in a Shrek "the kids will like it but there's funny adult stuff in there too." They missed on BOTH accounts (this is the only movie we've taken my kid to see in the theater where he wanted to leave before the movie was over. He wanted to take the uneaten portion of his popcorn and leave. And when I said "but you can't take your popcorn with you", he said "that's ok - we can leave it here." )
  
• While I liked both Wayne's Worlds, there were parts of each where Mike Myers just had this smugness and "you should really be laughing at this" delivery even though it's not funny. This ENTIRE movie was that. Mike saying something unfunny. Then looking at the camera with that "aw come on you want to laugh you should laugh" look.
  
• HERE is a 10 minute clip of the movie. Watch any 1-minute section. I dare you. I don't care where you start or stop. If you aren't annoyed as all fuck then you probably shouldn't be voting in any contests in this showdown because there is something wrong with you.

You earned a vote today, Tex.

[Chris Eco]

And my vote didn't matter. CAT WINS!

[salmonjunkie]

Despite Mr. Wrong being my #1, I can't say it really matters to me how far it advances. But god damn, I hated that movie. It's not even "so bad it's good", it's fucking unwatchable.

I've never seen Cat In The Hat, but I've been told to stay away.

[williamssl]

STAY. THE. FUCK. AWAY. Seriously. Stay away.
