“Disaster Movie” or “Why My Life is in Shambles”
September 10th, 2008 • 922 views • Anna Daugherty
The worst movie in the world grossed ten million dollars. Think about this for a moment. Imagine each of those dollars as a separate entity, nearly powerless on their own, or perhaps utilized to purchase a breakfast sandwich or cup of stale coffee. But in the hands of wayward movie-goers, these harmless dollars united to fund, what many Internet users believe to be, the most horrible monstrosity to ever befall human eyes.
The offender, a delightful gem of film by the name of Disaster Movie, skyrocketed, or more appropriately plummeted, to Internet Movie Database’s Bottom 100. That in itself is an achievement, considering this is a list populated by some of the most foul dreck the silver screen has ever encountered.
IMDb’s Bottom 100 features a number of critically acclaimed pieces. One such film, The Hottie and the Nottie, is a touching love story of inner beauty masterfully portrayed by the devine acting talents of Ms. Paris Hilton. Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, a captivating work of science fiction from the imagination of director Bob Clark III (he of A Christmas Story fame), also graces this prestigious list.
It takes a certain amount of dedication and aptitude to claim the title of “Worst Movie Ever Made,” and for a film to have attained this status in such a short amount of time, I am forced me to reconsider my existance. Nothing I will ever produce in my lifetime will earn ten million dollars. The mere thought wrenches my soul out through my chest, leaving behind nothing but bitterness and student loans. Maybe I am pursuing the wrong goal. Maybe I should start affixing random celebrity characatures and plotlines from various summer blockbusters – with no care as to how they are arranged, nor giving any thought to the deeper social implications such a haphazard display might impart – to a dartboard and start watching the money flow.

Hell no! I’m just responding to the news that a.) it’s the #1 worst movie on IMDb and b.) it made $10 million damn dollars.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve been headshy ever since Epic Movie, and Meet The Spartans was also nowhere near as funny as I had hoped. The Comebacks was a riot though!
