i'm confused....

this whole thread starts with people arguing with each other, even including quotes from previous posts but there's nothing before any of it. were things deleted before i got to the site or something? very weird. lol

as for the razzies, there have been MANY movies out the past year a million times worse than everything they nominated and they get no mention. they obviously just target the bigger obvious names to get attention, regardless of how much or little they deserve it.

Why couldn't they have announced these a month ago, then they might have got a better director to do the next series of movies.


Seeing as all the movies have been nominated for Razzies, I think we can safely say the producers really just don't care about an award show telling them they suck.

Rushie wrote:I can see how most of these are deserving, but Patrick Dempsey as worst actor is just trolling. Gould was one of the best written and performed human characters in the trilogy and one of the reasons DotM was a better story than RotF. The nomination for Ken is IMO totally justified, since his scenes damn near ruined the film. Dempsey did nothing as bad as Jeon did though. It's like they just wanted to nominate the film for as many categories as possible. On a side note, is it possible for the Academy Awards to nominate two supporting roles for the same film?


Actually, I have to agree with you there. Ken Jeong was fun at first, in his early roles, but over time he sort of devolved into what we saw in DOTM. Dempsey was great, though.

I guess you can't see all the posts before it was made into a news post. Which is weird. Are you viewing it from the forums? Because I can see the thread in its entirety.

Ha ha ha! Here we go with this bullsh!t again. Yeah, that's why DOTM is number 4 in the highest grossing movies of all time, that's why it's # 2 on the list for 2011 movies, that's why it made over a billion dollars, that's why Bay is here to stay, and that's why there's going to be a TF 4. You don't get that far with the "worst movie", you just don't. :michaelbay:

The problem with that is that money doesn't equal quality. Avatar is in the same boat; sure it was ground-breakingly pretty, but it came with a blatant environmentalist theme and the plot was another rehash of Dances With Wolves. And it is the highest grossing movie of all time.

That, and at least three of the Twilight movies are top 50 highest grossing movies of all time, and the Phantom Menace is currently ranked at number 11. So...yeah, money =/= quality.

The point I'm trying to make: If these people who nominated DOTM for all this crap where trying the hurt the movie, they're too late. And Bay should be proud of himself for making it this far.

On the topic of avatar, there's only one good thing named Avatar and it's not either of the movies, so frick em.

As for DoTM...does anyone think Bay cares? I liked this movie personally as well as the first (though I feel like the human parts were more stomachable, especially Gould) What bugs me is that the Decepticons had to be convinced to execute Autobots for some damn reason, but whatever. Point is, Bay doesn't care and he shouldn't care, and if he even bothered with an acceptance speech it should just be three words: "Deal with it."

So, it didn't win any Oscars, so that just means that the Oscar doesn't mean anything anymore.
But, it could win some of these awards, but people don't like those awards, so then Razzies don;t mean anything.
AND, the opinions and criticisms of people who don't like the movies don't matter, because they didn't like the movies, but the opinions of people who don't acknowledge the Razzie as a legit award because they don't like the Razzies or the choice of films that win Razzies, those people are perfectly correct for dismissing a legit award?

They forgot the category for Ultimate betrayal of a character by making him complicit in the deaths of thousands of human beings just to make the point that the Decepticons are BAD!

And the winner is - Optimus Prime!

I was willing to forgive the abomination that was Dark of the Moon up to the point that Prime was depicted as a being willing to sacrifice sentient beings to make a point.

So much for the quote, “Freedom is the right of all sentient beings.”
