A lot of these are awfully dependant on your personal opinion. How about some that are undeniable atrocities?

Now, I don't feel this way, but I promise you, there will be blood re:

Damn! '"it's a post-modern, tongue-in-cheek glimpse of modern so-called literature and its corresponding culture" crap' is my film argument ace-in-the-hole! I feel so pigeon-holed!

2006-12-01T06:22:00.000-08:00

Morrissey: "Vauxhall & I" --> "The World Of Morrissey"

OK, so a studio album to a compilation, but it's still a horrid move.

Paul Schrader, the script-writer: "Raging Bull" ---> "Cat People"

Halle Berry: from making "X2" (do note I don't even like that movie", to making "Gothica" (which is so bad it almost defies belief) and then "Catwoman", which she actually picked up a Razzie for, calling it a "piece of shit film"

Al Pacino: "Donnie Brasco" ---> "The Devil's Advocate"

Nathalie Portman: "Mars Attacks!" ---> "Star Wars: Episode I"

Gravity's Rainbow --> Vineland

I love me some Thomas Pynchon (read Rainbow three times), but after 17 years, I think we were all hoping for something more spectacular.

2006-11-30T23:58:00.000-08:00

I also agree with Nayiri about Eugenides. Actually, I haven't read "The Virgin Suicides" so for all I know it's even worse than "Middlesex." Sorry if I don't think bearded Greek ladies are hilarious.

2006-11-30T23:54:00.000-08:00

Fuck you! "Apt Pupil" is about fifty times as amazing as "The Faggy Suspects!"

I haven't read all these so I don't give a shit if I repeat someone else's idea:

Memento---->Insomnia

2006-11-30T21:03:00.000-08:00

Oh my god, Prep is no masterpiece, nor is it anything remotely close. It's trite and entirely cringeworthy. I'm not knocking it because it's marketed to adolescent girls; I'm knocking it because it sucks.
Re: Adaptation, it's self-indulgent. And don't even think about pulling any "it's a post-modern, tongue-in-cheek glimpse of modern so-called literature and its corresponding culture" crap. I'm not buying it.
But oh, how I miss Mangum & Co.

And, yes, Prep is a masterpeice. Don't knock it just because it's marketed to teen girls.

Neutral Milk Hotel doesn't work, because they didn't fall off the radar. Mangum had enough and just stopped. If they put out an album today, it would sell like hotcakes. Or hot somethings.

2006-11-30T16:08:00.000-08:00

Don't you dare call Adaptation a disaster follow-up. That movie is brilliant. Oscar nods for actor and screenplay, right?

Hands off Barry Lyndon as well. That movie is beautiful.

Wasn't History of Violence nominated for an Oscar? At least William Hurt was. Tough to call that a disaster.

How about Clerks and then Mallrats?
