    Man on the Moon, Idle Hands, Donnie Darko, anything with the words Monty Python in the title. Although I mentioned some fairly recent films I think most films that come out now are moneyspinnin' pieces of ****.

    For making me laugh aloud for weeks (although not intentionally) and for having the greatest demon rape scene EVER! <and the leg stump sex scene> I'm gonna mention Cradle Of Fear. Don't buy it though. It's crap and the funniest bits will probably have been removed in the censored version... but still... :p

    A true exercise in retro gratuity.

    precisely, my dear, precisely :D

    and its even funnier when:
    a) you get all the Stuy jokes (they're supposed to go to Stuyvesant high school- a school in downtown nyc- its absolutely huge- but i digress)
    b) when you have to explain to your friends that J0lt was not just a prop for the commercial on the tv in the film and that something called J0lt that one drinks actually exists.

    And the technical innacuracies! And the fact the superfast modem in Angelina Jolie's laptop atcually is measured in bits per second.. And Cyberdelia! And the fact that after the film, the school was filled with kids with roller blades and jolt
