    I look forward to the Razzie nominations every year, more so than the Oscar nominations. The Oscars have become boring and predictable. At least I can get a few laughs from the Razzie nominations when they're announced.

    Its Indiana Jones; of course there's going to be lame and cheesy moments. All give you this particular Indy film had a fair amount (Did you say 5 Fallen?), but that doesn't necessarily make it Razzie worthy. Either way, I don't mind, it's just fun to rag and discuss...

    Verne Troyer is funny has hell in Postal , I loved it good f*cking blue cheese with some f*cking funny ass scenes , f*ck yall Boll haters if theres a chance that he can give me another personal cult fav like this one and the first bloodrayne ill keep on sitting tru is flawfest of most of his films till i find another cult fav. I also love the razzies but they are kinda a buch of haters if they werent there list would be more diverse then that , there tons of good awfull films that get out each year , they should ad some that just get a dvd released and doesnt mean that an actor gave a bad perfomance in one film that she gave a bad perfomance in another , eard that paris was quite decent in Repo a genetic opera

    I liked Mark in Max Payne. It was in The Happening where his acting made me laugh in the beginning (the classroom scene). Jessica was okay in The Eye. So was Paris in Repo (surprisingly). I liked the last Indiana movie. What was wrong with The Day the Earth Stood Still? I only had a problem with the ending. I hate what Uwe Boll has done to BloodRayne. Eddie needs to go back to doing movies like Beverly Hills Cop. Leave the family movies alone already.

  5. The Narrator: The Better Man

    There were like five really lame parts in Indy 4, but other than that, it was good.
    And Vamp, where'd ya here about that. I think that might've been cooler. lol.

  6. Vamp

    I haven't seen "Max Payne," and nor do I care to, but "The Happening," in my opinion at least, was quite an excellent film. Shia swinging with monkeys, I must admit, was a tad lame, but you can't let that ruin the ENTIRE movie for you. It was a great adventure, and who gives a rat's ass if it was mainly about aliens? I remember someone telling me that he went up against Zombie Nazis in one of the comics.

    I agree with Gotham Knight. Mark should not be in that list of nominations.

    Looking back, I quite enjoyed the fourth Indiana Jones film. You can say what you like, but I didn't mind Shia swinging with the monkey's one bit...

    Uwe Boll at least makes an effort to direct. the douches that make the f*cking spoof movies should get worst director for very obvious reasons.

    3 years agoby @coast2coastFlag

  12. outlaw Returns

    If Boll goes to get his Worst Career Achievement award then he has balls,but the worst director(s) should go too Jason Friedberg And Aaron Seltzer.NOTE TO PARIS:DON'T ACT.

    Indy??? Nooooes! I liked it..

  14. killerman200

    Al Pacino should win this for worst actor. He has really gone down hill. What an terrible actor. He and Eddie Murphy need to give it up.
