I notice that there has been a very interesting thread started about movies which people really care about and would like to see discussed and reviewed more.  Well, I'm starting another subject -- what are the WORST movies (in your opinion) which you ever saw. 

First a bit of background -- I wasted I don't know how long in the wee small hours of last night (or early this morning) on a film which was so tedious and confusing that I finally did something I have never done before with a movie -- didn't bother to watch the end of it.  I have no intention of watching the end of it either even though it is there in my "Saved" category in "On Demand" (thank God, I didn't pay for it -- it was a freebie!)

This is a movie which I never heard of before, apparently for good reason.  "Twelve Monkeys" was IMO a waste of three of my favorite actors -- Bruce Willis, Madeline Stowe, and Brad Pitt -- and one plot based on a premise which should have shown promise.  This was a 1995 film (apparently) and the general idea was that in 1996, a worldwide pandemic would wipe out five gazillion people.  Bruce Willis was (apparently) a prisoner from the far future who had a chance to win a pardon by traveling back through time in order to do something or other to avert this catastrophe.  Madeline Stowe was wasted in the part of a psychiatrist who was kidnapped by Willis for some reason or other and who thought he was crazy at first.  Brad Pitt was wasted in the part of someone who was WHATEVER.  I couldn't figure that out at all and by the time I gave up on that, I was done with the film for good. 

I should add that for a time-travel junkie like me, giving up on this film was a real thumbs-down of the first order.  Another annoying point about this film was that whatever printing appeared on the screen which was meant for the moviegoer to read was in bright neon "fuzzy" colors which meant that it might have been legible on the big screen but not on my living room one, even though I have an excellent HD picture.  The film might have been better if I could have read some of that information.

I'm taking a wild guess here but I'm betting that most of you have never heard of "Twelve Monkeys" with good reason.  To those of you who haven't watched it yet, my advice is to keep up the good work!  If ever there was a good reason for a pandemic to strike, it would be to wipe out whoever thought this clunker up or produced it.  Like many people, I love movies and I rather resent that this wasn't respected more by whoever produced this film, especially since people must have trustfully paid money to see it in theatres originally!).  Being tempted to waste time on a movie I couldn't even finish watching was to me a real betrayal.
