Hey guys, Rob here….
The title basically says it all. These are movies that.. in some way… enticed us into watching them, either by clever trailers, word of mouth, or sheer morbid curiosity… only to leave us far stupider than when we went in.
This list is FAR from all inclusive, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on YOUR entries to this list…
Let’s get to it!
Sausage Party
I mean, they let us know who and what this movie was right in the trailer right? Anthropomorphic food trying to find the meaning of their existence, all the while filling the screen with a level of perverseness that would make the cast of Porky’s blush. And yet… even knowing what we were getting ourselves into.. this movie left us feeling mentally regressed.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)
Let’s take a beloved horror movie franchise, reboot it, and suck every last ounce of what made it great out of it! A lot of people thought Jackie Earle Haley would make a great Freddy Krueger (myself included) but this horrible vision made me feel as if I lost 1/3 of my brain cells.
Any Adam Sandler Movie
Ok, I take that back. Waterboy was fun as hell, and The Longest Yard, while a husk of the original, had enough cameos to make it fun to watch. Happy Gilmore and The Wedding Singer can be exempt as well…but those were in “The Before Times” Anything even REMOTELY recent? Nah fam. I mean.. good on him for being able to play exactly ONE type of character and building an entire career on it, but Ernest did it first.
Malignant
Ok, I came to this bandwagon late, and had ignored any and all hype about it. That being said… JESUS this movie is not at all good. From the forced attempt to make an ‘iconic’ weapon, to the hilariously horrible CGI of Maddy’s face in the fight in the police station, this entire movie is a spot-fest of “What the fuck am I watching… and why am I still watching it?”
What movies made YOU dumber? Let us know!
