A Little Bit Listy Today: Movie/Game List Comparisons

It seems like a lot of people in the blogging village are having some fun with the list that Rotten Tomatoes put together of the worst movies to be released in the 2000's, and I thought I would join in, though with my own special twist on the matter.

You see, marking movies off on one list might be fun, but making selections a more than one at once seemed like the way to go for me. So I went through 4, encompassing both movies and Playstation 2 gaming.

In a way, I am sort of embarrassed by the second movie list because there were so many I had to admit that I hadn't seen (I could have lied, but then where is the fun in that). At least I am giving people something to rag on me about.

But anyway on with the lists.

Now, I'm going to have to try the worst list one.

Arjan said...

there are some seriously good movies on that list you should REALLY see!

Dan said...

You haven't seen Dark Knight? That must be a conscious decision surely?

You should man, it's good.

MC said...

Semaj: You certainly saw a lot more of them than I have.

Arjan: If the list included the whole 250, I look a lot better. ;)

Dan: I missed it on DVD and it was on cable when I didn't have the good packages.

elgringo said...

I'm curious. The Dark Knight? Was it purely a rebellious decision?

Also, how and why did you end up seeing Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector. I've seen TONS of bad movies in my day...but I've never seen that.

MC said...

The Dark Knight was on a different set of cable channels than I have... I didn't set out not to see it... it just isn't on the channels I get yet.

And cable answers the second part of your question as well.
