Blockbuster just shipped this out to me. It's currently ranked #2 on IMDB's bottom 100 list. Adam Sandler's first movie. Hopefully nobody else has actually seen this one.

With your recent string of awful movies, I'm expecting to see a post about you killing yourself pretty soon, Bada. I mean, you actually had GOING OVERBOARD on your list from Blockbuster? Sounds like you are moving swiftly towards having nothing but straight-to-DVD releases being shipped to you.

Did you even sit through this?? I have such little toleration for crap.

I have been working my way down the IMDB top 250 list for a while now, I've seen the top 60 or so now. I thought I would also start on the bottom 100. While browsing around IMDB I have stumbled upon this movie several times, so I thought I would just go ahead and watch it.

I have an extremely high tolerance for crap like this. I can watch just about anything once.

However, I just can’t bring myself to watch regular TV anymore. I’ll watch sports and sportscenter, and anything on HBO or the History Channel, but I haven’t really watched regular TV in years.

Now that's tragic. Lost and 24 are like 23 hour movies over a whole season.

Now that's tragic. Lost and 24 are like 23 hour movies over a whole season.

I’ve been thinking about it. Especially 24 and X-Files. I gave up on TV because they kept canceling shows so quickly. And then the whole “reality tv” thing started, which I have zero interest in.

Now that I have a blockbuster subscription, I’ll probably start a marathon of one of these soon. First I plan on watching Rome. I watched the first few, but then my DVR decided to erase a few, so I quit watching it.

A friend is bringing me his The Office DVD’s this weekend, so I’m watching those first. I’ve seen a couple of them and they are hilarious. I want to catch up on the first 2 seasons before the 3rd season begins.

If you had to pick between 24, Lost, or X-Files, which would you pick? They all look very interesting to me.

Well, X-Files would probably be #1, with Lost #2 and 24 #3, but they are all extremely close together. And don't get me going about Deadwood and Carnivale...

 

[NEZCardsfan]

Deadwood and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia are some of the greatest TV ever.

This coming from a guy that still loves Simpsons, Seinfeld and the A-Team.

I just watched it. It definitely deserves its 1.9 rating over at IMDB. I hesitate to even call this a “movie”. A 90 minute train-wreck would be a more accurate term. I like Adam Sandler, so I’m glad he was able to launch his career doing Saturday Night Live a few years after this.

I also have a pretty high tolerance for crap in movies, but this one was God awful. One of the worse movies I have ever seen in my life. I paid $1.99 for it, and I still feel ripped off.

I forgot to mention that IMDB lists Fight Club under their recommendations for people that liked Going Overboard.

Talk about a formula in need of an adjustment.

Methinks you put way too much faith in imdb.
