The 2nd MoFo Hall of Infamy : Son of Infamy
Reply to Topic
Here's hoping ueno returns someday 
As to the winner about to be unveiled in 6 hours or so - it was one of two that dominated the voting, and got the win by the barest of margins.

Okay! I don't know if anyone is here yet, or if this reveal time schedule is convenient for anyone but I'm watching Avengers : Endgame and really want to know what happens so I'll drop a reveal every 10-20min or so and see.
I'm pretty happy that we ended up with a strong consensus on two films, and a clear winner (even if it was by the smallest of margins) - it's a shame ueno and her two picks didn't get to the end, but I think the two films in question were going to be the two at the forefront either way. So, for the 2nd MoFo Hall of Infamy - here we go....

CARNIVAL OF SOULS (1998)
18 points (8th, 8th, 10th, 11th, 11th, 12th)
TheUsualSuspect : "Wes Craven, may he rest in peace, should be embarrassed that his name was attached to this."
Allaby : "I don't plan on ever watching this one again."
KeyserCorleone : "The movie can't get its hallucinations and surreal behavior straight.
Takoma11 : "Part of what stinks about this movie is that it steals the premise from the 60s film and reimagines it in just the dumbest way possible."

Although we all pretty much agreed on Carnival of Souls as being the best film amongst the nominations here, it's general awfulness goes to show just how dedicated everyone was in nominating the worst film they could possibly think of. Well done everyone.

KeyserCorleone : "This is the single dumbest movie I've ever seen."
Takoma11 : "It's hard to rate a movie like this, where what works on purpose and what is just a fascinating trainwreck starts to blur together."
PHOENIX74 : "It's simply an amazing collection of talent behind and in front of the screen being directed by some jerk who goes on to let it all go to waste."
Siddon : "This...this was painful."

TheUsualSuspect : "Even with the bogus ending, the film feels cold to the touch."
Allaby : "The plot of the movie is inherently offensive and problematic as it tries to rewrite history and put a happy ending on a tragedy."

I feel somewhat wiser for knowing that Candy and The Legend of the Titanic exist. Brando lamented the former as being the worst film he ever appeared in, and the latter is simply insanity in animation form.

PHOENIX74 : "Honestly, I felt a bit sorry for Schaub. He doesn't seem to really have it, and I wonder where this man is going to."
Siddon : "I wonder if Showtime was that desperate for content that they needed to release this but this was pre-COVID though you'll feel like you have a disease watching it."
TheUsualSuspect : "It's just unfunny. Bad delivery, bad set-ups, bad jokes...I mean...did no one tell him this wasn't funny?"
Allaby : "How did this guy get a comedy special?"

I have a sneaking suspicion that Brendan Schaub is not going to make it as a comedian.
The Kinky Coaches and the Pom Pom Pussycats was like absolutely nothing expanded out into 90 minutes - I didn't even know that was possible.

Airplane Mode feels like a whole new kind of bad movie made by people who have become famous doing stupid things on YouTube - and there were backers who lost big money on that.

It was inevitable for Eric Roberts to turn up somewhere in the Hall of Infamy, in A Talking Cat!?! he's the voice of 'Duffy', a really drunk cat.

At the heart of every really bad movie is a spirit of laziness, corruptness and contempt, and nothing better illustrates that as much as Titanic : The Legend Goes On... does.
Bane is really hard to describe - it can only be experienced.

I think amongst all of us that looked at these films, Wild 90 and Loqueesha stood apart as being in a whole other category of unpleasant, awful, depressing, bad and downright horrifying. The worst of the worst - both of them. Loqueesha took the crown, and it was really deserved. @Citizen Rules - put that movie in the Hall of Infamy, where it belongs. I couldn't be happier that this horrible film is up there with Going Overboard.
