Domino: Worst movie ever or just one of many reasons to burn Hollywood to the ground and bleach the ashes?
I haven't seen any movies listed here but I'll add Freddy Got Fingered to the list. Horrible. A few reasons - one scene where tom green is skateboarding with his friends on a ramp. One of his friends falls and breaks his leg, exposing the bone. Green takes the opportunity to lick the exposed bone like a dog. Another scene in which he's driving through the country where he passes by a deer that's been struck by a car. He stops and has a good time cutting the deer open, playing with its entrails and wearing the carcass as a costume. I think he gets hit by a car after that. There's another scene that I only vaguely remember that involves him masturbating an elephant and letting it ejaculate all over his father (played by Rip Torn). Anyway, it wasn't bad because it was gross, it was just incredibly stupid.
In Domino, I think that Tony Scott set a record for short attention span. What was it, a cut per second, if that long? Even if it didn't suck, I would be scared to show that movie to an epileptic.
Keira Knightley, grinning like an idiot, spouting lines like she's been given in this movie, is painful to watch, at least for the 8 minutes of this POS I watched (up to the point she supposedly throws a knife through the windshield of a car).
Not to mention that Mickey Rourke having reached the point after years of boxing and plastic surgery that he could play Frankenstein's Monster without make-up, the harsh lighting of this movie does him no favors.
