Horndogs at the cineplex

Today's talking point is: What's the worst movie you've ever watched because you thought someone in it was hotter than hot?

Threesome.

After all these years, the truth comes out!

Streisand remake of A Star is Born. And no, not for Streisand.

Gary Busey???

Sally Kirkland.

Does the last season of Alias count? My main reason for watching it was to see pretty, pretty David Anders.

We're no culture snobs here! By all means, include television, too, if you want. (I might have to leave it out of consideration my own self, however, since otherwise the race to the bottom becomes too close to call.)

True. But David Anders is really, really pretty. Really pretty.

Buck Rogers does have lot to answer for, for both of us.

OMG! The question grew out of a round-table discussion at Big Chicks the other night. We started discussing our early TV/movie crushes and basically every one of us had had a great big hard-on for Gil Gerard back in the day. You should ask your coaevals what they thought of Erin Gray; this short-lived series could be the key to the sexual longings of an entire generation!

You misunderstand, Erin Gray did (and still does) nothing for me.* No, it was always Pamela Hensley (Princess Ardala). I guess I always liked the brunette bad girls.

*Although a co-worker of mine does have an autographed picture of Ms. Gray, so you may be onto something, there.

I guess I always liked the brunette bad girls.

Though I imagine her taste in outfits helped.

She had an incredible knack for getting Buck stripped to the waist, IIRC. It's too bad I had no gay sensibility to speak of at the time or I would've found her style alluringly educational.

Your coworker should watch Six Pack. yeeah. Actually, Da, you should too, if you haven't already. A certain mid-period Kenny Rogers....etc, etc.

Ooh, and Barry "Maurice" Corbin as the sheriff! Count me in!

Literally laughing out loud. Now just silently gigling. Oh, how I wish the whole entire Internet was exactly like this comment thread!

Six Pack is shown on Fox Movie Channel from time-to-time, that's where it caught me in its race car driving-gloved, hammy, (most probably sweaty,)fists.

That same generic-seeming cable channel is where I discovered Zardoz late one night, and The Osterman Weekend early one different night.

All UNedited for television and letterboxed, naturally.

GILLLLLLL

How Stella Got Her Groove Back

Don't disrespect Stella, please.

you think it's a good movie?

i think that if it's the worst movie you've seen due to hotties, that you must have exceptional taste in films.

i don't find a lot of actors hot. so this was the worst i watched for that reason.
i watch loads of crap movies, but not because someone's hotness.

Lol...Taye Diggs? 'Nuff said.

Tale of the Mummy (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0127919/). Got it for Gerard Butler, stayed for Sean Pertwee.

Probably The Fifth Element.

I'm so glad you grew out of your Bruce Willis thing!

Elektra. Aeon Flux. Ultraviolet. Underworld: Evolution. Into the Blue.

The list, she goes on and on.

Have to disagree about the last, prince. Movies like Elektra and Aeon are such dismal failures that the only thing remaining unimpeded is the starlet's pretty features. Contrast this with Into the Blue, an adequate script competently directed, but well beyond the actors' skills to bring any more life to it. One can imagine the Pareto optimal 2005 film world where the Scarlett Johansson/Ewan McGregor and Jessica Alba/Paul Walker swapped roles in The Island and Into the Blue, leaving the former no worse and vastly improving the latter.

You make a compelling case. For Scarlett Johanssen in a knit bikini, if for nothing else.

I couldn't think of anything, but then someone said Underworld. Oh, Christ! And Jeffrey, of course.

I'm spoiled for choice from my Russell Crowe period, but I'm going to say Virtuosity is the worst movie he ever made.

The one that stands out in my mind is Haunts of the Very Rich - it's a cheesy movie about a bunch of people who go to a tropical resort, and then things start going wrong, and nobody can leave. I turns out that all of them had somehow narrowly escaped death just before going there (or had they, really?). I only ever saw it on late night TV a few times.

The point of attraction was Ed Asner shirtless (and it's curious that the IMDB page actually forewarns people about his hairy back. To each his own ;))

ED ASNER SHIRTLESS?? Curse you for putting this onto my Netflix queue!

I believe I have this on VHS somewhere (assuming I can find it in all the packing boxes since the last move, and hoping it didn't get damaged by the heat by being left outside).

Oh, and I think it's in black and white.

God I hate to admit this, but Universal Soldier 2: The Return for Bill Goldberg, who kept repeatedly ripping his clothes off (alas, not all of them). I remember me and

didiseven rented it and later had such dirty "bathe-in-gasoline"-esque shame after that ^_-

lol. i had no clue. oi, goldberg.

Oh, this is so easy.

Under the Rainbow (1981 version).

Please to rinse my brain with gasoline if I ever think about watching it again.

I can't believe I'm the only one: Zardoz with Sean Connery.

That was going to be mine, but then I remembered the boundlessly abysmal made-for-tv adaptation of Earthsea that I was conned into watching primarily because it featured Alan Scarfe. I'd watch Zardoz ten times more before I watch that shite again once.

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead. Excruciating. I'll never look at a camper van the same way.
Although, I concur--Zardoz made me want to hunt down and punish the gang of nincompoops responsible for that pile of dreck.

Just to add to my shame (see above), -e and I were talking, and we both came up with the same movie: Original Sin, starring Antonio Banderas and Angelina Jolie. Worse than Tomb Raider II? You betcha!

2046, because of Faye Wong. And, I'm afraid, Aeon Flux.
