Subject: RE: WOOFIEST!!NEW WORST MOVIE EVER!!!!
Peter T, that dead pilot film with Audrey was called "Always" with Richard Dreyfus and Holly Hunter. Syrupy and stomach-churningly, manipulatively sentimental, yes - but nowhere near the worst film of all time. As an Australian I can proudly state that my home-grown film industry has thrown up some real shockers over the years. The embarrassing thing is that we can be so bloody forgiving down here of an improbable and poorly structured plot that's been badly filmed and just as badly acted, as long as it's all done with an Aussie accent! Try sitting through more than 5 minutes of something called "Pandemonium". Even you, WyoWoman - with what appear to be your rather kinky, masochistic tendencies (not that there's anything wrong with that!) - would not endure. You'd chew through your straps to get away! There are many others, mainly spawned in the early '80s in a period when, in order to get the industry booming, films were set up as a tax dodge to encourage investors. Sure, we've made some good films, too, some very fine ones, but, hey, who remembers those up against...say..."BMX Bandits" starring, surprise surprise, a very young Nicole Kidman. Geez, she can sure pick 'em, cant she!
