2012! There were points when I just couldn't wait for the world to be destroyed.

csdot · 04-06-2010, 01:14 AM

Dont say that, I just bought it as a blind buy, but I only paid $6 for it.

But so far, my worst blind buy so far are Tropic Thunder, and Burn After Reading.

Zodiac....Bought it, watched it...next day sold it!

HDPlasma · 04-06-2010, 01:30 AM

The Orphanage for $24.99
Great PQ/AQ but it was BORRRRRRRRRING.

Burn After Reading for $3.99
Wow. What a waste of time.

Zodiac was a fantastic movie! David Fincher did a great job making that!

New Police Story was god awful. I was expecting a real life crime drama but all I got was cartoon campiness.

Easy! Be Kind Rewind. It was a great premise, but I thought it was all fudged up. And I even had to go to several stores to find it!

ChoosyLobster · 04-06-2010, 02:13 AM

Drag me to hell, and wicker man OMG i hate them.. lol! worst movies i ever bought..

RocShemp · 04-06-2010, 02:45 AM

In terms of a sight-unseen transfer (given I had seen the movie before and love it), Evil Dead 2. In terms of a movie I hadn't seen before ( though it had great AQ/PQ), Wall-E, the first Pixar movie I ever hated.

AutomaticDriver · 04-06-2010, 02:57 AM

I may get alot of heat for this but I think my worst blind buy has to be Office Space. I didnt laugh once(Boring, Yawn). I wasted 90 minutes of my life.

joenostalgia23 · 04-06-2010, 03:01 AM

Woah. You guys have interesting tastes in movies. I thought half of the films you've listed were masterpieces! Especially Zodiac and Wall-E/

I've never blind-bought a film, although I am considering Ninja Assassin because I'm a fan of the people who worked on it. Any opinions on that film?

brewp13 · 04-06-2010, 03:03 AM

I thought Ninja Assassin was great, especially the fight sequences.
