re: 2008 in Review: Scott Von Doviak's Top 10 Unwatchables of the Year

I don't know if it made the AV Club list (mainly because I have trouble figuring out how to search their website), but Scott also failed to include "Postal", even though Uwe Boll has turned out to be the gift that keeps on giving for professional dealers in snark. I'm not sure that I think this year was anything really special in really shitty movies, though. The fact is, I'll find out just how bad this past year got the same way I find out about every year--over the course of the next few years to come, as I catch up with a lot of this junk when I'm channel-surfing while too wasted to get up or turn off the TV. Until then, Scott's the authority because he's the one who stands there twelve months out of the year and takes this stuff right in the teeth.

It says something special that there's no An American Carol or Friedberg/Seltzer movie or The Spirit or Delgo or any of the 17 movies on the AV Club's Worst Movies list included here, and yet it doesn't feel even remotely deficient in the awfulness department. Talk all you want about the best movies of the year -- and there were some truly great ones -- but the amount of completely worthless, irredeemable wide-release garbage has probably never been topped in a single year's worth of film.
