But it's so "Edgy" because it explores drugs? Fuck that. Spun is also terrible, though at least it's funny. I did like Trainspotting though, and I sort of liked Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas though it was pretty pointless....... Lost in Translation is absolute pointless bullshit, though it LOOKS good... same for Virgin Suicides... it has style, just not substance. Sofia Coppola is just a shitty director, period (and actress).
Also, regarding: "why are people listing so many bad Hollywood movies and not 'epic trash'?" The sad fact is, a lot of indie films that are trashy still usually have something Hollywood films almost never have: heart. And a good heart can at least make something watchable.
A lot of "bad" hollywood films are, strangely, amongst the most watchable: I LOVE shit like Hudson Hawk, Howard the Duck, Freddy Got Fingered (actually probably the best comedy ever made), Leonard Part 6, Cool as Ice, etc. It's usually the films that critics or film snobs jack off over that are the worst... and when I say "Worst", I mean "not entertaining in any way".
More shitty films I've seen:
