You can't hate pop culture like you apparently do and write for this site. (Or any publication that people are going to actually want to read.)
To clarify, the following are not "terrible":
-- all LOTR (3 movies)
-- Pirates #1
-- Dark Night
[I haven't seen any Harry Potters but don't think they qualify as "terrible"]
-- Finding Nemo (definitely not "terrible") -- haven't seen Incredibles or other Pixar on list but also I'm sure not "terrible"
-- Hancock -- actually pretty damn good
-- Ratatouille (wtf are you thinking Ratatouille is GREAT)
-- Passion of the Christ -- made by a bad man but not a terrible movie (I'm just going down the list but this is getting stupid)
-- No Bond movie (2 on the list) is "terrible" / all are "watchable"
-- War of the Worlds -- actually quite good
-- I Am Legend -- totally watchable / I cried at the big parting scene
-- Iron Man -- I bet this is one you didn't think was "terrible" -- I probably liked it less than you, and thought except for RDJ that it kind of sucked -- but it wasn't "terrible"
-- Never saw Night at the Museum but I'm pretty sure OW and BS had some funny moments -- I'm going to say not "terrible"
-- King Kong -- a disappointment to be sure but not "terrible"
-- MI2 -- actually pretty fucking great -- Tom Cruise notwithstanding
-- Day After Tmw -- did not see -- bet I would enjoy -- i'm going to say not terrible
-- WALL-E -- not at all terrible wtf are you thinking
-- Meet the Fockers -- did not see but I bet it was actually terrible -- I'll give you this, Transformers franchise, Matrix 2 + 3, Pirates 2+3, Star wars 1-3 (truly "terrible").
Which makes by my count 20-25% (tops) of this list as "terrible."
Somewhere between 30-50% are "ok" to perfectly satisfying.
And a full 40% are pretty damn good (to great) Hollywood product.
What a stupid post. #boxoffice

There were two full sets of equipment, because the Wall took so long to assemble and break down. While one batch of gear was in use at one run of shows, the second crew would be loading in at the next venue. It was a leapfrog arrangement that might have worked if 1974 hadn't been the year of the first spike in oil prices. #u2

Also, little correction--it's Saw 6, not Saw 4. #u2

That's "Swingers" era Vince Vaughn... the mistake no one regrets making all that much.
Current Vince Vaughn is that bloated neighbor who gets drunk way too early at the neighborhood block party and slurringly hits on someone's horrified teenage daughter right before passing out on the lawn. His long-suffering wife leaves him there all day, and one of his buddies throws a wet towel over his face once he starts to sunburn.

The whole thing is quite pathetic, really.
