RP didn’t get a Razzie. Why include him?
Whoops, I just saw that it was Lautner & Mackenzie Foy who won worst couple. Corrected!
actually he did, for worst screen ensemble-he just wasn’t singled out.
He was nominated for a Razzie and part of the worst screen ensemble.
The person who made that movie poster should also be handed a Razzie.
Surely you meant “threatens” instead of “promises” in the Jonas brothers link, right?
L2 – “Surely you meant “threatens” instead of “promises” in the Jonas brothers link, right?” – ha!
Hahahahaha. My thoughts exactly.
Happy to say I haven’t watched anything with Kristen Stewart.
Wasn’t the entire “epic battle scene” at the end a dream or something like that? (I didn’t see it, my 16 year old brother took his g/f and slept through most of it so his description was bad.)
One day I will watch these and snark them. One day.
“What will those awards do next year?”
Movie 43 happened this year.
Yes, and there is always an Adam Sandler movie to make fun of.
Have to say BD was pretty awful but I’ve seen worse!
Agreed. BD2 wasn’t exactly deathless cinema, but Battleship was WAY worse. As far as the actors go, Pattinson in BD2 was Laurence Olivier compared to Eddie Murphy in A Thousand Words and Nic Cage in Ghost Rider 2. Gotta agree with the KStew choice for Worst Actress, though.
Yes, Battleship was painful!!
I enjoyed Battleship. I like mindless action movies with big explosions, and I got exactly what I was looking for.
It don’t understand the hate. It didn’t stand out as particularly bad. I’ve seen (and enjoyed) plenty of other action movies with worse writing/CGI/acting.
I would have SO much more respect for any of those sparkly vampires had any one of them turned up for the award. KStew could have justified her “eff the establishment” attitude if she had.
Compare with Halle Berry – she may be a bit cray in her personal life, but she had enough of a sense of humor about herself to attend (and bring her Oscar with her).
So true. Guess they didn’t want to be seen anywhere near a razzie. Why not – she missed the chance of a lifetime to flip off everyone there.
And I love the Halle Berry comparison. I thought of that too.
Now that all is said and done, I really want T-Banks to give K-Stew the whole “WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU AND HOW DARE YOU?!…” speech.
She has been just… such a fricking disappointment. As a leading lady, as a celeb, as… as everything.
As far as Halle (and I think Sandra Bullock as well) it must be a whole lot easier to have a sense of humor about getting a Razzie when you already have an Oscar in hand.
Show up for what? They don’t have any kind of show that I know of. I haven’t seen anyone else (Rihanna, Adam Sandler, etc) “show up” for their award.
In reality, the Razzies are a joke and lose relevance each year. Voters have to pay for the “privilege”. It’s a money making scheme, plain and simple. So they go for the big ticket films/low hanging fruit to generate the most publicity for themselves.
Clearly, none of the voters saw that “Ooglieloves” disaster last year. And how did “John Carter” escape nomination? I’d see Breaking Dawn anyday over the mess that was John Carter. Plus, John Carter and Battleship were BOMBS at the box office.
Don’t know. Razzies seem cooler to me… I’d show up, have a laugh, enjoy getting more press and later, more money from DVD sales.
Me too. I think showing up shows you have a sense of humor and that you don’t take yourself so seriously. Altough Sandra Bullock winning one for “All About Steve” was wrong imo. I loved that movie. I like reading about the razzies and getting a good laugh in. It would have been really good if K-Stew had shown up and brought all of her razzies to the red carpet Sunday. I think I would probably like her if she had done something like that.
I’m the president of a preschool board, and I actually had a fellow board member tell me that she won’t let her three year old son do Zumba, because it’s for girls, or yoga, because they are catholic. I had to ask what the connection is, as I am catholic and have lost 100 pounds thanks to yoga practice! I had no idea this was a thing?!? Incidentally, this mom also has taken a strong stance AGAINST gay rights. I feel so sorry for the little boy who pretty much has no choice but to be raised as a prejudiced and confused kid who loves to dance but isn’t allowed too 🙁
To be fair, you could sort of describe traditional yoga as Hindu-style prayer, which’d be totally incompatible with the whole “thou shalt have no other gods” Christian thing.
But what most of us Westerners think of when we say yoga is simply stretching.
Totally not the same thing.
I help trial a mental health programme in primary schools. It was mostly anti-bullying techniques and the like, but had a small relaxation/guided-meditation programme. We had quite a few Christian parents who wanted to pull their kids out of the meditation part, because they equated “meditation” with “praying/spirituality”.
Once we let them hear the meditation tapes they were fine. (The tapes were simply stuff like: “imagine you’re on a warm beach … feel the sun on your skin … feel your body relax as the sun warms your muscles”.) I think they expected something more like: “feel the nature-spirit surround you as you breathe in the energy of the cosmos”.
(Feedback from the teachers was that they absolutely loved the relaxation sessions. Most of them did it after lunch, and apparantly it calmed the kids right down and led to a more productive afternoon.)
Here is a link that is kind of interesting!
Many people are guessing this Blind Gossip riddle is about Oscar Pistorius! Given that his defense is based on the fact that they were “in love”, this could be a big deal if true. They claim there is picture proof!
“Now that the 2013 Oscars are over, we can all go back to our normal lives.
But for this guy, normality doesn’t seem like something he will experience anytime soon.
Of late, he has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons thanks largely to his penchant for weapons.
But this is why we’re stumped: He has constantly professed his love for his girlfriend and said she was different to the rest.
But why then, would he would invite a stunning brunette for a romantic weekend in Vegas in December, when he was dating the girl of his dreams at that time?
If we didn’t have picture-proof we wouldn’t believe it ourselves.”

Good post, but if it is Pistorius than why would he have killed her in a jealous rage? If he wasn’t that serious with her than there would be no reason for him to be obsessed with her. I don’t get it. I am still not convinced he is guilty of premeditated murder. I need more evidence and they haven’t released all their info. After seeing the article CNN posted today about a similar incident that happened in 2004 where a famous rugby player shot and killed his daughter while she was driving out of the family home because he thought it was a thief I am ready to believe anything. Sounds like there is something going on where these wealthy South Africans are ready to shoot at anything and lose all sense when they think an intruder or a thief is around. It is like common sense goes out the window. Pistorius’s case and the one I referred to are just bizarre.
Maybe it wasn’t a jealous rage. Maybe she had found out he had cheated, was confronting him and it went horribly wrong. Today autopsy reports came out that show her skull was crushed before she was shot (yes they can tell). And to file it under the “you can’t make this stuff up” from what I understand his attorney and brother are involved in other murders? And the judge is in mourning of a cousin who is suspected in killing her two children and herself this past weekend.
If this resurgent crushed-skull rumour is true, it blows his defense out of the out of the water.
However, I have some doubts:
– Why would the prosecutors withhold that at the bail hearing?
– This would mean the detective committed purjury (under cross-examination he said the autopsy showed no signs of assault or defensive wounds, and that they had nothing to directly contradict OP’s version of events).
– The defense made a big deal about her empty bladder, so they must have seen the autopsy report. If there were a crushed skull, they would’ve come up with some other defense, and not run with OP’s affidavit.
– The guy who ID’d her body says first he heard of this was reading it in the papers (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/oscar-pistorius/9891015/Oscar-Pistorius-was-told-to-back-off-from-Reeva-Steenkamp.html)
– Police denied this on Sunday (same link as above).
So I’m not trusting the Daily Mail on this one just yet. I did go looking for an alternate (more trustworthy) source, but it looks like everyone is just quoting the DM.
So Twilight got tagged for the Razzies, and a near sweep. I think the cheating scandal, along with the bad acting, motivated people to give the Worst Actress “prize” to Kristen. (Noticed Rob was spared.) The “ick” factor of imprinting on a child made Taylor a lock for being a double Razzie winner. It explains why Kristen and Taylor were out in full force on Oscar weekend: their individual teams had to know this was coming so they made sure their clients were seen at the best parties as a distraction. (Note to Taylor – being seen at the Vanity Fair party with TWO of your exes and not taking the current “gf” is not cool.
I tried to watch the movie, well the second one I think, but just couldn’t get through it. I just didn’t understand with all the money they made they never put that into the production budget. I guess because the fans never cared. but not comparing the movies in context, but look at the Harry Potter franchise. They put so much money in the production. The quality got better and better with every film.
I wonder what the next obsession will be and if the twilight fanbase will continue to support these actors. That will be the real thing to watch over the next few year. HOW loyal are they really or was it just Bella and Edward and Kristen and Robert.
Those wolves look hilariously bad!!! Terrible CGI.
She’s standing in the mans spot in that last photo. RPattz, grow a pair.
I am so ashamed that I know this, but that pose actually makes sense given her vampire-power.
My excuse for having read the entire Twilight saga is that I simply can’t stop reading a book/series. Any book at all, once I’ve started, I can’t stop part-way through, no matter how atrocious the writing is.
I haven’t watched the movies, I still have some cool-points left, right?!?
Well the next “big”YA movie is Mortal Instruments in Aug(? ) Given the tepid reception for Beautiful Creatures, I am sure the producers are anxious
