To the surprise of nobody, Halloween Ends is fucking rotten. I'm too annoyed to write any more about it or link to a trailer.
What is the latest BAD film you watched?

In a bell tower, watching you through cross hairs.
"It Came From The Desert". I don't believe there is a worse movie out there. The FX were bad, the acting was bad, the whole thing was just, SO FUCKING BAD!!! If I had paid to see it, I would've demanded my money back, plus 20% for suffering and anguish.
I'm going against the grind and say "Avatar 2"
Not necessarily a "bad" movie, in fact I actually like many parts of it. But I would call it "disappointing".
I watched it not only in 3D, but the Full HFR (High frame rate), ATMOS, etc - i.e. the "best" version out there.
The 3D was good - not too overpowering. Story was bleh, but no one really cares about that in Avatar.
The framerate was noticeably better than any film I've seen in a theatre - but the issue was it's inconsistent. You'd go from one shot of full high frame - then jump to a "normal" framerate shot. They had an unlimited budget & all the time in the world - they should have been able to keep that framerate for the entire film.
I also wasn't a fan of the Japanese logos on the harpoon gun. I'm fine with the whole "save the oceans" message, but for a white director to be criticizing racialized people about their traditional practices - fuck that. If Top Gun was smart enough to not call out a specific nation, Cameron should have known better. Speaking of which, despite a HEAVY emphasis on indigenous culture (notably the Maori), apparently there were no cultural consultants for the film. That just oozes cultural appropriation.
Lots more I could comment about, but I want to avoid a full text-wall review. Let's just say I was ok with the visual experience, but still dissatisfied at the end.
What I do hope for is that the new Transformers film uses the same tech. That's a film that would look awesome with that framerate.

Host (2020). It's basically one hour of women screeching at a screen
The Green Hell (2017). They aimed at Cannibal Holocaust and hit on some generic comedy, with fart jokes and all

It's good to be the king...
Empire of the Ants (1977) this morning on nostalgia channel Talking Pictures TV. Only watched it for Joan Collins, but IMO "Phase IV" (another ants take-over movie) is better.

I grade "bad films" on a scale of 1-5 whiskey bottles; 1 being the best of the worst, only needing to drink one bottle to be able to enjoy the film and 5 being the worst of the worst having to drink 5 bottles of whiskey just to get through it.
And what is a recent 5 bottle rating movie?
Bickering morons get stuck in quicksand. It's as stupid and crap as it sounds.
Daisy Ridley in the Marsh King Daughter. I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I have a hard time buying she's a hardened warrior when it looks like that rifle's recoil could break her arms. She can get away with the force and lasers, but this feels like pushing it.
Birds of Prey - that Harley Quinn flick. The action scene at the end, in the amusement park was COMPLETELY unrealistic. Four women take on something like four dozen goons, and win. None of the women even get remotely injured.. And, one of the women is 5'1", 59 year old Rosie Perez. Another one is Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who looks like she'd have trouble standing straight in winds over 10 MPH.
