When I was in middle school I think, my mother took my younger sister and I to see Species 2. She had no idea what it was, only that it was an alien thriller and I liked sci fi and aliens.
She took us back out of the theater pretty quick.
I think the worst movie I saw in a theater was 300: Rise of the Empire, with its 4 minute sex fighting scene and the hilariously bad "secret weapon."
So if you asked me to come up with a Stereotypical Foreign Film Premise I would probably come up with something like this:
In this tale of love and survival in 19th century Estonia, peasant girl Liina longs for village boy Hans, but Hans is inexplicably infatuated by the visiting German baroness that possesses all that he longs for. For Liina, winning Hans’ requited love proves incredibly complicated in this dark, harsh landscape where spirits, werewolves, plagues, and the devil himself converge, where thievery is rampant, and where souls are highly regarded, but come quite cheap. With alluring black and white cinematography, Rainer Sarnet vividly captures these motley lives as they toil to exist—is existence worth anything if it lacks a soul?
Not to say the film is bad, but that checks all the notes for me when I think of "oh this is a foreign-ass foreign film"

That absolutely sounds like something the more pretentious theatre majors I know would jerk themselves into a coma over
apparently the reason Brendan Fraser quit doing movies is it was literally killing him
The films, in addition to having diminishing returns, were causing a physical toll: He was a big man doing stunts, running around in front of green screens, going from set to set. His body began to fall apart. “By the time I did the third Mummy picture in China,” which was 2008, “I was put together with tape and ice—just, like, really nerdy and fetishy about ice packs. Screw-cap ice packs and downhill-mountain-biking pads, 'cause they're small and light and they can fit under your clothes. I was building an exoskeleton for myself daily.” Eventually all these injuries required multiple surgeries: “I needed a laminectomy. And the lumbar didn't take, so they had to do it again a year later.” There was a partial knee replacement. Some more work on his back, bolting various compressed spinal pads together. At one point he needed to have his vocal cords repaired. All told, Fraser says, he was in and out of hospitals for almost seven years.
In that case I'm really glad he stopped
No job is worth killing yourself over and if you have the means to take a break, do so
I mean, there’s that... but it seems the real big cause was that he was sexually harassed by a studio exec
Yeah I hadn't gotten there yet
I'm really glad he got out and seems like he can just live a chill life riding horses and getting weirdly good at archery
That's basically the goal. I don't know anyone who, if they had enough money to retire before they were totally old and broken, wouldn't want to just spend their time getting stupid good with a bow and arrow. It's what you do.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust
Me and my cousin saw Mortal Kombat 2 in theatres opening night, we were the only 2 in the theatre, we got so bored at one point we went and complained to the front about the 2 loud people in MK2,
When usher came and saw it was only us two dumb preteens in the entire theatre, he just rolled his eyes and left.

Snitches get stitches.

I'm going to maintain that 300 is the worst movie I've seen in a theater
I've also seen BvS, Last Airbender, and Envy, but I really hate 300 you guys

It's the baroness! He's staring at the baroness! And the peasant girl is staring at him!
And then intercut shots of werewolves and ghosts and stuff. Symbolism!
Can't be too pretentious if you got werewolves in your movie

look at Fraser playing a texas lawman looking into a kidnapping in Danny Boyle's upcoming FX show Trust
He looks great! I want to check this out for sure

So I take you've never seen the original Mummy?
I respect that movie’s place in history, but I don’t think it’s very interesting or entertaining to watch. I’d take the Fraser version every time.
