2. It was a Robert Rodriguez film, goddammit
Razzie-ing Jessica Alba or anyone for that matter, for a Robert Rodriguez film is just wrong. All Robert Rodriguez films should be exempt by law. If you haven't rented Machete yet, it is a funhouse ride.

3. I think they were just slamming Jessica Alba, the movie didn't get any other nominations
seems Ms Alba doesn't pick alot of winning movies to be in.

6. She is nice to look at and she follows directions
That is as much as I can tell about Jessica Alba. And certainly she could be included in the Razzies for some of her other work. My problem is including anyone from a Robert Rodriguez film. His films are like Orrex, if you don't like it, you don't get it. I do not give anything/anyone else this pass, especially not those guys on Top Chef who always say that the judge didn't get it, I don't buy that excuse.

7. I totally agree.
About Machete as well as Jessica Alba. Frankly, I'd happily watch Jessica Alba read from a telephone book. I was kind of forced to see "Little Fockers" (don't ask) and while the movie itself was pretty bad, having Jessica Alba in it made it far more watchable.

15. I think it's more about her body of work for the year
But, yeah, Machete was great fun. :bounce:

16. Yes, I get that now, thanks
It's about Jessica, not the film. However, judging acting in a Robert Rodriguez film isn't as straight forward as any other analysis. That is more my point, just don't include Robert Rodriguez in any capacity, 'cause chances are, you don't know what you are talking about.

Watched Machete a few times, still shaking my head ;)

5. I don't see how they're wrong with this.
Edited on Mon Jan-24-11 10:59 AM by Lucian
All the actors in all of those movies suck, especially those god-awful Twilight actors.

8. Yup. Somebody needs to tell that Stewart
girl that looking like you are having a seizure is not acting.

12. She's trying to do that 'teenage angst' thing that Neve Campbell did in 'Party of Five'
only problem is Neve did it first and way better. Stewart is nothing more than an annoying copy cat

13. She can't act.
She has no personality. She's dry. She just sucks.

Acting shouldn't be her first choice of job. She would be better suited to do something else, like maintenance at a high school.

Megan Fox just sucks the skillz out of him.

14. I take umbrage with "Vampires Suck" for Worst Picture ...
it was a cheap ripoff of the "Scary Movie" style of comedy. The rest aren't and I think a movie which is trying to get yucks for being a bad movie shouldn't be in it.

18. Big problem here...
Why did "Little Fockers" not get nominated for worst picture and worst sequel? Just from the commercials and trailers you know that godawful thing is going to depress sales of vacuum cleaners dramatically. Why buy a $150 vacuum cleaner when you can wait until "Little Fockers" hits the $5 bin at the local Walmart and glue the DVD to the end of a broomstick?

But then that's just me.

I liked the first movie; haven't seen the second one.

22. Have to vote "Last Airbender" for worst screenplay.
Horrible, horrible narration and
unnecessary supers setting up
EVERY SCENE.

I cut it a lot of slack because
it was an adaptation from a
kids cartoon, but even the KIDS
were insulted by this condescending
script.

I like the special effects in it, though,
and I'm a big fan of the original animated
series.

I'm sorry they made such a hash-up of
this, because I would have loved to see
sequels.
