Out of the worst picture nominees, I've only seen Dark of the Moon and Breaking Dawn. Breaking Dawn was far worse, though I would dare claim it was superior to the first two Twilight movies (how they avoided worst picture nominations while the latter, less crappy ones do is inconcievable).

Though I haven't seen it, the mere concept of Jack & Jill makes me want to vomit. I'll be rooting for that one.

I'd like to see New Year's Eve take home the "honor" of worst film of 2011. Holy christ was that film baddddddd. I mean this is an "All Star" cast and none of whom could carry the film's acting

I found Dark of The Moon to be a pretty dull film since the story feel rush and it was missing, it was nothing new. I saw parts of Jack & Jill at my job and it look pretty awful. I'm surprise that Green Lantern did not get any nominations?

I've never understood why people critize Transformers' storytelling like that. It's not a film trying to tell a story and failing, it's a 2-hour commercial trying to sell merchandise and succeding.
Every film should have at least one animal attack.

Yup. It's like a more modernized (and somewhat more grown-up) G1.

The G1 series didn't had the best story and characters but at least they where more enjoyable then any of the films. The G1 series didn't had awful humor like Dog's skreeonk each other and awful stereotype people. The G1 series still holds up today next to other 80's cartoon series like Ducktales and Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers.

Ya know, I never thought about it that way. But that's exactly right. I enjoy both Bay's TF movies and G1 and they are both pretty shallow as far as story goes, but they were made to sell toys (also Car's in the Bay movies). Of course, that doesn't mean they shouldn't have had good stories.

The bolded is debatable.

The rest is untrue. Remember B.O.T.? Remember how those boys told that girl to shut up, and Optimus Prime laughed? It might not be juvenile teenager humor, but it's still juvenile child humor.

Sure Dark of The Moon might be a tiny bit dull in some places but IMO it's not catered for film elitiests as it is a fun (IMO) popcorn film and it enterains me alot. Is it Citizen Bore (Citizen Kane) or TDK or Inception levels of "OMG GREAT ACTING & STORY TELLING"..........hell no and it didn't need to be.

Huh? Citizen Kane, Inception or The Dark Knight, are not catered for film elitists. Truth to be told the later two are also fun, popcorn films. The difference with Michael Bay's body of work, is that these are actually movies, while Transformers is clearly not. You cannot say it's poorly written, as it's essentially as much of a movie as this is:

All the dog sex from the first two movies lasted for a COLLECTIVE 5 seconds. It's not like the entire movie was nothing but dog sex scenes. And God forbid the Twins act like half of the black people that I know :roll:

It isn't that their racist that people hate them, that's just a vocal minority
It's that their really annoying, horribly 2-dimensional attempts characters.

Call them whatever you want, they're still terrible.

Also how many Black people do you know? I've met hundreds none of them ever acted like that.

I closely know 10 (not incluiding you since, well, I've never heard you talk before). Half of them speak the same or similar vernacular as the Twins do.
