As far as their worst pics go, I think Roeper picked 10,000 BC because it was awful AND it made 94M (though not enough to make back its budget ). Mute Saint had it right. Spoof movies and Uwe Boll efforts are so blatantly wretched that they shouldn't count as actual movies (same with The Hottie). I also figure Roeper and Phillips don't want to resurrect memories of said products for either themselves or the audience. While I agree with JoeChar about Phillips being a worthy successor, no one can replace Roger Ebert (hope he gets his voice back soon). | | Static Link |

Like if we ignore them maybe they might go away. Kind of like Uwe Boll. I still maintain that Hottie and the Nottie is an elaborate prank put on and isn't a real movie. Just this subliminal image of the director flicking the viewer off. | | Static Link |

Not when it has competition like The Hottie and the Nottie or Meet the Spartans or Witless Protection or Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins or College Road Trip or One Missed Call, ect. Maybe those picks were thought most obvious? Quote: Originally Posted by echo_bravo Hmmm still dont get all the love for Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Phillips is a worthy successor to Ebert. Iron Man should be on everyone's short list of best films so far. I'm don't think Hottie and the Nottie and Meet the Spartans were screened for critics were they? Thus, they can't make the list. | | Static Link |

Phillip's Pick for Worst of the Year so far: Never Back Down I got to say I'm a little disappointed with their choices of the worst of the year. 10,000 B.C. was pretty bad but there were worse movies out this year so far.
