16. I don't even understand why people liked these movies.

1. Titanic: Populist twaddle, and a story everyone knew the ending of.

2. Star Trek (the Chris Pine travesty): As a science fiction film it was terrible, with obvious contrivances and character improbabilities that robbed it of any believability. As Star Trek it was an insulting sacrilige.

3. Avatar: Brainless eye candy.

4. No Country for Old Men: The only thing the film has to say is that if you're too stupid to live, then you'll die. It hides its idiocy with an empty world weariness.

5. Inglorious Basterds: Though almost any Tarantino movie would fit the bill. He doesn't make genre films or homages to genres. He makes violence films that rip off genres.
