The Worst of Music, TV, and Movies

In the midst of the awards season, the Stagg Line decided to give some awards of their own. These awards aren’t going to the best movie, actress, or soundtrack. In fact, they aren’t going to the best anything. These awards are being given to the worst of the worst, in music, television, and movies. Enjoy!

MOVIES
1. “The Room” (2003)
Imagine a film that has an incoherent plot, mind blowingly terrible acting, and is also absolutely hilarious. Brought to us from internationally unknown director Tommy Wiseau, this holy grail of awful films has become a cult classic in the same way “Plan 9 from Outer Space”did 50 years ago. The movie is packed full of horrible lines of dialogue (“I did not hit her, it’s not true, it’s bulls****, I did not hit her, I did not…..Oh hi Mark.”) The characters are all wooden and dull, with the exception of Wiseau himself. Whenever he’s on screen you can’t help but laugh at his over the top and awful delivery. Say what you want about Adam Sandler’s multiple Razzies, this guy is deserving of the award for worst actor of all time. If you’re in for an horrendously bad yet enjoyable ride of overly dramatic cinema, then by all means, sit down and watch “The Room.” The best worst movie of all time.
2. “The Twilight Saga” (2008-2012)
3. “The Last Airbender” (2010)

MUSIC
1. Rebecca Black – “Friday”
Catchy doesn’t always mean good. In fact, catchy is a word usually used to describe a song that you hate to love and love to hate. Rebecca Black’s infamous song “Friday” is a perfect example of that. We all know that this song is bad, like really bad. The lyrics, the melody, the beat, the terrible music video, everything made it a hot mess. I wish there was something good to say about any of it, but sadly there isn’t. A few lines of the song go “kickin’ in the front seat sittin’ in the back seat/ gotta make my mind up/ which seat can I take?” Now let that sink in for a minute. Don’t you just want to ask Rebecca why she’s so blind and can’t see that there’s only one seat available for her? Besides the laughable lyrics it’s also hard to get past her nasally auto-tuned voice. While this song was stuck in many of our heads regardless of the day, it’s safe to say that it’s been one of the worst songs of the past two years.
2.  Carly Rae Jepsen – “Call Me Maybe”

3.  Chief Keef – “Love Sosa”

TELEVISION:
1. “Jersey Shore”
If you like spray tans and bump-its, the “Jersey Shore” is for you. But if your IQ is higher than, I don’t know 2 maybe, you’ll want to stay away from this show.  Between the forced drama and obnoxious dialogue, it’s impossible to find anything good about this show. And I still don’t know what a Snooki is. Also, don’t get me going on how insulting this show is to Italians everywhere. I mean, is this seriously how we’re perceived? Because I can assure you, we’re not all petty little creatures obsessed with partying, the beach, and partying on the beach. Some of us are obsessed with interesting things, like bread or pasta. But really, I have no clue what this show is about. I understand there’s drama and people live on the Jersey shore for a month or something but besides that I have absolutely no clue. It’s a trashy show and I would suggest it’s about time we all move on.
2.       “Honey Boo Boo”
3.       “American Idol”
