Let's kill time. Tell me the worst song you've ever heard, the worst movie you've ever seen, the worst TV show you've ever watched, and the worst book you ever read.

EDIT: Just so I answer ...

Worst song: "King of Wishful Thinking". Not because it sucked, but because I was once subjected to it over and over again in a continuous loop at a mall and ever since then ... NO.

Worst movie: House of 1000 Corpses, probably. Blech.

Worst TV show: A tie between Mutant X and Seventh Heaven.

Worst book: I can't remember the title, but before Titanic came out in the theaters, before it was cool to be a Titanic geek, I was so starved for Titanic lit when I was in high school that I bought this romance novel I saw at CVS that was set on the ship. It was horrendous. Not only were the female characters annoyingly Mary Sue (I believe they were hotie teenage twins named Smoke and Swan or Shindig and Salmon or some stupid twin alliteration like that) but the author gave real people on the ship entirely different histories. The one that pissed me off the most was that Captain Smith ended up having a mistress living with him on the ship in his freaking quarters. *eye roll*

worst movie would be Blood Gnome
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0330068/

Worst song, "Achy Breaky Heart." Die, Billy Ray. DIE.

Worst movie, Octopus. I prefer my sci-fi with a dash of realism, thanks.

Worst TV show, "Kratz Kreatures". I was young, naive, and I wish someone had beaten me with a two-by-four.

Worst book, Wuthering Heights. Yeah, I know people consider it a classic. It put me to sleep.

Worst Song - Tub-Thumping by Chumbawamba - it came out while I was in college and it was big on the party circuit. I despise it.

Worst Movie - Four Rooms (I think that's what it was called). It was bizarre and hard to follow and made no sense.

Worst TV Show - Hmm... pass for now

Worst Book The Mayor of Castorbridge by Thomas Hardy. Too much architechtual details. Very dry, very boring.

[midnightbex.livejournal.com]

Anything Country >.>, The Boy in the Bubble (early John Travolta *shudder*), Eve, poorly translated All's Quiet on the Western Front.

[myniamh.livejournal.com]

Movie: Very Bad Things, had to walk out of the theater. Blurg.
TV: Hogan's Heros, "Let's set a comedy in a POW camp!" "Yeah, lets get a porn addict to star!"
Song: I'm repressing it. *closes eyes* Moon Shadow by Cat Stevens. Had it stuck in my head for a whole year.
Book: Earth Sea Quartett, for a female writer she deffinately went through a lot of female steriotypes.

[wal-lace.livejournal.com]

Worst Song: Danger Zone, from the Top Gun soundtrack. Seriously, it makes the Spice Girls look like great artists.

Worst Movie: I've watched a lot of completely irrelevant ones that were just too bad to be worth mentioning. Including loads of really bad kickboxing movies. The worst I've ever enjoyed is probably a toss-up between Punisher, version Dolph, and Mortal Kombat.

Worst TV Show: Lately, I've been exposing myself to Soap Operas. They're pretty dreadful.

Worst Book: Seriously, if it's that bad I'll put it down. I have read at least three Harold Robbins novels, though. And a couple of Mario Puzo books-that-aren't-The-Godfather-and-are-therefore-shit. Oh, and the novelisations of a whole lot of Hollywood blockbusters.

[zeelee-penguin.livejournal.com]

Worst Movie: Tie between The Straight Story and The Matrix. *ducks rotten tomatoes thrown by angry fans*

Worst Book: Tie between Great Expectations (Charles Dickens, duh) and The Pearl by John Steinbeck.

Worst Song: No question--'Proud To Be An American.'

Worst TV Show: Erm, I hate most TV. But let's go with Fear Factor.

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

Worst Song: Timothy by the Buoys [written by Rupert "If you like pina coladas" Holmes]

Worst TV show: I hate to say it, but the live action Justice League that had Charlie Callas as Sinestro.

Worst Movie: Toss up between Bigfoot and Angel at My Table. I sat through the former, but not the latter.

Worst Book: Can't think of one.

ain't easy, so i do it quickly

the worst film i ever saw was one of your favourite movies of all time. i fear.

worst song - probably w. houston's hitsingle.

worst tv - too many things, but seventh heaven maybe.

[linaerys.livejournal.com]

I absolutely detest "Roxanne" by the Police, but so much so that I have to listen to it every so often to remind me just how bad it is.

The People Under the Stairs, and I only watched the whole thing because I was 14 and a guy was paying attention to me for one of the first times in my life.

I've never really continued watching a TV show that turns me off long enough to remember it. Hmmm. There's something on the Discover Air chanel called Airport that is just like being in an airport. The BF loves it and I hate it with an abiding passion.

The Shadow of the Dolls, the "sequel" to Valley of the Dolls is probably the worst book, because it took these great characters and had them act in completely ridiculous, OOC ways. Or maybe Trading Up by Candace Bushnell. That book made my eyeballs barf and my brain try to crawl out of my ears.

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

Oh, wait, I remember the worst book now.

Floating Dragon by Peter Straub. It has a sickness in it not unlike the Stand, except this one slowly liquefies you to death like ebola.

And how do they defeat it? A child star from an old sitcom grows up, holds hands with his friends in the resistance, and sings "The Red Red Robin Goes Bob Bob Bobbin' Along".

I shit you not.

Lame-ometer off the fucking scale.

You'd hate the song worse if that was your first name and everyone who meets you thinks themselves incredibly clever to sing that the moment you introduce yourself -- since the song came out in 1979.

Worst Song: Barbie Girl, by Aqua. Dear Christ.

Worst Movie: Embrace of the Vampire. Some kind of Alyssa Milano vehicle before Charmed was dropped into her lap. Get this: one of the main damned characters is never given a name. In the credits he's only 'The Vampire'. And the reason for his seduction/turning/general excuse for Milano to act out pubescent's boys bad girl fantasies of Milano is not explained for the duration of the entire movie.

Worst show: Ooh, tough one. I'm stuck between Seventh Heaven and The Mountain. Probably The Mountain, though. Seventh Heaven, at the very least, still has one scrap of talent left with the return of David Gallagher, and on The Mountain you don't even get the virtues of hotness. You could actually drain enough oil out of Oliver Hudson's hair to fry an egg.

Worst book: One of the Dark Orgasm whatevers by Christine Feehan. I told myself that if the male or female protags referred to the male protag's 'tortured soul' one more time I was going to throw the book across the room. They did, I did, and I haven't seen it since. Running a close second, however, is Christopher Golden's first novel, the name of which escapes me. Two characters were actually using dialogue to artlessly give a bunch of exposition that both of these characters already knew to begin with.

Song: Jingle Bells. I HATE THIS FUCKING SONG! I don't care that it's a Christmas classic, it SUCKS.

Movie: Clifford, starring Martin Short as a 10yo. Buh? My family went to see it at the insistance of my brother. BLEEDING EYES!

TV Show: Yu-Gi-Oh! Crappiest show I have ever, ever been too bored to change the channel on. It's like reading a gaming manual but without all the excitement of playing and absolutely no drama. Of COURSE the good guys win and advance to the next level. And don't forget to win it for your blind friend in the hospital. *gag*

Book: Oo... Ulysses was pretty awful, but I think the prize goes to Nightwood by Djuna Barnes. Death, pain, and image porn. Bleck.

[aliaspiral.livejournal.com]

Worst Song: Celine Dion's cover of "I Drove All Night." so wrong

Worst Movie: hmmm. Timeline left me husband frothing at the mouth. it was funny.

Worst TV Show: Extreme Makeoever. Makes me ANGRY. if you are going to pay for extensive plastic surgery, how about giving it to BURN VICTIMS instead of people who whine about their looks? (Home Edition, to my shame, i actually enjoy)

Worst Book: Forever by Judy Blume. i read it as a high schooler, because i had heard it had been banned and wanted to know what the big deal way. eventually, when whosherface's boyfriend was whining about how much it hurt him physically not to have sex, i threw the book across the room and glared at it every time i passed for DAYS.

[linaerys.livejournal.com]

Dear God, that totally sucks. *calls parents and thanks them for not naming me Roxanne or Sharona*

My sympathies.

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

Thank you for understanding.

Most people automatically roll their eyes and say I'm taking it too hard.

My own mother on hearing the song said it was "sweet". Of course the version she heard was Sting singing it at Farm Aid as a ballad with just a piano.

Nevermind the song is about a whore.

*facepalm*

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

You think Barbie girl is scary?

Try listening to other songs by them. The Candy Man is pretty scary too.

Oh, GOD.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I loathe "Proud To Be An American", almost enough to swear Canadian citizenship. In fact, the only time I've ever liked it even a little bit was during the one scene of "Three Kings" that they used it.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I've gotten the same shit with "867-5309" and Forrest Gump since I was a kid, regardless of the fact that my name is Jennifer, not Jenny -- in fact, I've never gone by Jenny -- and whenever I get called Jenny, my mother and I take turns ripping the person calling me Jenny a new asshole. Grrrr.

why? was time bad?

[jake-camp.livejournal.com]

Worst song: Hello Mudda Hello Fadda.
Worst Movie: I have to choose? shit
Worst TV show: Jerry Springer
Worst Book: Rosemary's Baby


*looks at watch*

Re: Oh, GOD.

I was at a city park this 4th of July, and almost went on a psychopathic killing spree because THEY PLAYED THIS SONG DURING THE ENTIRE GOD DAMN DISPLAY OF FIREWORKS. Perfectly good explosions, ruined by this song! I tell ya, it just about broke my heart.

[kutsuwamushi.livejournal.com]

Worst song: Technotronic's "Pump Up The Jam" -- I can't put into words how stupid the lyrics are. Plus, the singer can't sing.

Worst movie: I don't watch bad movies (or any movies) as a habit ... probably Daredevil; all other bad movies were so long ago I've forgotten them.

Worst TV show: Surprise by Design. I'm sure there are more offensive shows out there, but I've never seen them. This show is just so sickeningly soppy and condescending that it makes me want to kick everyone involved with it. This is true of many TLC reality shows, actually.

Worst Book: Godslayer by Mickey Zucker Reichert. It's about a Vietnam soldier who's mysteriously turned into an elf transported to a fantasy world to, umm, do something. It's so badly written that it's funny. (Like when the hero is kissing the girl of his dreams and inexplicably starts thinking of his little brother.)

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

Problem there is that Jenny is generally considered short for Jennifer.

But I still feel your pain. People are dorks.

[robyn-ma.livejournal.com]

worst song: well, there are so many, but this is the one being an earworm for me at the moment -- 'whoever you are' by geggy tah: 'all i wanna DO is to thank YOU/even though i DON'T know who you ARE/you LET me change LANES/ while i was DRIVING in my CAR' ... can you just feel the braincells dying?

worst movie: again, so many. blood sisters of lesbian sin was pretty foul.

worst TV show: the bradys, the short-lived 1990 'drama' with the brady bunch characters. lame. we're talkin' night-court-in-its-fifth-season laaaaaame.

worst book: not that i've ever gotten more than a few pages into it, but a local retired cop self-published a really, really bad mystery novel. i take it off the library shelf every so often to sporfle. quote from the end:

"The skull of an animal, possibly that of a buffalo is laying on the ground, next to a gold medallion, partially covered by the desert sand. What all this means, is what every individual has to figure out within their own mind."

the epilogue also says, for no particular reason, "God is love, and life should be preserved in every way, particularly at conception."
