Terrible New Format

As I mentioned last week, the whole two item format for "What's More Terrible" is a thing of the past, and I am now doing my own brand-new (or "new and improved" if you prefer) version of "What's More Terrible". See, a little background on this, for those who are wondering what the hell this "What's More Terrible" shit is anyway: it all started when in my early days with my current company I frequently would give a flat negative review for a movie by saying it was simply "terrible" and unbeknownst to me this was clearly one of my most often used words because John and Matt (and maybe others, but those two mainly from what I understand) began to use "terrible" as a sort of nickname and/or word to good-naturedly rib me for overusing it. That combined with my penchant to ask many questions, most often about movies, in which I only give bad choices and ask someone to choose what the worst thing is (or sometimes the best thing, but usually the worst), spawned a new way for these guys and Kelly to rib me: they came up with the mock-game "What's More Terrible" in which one of them would hold up two random things and ask Kelly which was more terrible. Kelly got very into it (not as into it as she is into Squares, but still pretty into it) and always would pick one of the two and have a real reason for why she picked one of the two things as the more terrible. Now keep in mind, they could be holding up two balls of lint to her, or crumpled pieces of paper or something, and she would still have an answer and a reason to back it up. Well since my whole "terrible" thing kinda spawned this, I got pulled into this, and soon I was the guy designated to ask between two things which was the most terrible. So that spawned this online version that I've been doing for the last couple weeks or months or whatever it is, but I've found it limiting in that I don't want to ask something that is too obvious (cause where's the fun in that) and that I don't want to ask something that is too obscure (cause then most people won't know what I'm talking about). So I've decided to "get back to my roots" as it were and am now going to have a more open, free-flowing format to my "What's More Terrible" questions every week. The beauty is that for me I can ask pretty much anything I want and not have to worry about maintaining the same structure. Ok, that was fucking long-winded as hell, so enough beating around the bush, here is this week's question:

What's the most terrible thing Peter Berg has done in his film career:

A.) - Act in the movie Shocker
B.) - Act in the movie The Great White Hype
C.) - Act in the movie Aspen Extreme
D.) - Write & direct the movie Very Bad Things
E.) - Other (write-in your own)

For those who aren't familiar with who Peter Berg is, here is a picture:

D.) Corky Romano, bitch.

Taking my victory lap.

Ponnerbell:

Now fhqwhgads, I'm scratching my head wondering if you saw that?

My vote is Very Bad Things. I completely dropped his pants on that one. It must have been what led him to Corky Romano, and the Rock.

Yams:

First off, Lambro, letter D was his involvement with "Very Bad Things" so I think you meant 'E'. Also, I gotta agree with John, did you actually see that?

fhqwhgads:

Whatever. I'm still right.

iendive:

Geez your blogs are getting longer, and I mean even the postings.. haven't got the stamina to read... must get audio version...

Anywhoo, I say B) Great Shite Hype, even though I didn't have to watch it for 3 times like poor Victor did. I mean Very Bad Things feature a particularly bitchy Cameron Diaz, that was a pleasure to hate! Aspen Extreme he wasn't that much in it Shoker... haven't seen it.

Yams:

My answer to this is that Peter Berg's role in writing and directing "Very Bad Things" is the most terrible thing he's done in his career, and unlike some people I actually did see "Corky Romano" (most of it, anyway). "Very Bad Things" was a really offensively bad movie pretty much from start to finish. The rest of the movies listed there had at least a little bit about them that could be enjoyable (though not very much), but "Very Bad Things" is one of those movies that makes you upset to watch it. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
