Law And Order: Special Insanity Unit
Worst Movie of the Decade:
I use this as loosely as I can but the film Meet the Spartans was "WRITTEN" by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. To me this represents the worst film of the decade for a number of reasons. First and foremost its lazy film making. Under the guise of humor and parody the two "writers" who also acted as co-directors simply put identifiable characters and have them say their name or just get kicked in a well and its supposed to be humor. REMEMBER WHEN BRITNEY SPEARS SHAVED HER HEAD?!?! WELL GUESS WHAT SHE DOES IT AGAIN IN THIS MOVIE!!! REMEMBER 300 AND HOW PEOPLE YELLED??!?! REMEMBER PARIS HILTON!?!?!
A string of scenes tied together loosely by fart jokes and weak physical comedy are insulting. The worst part is really that the onus of enjoyment is placed entirely on the viewers awareness of other better movies. Remember Rocky Balboa...well good because we have a weak impression of him in this movie!
This gets top nod as the worst film of the decade because it also managed to open as the number 1 film in the country. This makes me feel sick and worry about this countries direction. A world wide gross of over 84 million means the morons who were green lighting this actually aren't morons...they knew the real morons would go to this. A film like The Hurt Locker makes around 16 million and this makes 84...granted not the same year or anything but the perspective is enough for me to punch a wolverine.
I would not shed a tear if the two writers/directors of this were to disappear off the face of this earth. The best part is they sleep on a giant pile of money and will work again in hollywood.

Knowing you're an avid Slate reader, I'm sure you've seen, I think its Dana Steven's long running hatred of the two "writers" you've mentioned. Track that stuff down. I also thought the name of this post was in reference to what I call "weed moments" on Law and Order SVU. You know what I'm talking about, when something on the show is so fucked up that if you were blazed you would lose your mind; Happy New Year.
