The Tenth Annual Mutant Awards: 2007

Ten years ago, we cobbled together our first Annual Mutant Award ceremony, an event so disorganized and smelly that New Jersey still blames us today for the toxic waste. Yet it started something great, too: an award show where you, the watchers and movie fans, were the ones to award your favorite (or loathed) movies and stars. We hope that this year's ceremony entertained you as much as it did us! I now leave you with a bevy of comments and quotes scribbled on the ballot slips.

• Oh geez, there were some hard ones up there! Anyway, thanks for a great year, and let's hope there's a few less lousy sequals and more cult stuff from Hollywood in 2008!
• Dumbledore is gay! Yay!
• Hail to the King Baby!
• Stay Limber -Blinkfan
• Buckbeak was a Hippogriff and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was an adaptation, not a remake :P
• Stay gold MRFH.
• TheOogieBoogieMan strikes again! ...is that pithy enough?
• What? No Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo for Best Sequel Title?
• you guys suck... you have crap taste in movies.
• Good heavens, this must be my third, perhaps even *fourth* Mutant Awards contribution... thingy. It's always been a pleasure to read your reviews. All of the people who contribute (out of their own free time and for free, to boot!) to the site, leaving little nuggets of humour on the front page almost every day, are so kind and thoughtful (and out of your minds; when are ye gonna kick Justin into paying ye?) to do all this for us, for both our entertainment and our edumacation. It's always so interesting to read not only the humour you put into your reviews, but the little snippets of your personal lives (such as Sue's frequent references to Spawn of Mutant 1 and 2). All of these touches make your reviews more interesting to read, and always keep me checking the site every morning. Thanks for all your effort; keep it up!
• The savage pepperonis are upon us, yet the felonian wrath shall stave them off another day!
• i think that pretty much any hollywood remake of any asian horror movie should be put in the most unnecessary remake category. also, catch the original 'the eye' before its remake is released. i can pretty much guarantee it will be at least 6.22 x 10^23 better than the american remake
• Although, that last category should be Dead by Dawn instead of Army of Darkness.
• Ah, the pithiness.
• There is a world byond Hollywood, what about the returning wife from "survive style 5plus" for the Dead and Loving it category??
• Worst movie theme - flash dance - "what a feeling"....Unless you're trying to get a job at a Brewery
• October 20th was (and is, every year) official Rex Manning Day, commemorative holiday to celebrate the anniversary of the release of "Empire Records". Celebrate accordingly, damn the man, and spread the word. Also, while "Mazes and Monsters" probably doesn't have a chance of winning, it's thrilling just to see that it's getting nominated. I forget, did the MRFH awards ever do an award for best before-they-were-stars appearance in a cult film?
• I found the Rewriting History category to be a bit vague over whether it was suppose to be a good or bad thing. I ended up deciding bad and (as a lifelong Virginian) chose Pocahontas.
• "And Leon is getting larger!"
• StormRider here and I have to ask, will the Remus-bashing ever stop? Last year it was his mustache, now it's his werewolfiness, cut the guy some slack, he's been dead for quite some time now. Also the last question was not fair at all. Making us take sides like that, bad mutants, bad.
• Your website is my homepage. That's how much I like you guys.
• Something witty this way comes.
• purple
• Oooooh....Princess Bride versus Army of Darkness? That's just a agonizing decision!
• You do realise that none of the women here will be complaining about the lack of clothing in 300? Hehehe.
• My plant is trying to kill me!!!
• The Mutant Reviewers From Hell make most movie/entertainment magazines look like no-talent, low rent, websites with no writing skills. . . um?
• The SciFi Channel should earn a special award for it's Saturday night movies. Each movie is filmed in glorious crap-o-rama.
• Where's "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo" on the best sequels listing? Don't you cats know quality when you see it? Yeesh. Or maybe that joke has been beaten into the ground...
• You know I was going to go with Good the Bad and the Ugly, but I just can't pass up "The Secret of the Ooze" as the best title ever. Seriously. I write that for the title of everything. I'll scan my notebook RIGHT NOW. Chemistry: The Secret of the Ooze. Calculus III: The Secret of the Ooze. Tech Comm: The Secret of the Ooze. Fluid Mechanics: The Secret of the Ooze. HVAC: The Secret of the Ooze. IT JUST WORKS WITH EVERYTHING.
• I'm surprised you guys don't do more Elvis movies...
• Dear Cary Elwes, circa 1987: I "heart" you. Just so you know. (Also...Saw? Seriously?)
• "You know what your problem is, it's that you haven't seen enough movies - all of life's riddles are answered in the movies." -Steve Martin "You can map your life through your favorite movies, and no two people's maps will be the same." -Mary Schmich "Film lovers are sick people.." -Francois Truffaut
• Never have so many Movie fans owed so much to so few mutants. Party On!
• I started to write a pithy saying, then ended up with three paragraphs, then realized I talk too much. So this is what you get.
• Best Cult Film of All Time, and you leave out: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Evil Dead (Army of Darkness doesn't count), Pulp Fiction, Amelie, Freaks, Lord of the Rings and many others? I think you bit off a little too much with that question, and only nine nominees.
• Give Sean Bean some kind of award!!!!
• pith pith pith
• If I win a bet that Star Trek XI will actually be awesome then I will have enough funds to invade America. I will spare the mutants. Long Live Soviet Canuckistan!
• My girlfriend helped me pick these. That's a big deal. It took me three and a half years to train her to have an opinion of movies that would be worth it, so I was proud.
• That Werewolf in Harry Potter was so bad I wanted to scratch my eyes out. Whoever came up with that needs to be shot. Repeatedly. With a Machine gun. Whilst they're being burnt at the stake. In a pit of snakes. Remember- there's no such thing as overkill!
• Thanks a lot, now I'll have the ninja rap in my head all day long.... :(
• Just because you can rhyme doesn't mean you should.
• Whoa, best cult film of all time? There should'vd been a write in ballot for that one. Where's Rocky Horror Picture Show? Where's Pulp Fiction? Not like I like those movies, but my goodness, we need more options there. But as usual, you come up with the best categories and greatest reviews. I can't wait for Hallow-Horror-ween!
• I love you guys!
• Abuse of Stock Fantasy animals should include Eargon- a world so bland and riddled with such pathetic representations of fantasy icons that they even manage to fail as cliches!
• "Uh oh. Here come the white hats."
• Baked potato.
• Wow, it's really obvious which ones I nominated...
• I went to a party last Saturday night. I didn't get laid, I got in a fight. Whoah, it ain't no big thing.
• Gignac.
• Zathras: Zathras is used to being beast of burden to other people's needs. Very sad life... probably have very sad death, but at least there is symmetry.
• I love this website. In the face.
• Way to make the last question make me choose like I had to choose between God and Jesus. Way to go.
• Why'd you have to make us pick between The Princess Bride and Army of Darkness?
• Grand Canyon (1991): Davis: That's part of your problem- you haven't seen enough movies. All of life's riddles are answered in the movies.
• First, I am proud to once again kneel in worship at the altar of all things Mutant Reviewer. It's been a great year, guys. Second? I wish to lodge a protest at the last question - to be honest, I'd like to vote for Rocky Horror, Empire, Princess Bride and Clerks in addition to Holy Grail. And I really think that Mystery Science Theatre 3000 the movie should have been included. Third, may I be so bold as to suggest a category for next year? What about 'Worst remake of a Japanese horror film by Hollywood'? I can think of four movies off the bat. Actually, how about 'worst remake' as well - or did we already have that another year ? I voted for Psycho in most unnecessary, but would have gone for Godzilla as worst. And in the rewriting history, 'troy' was my worst offender (I haven't even seen it, because I was afraid of getting kicked out of the theatre after not being able to take it anymore and staging a protest in the cinema) but Bubba Ho-Tep was definitely the most
• Party on, and be Excellent to each other!
• I gonna go to Dizneelahnd! Royce Gracie, after winning UFC 1
• It's cold out here... guys? Guys? Can I just come in and warm up my hands? Hello?
• Fantasia 2000 was not a remake, it was a second in what Disney had hoped would be a series of movies, so it doesn't really qualify for the award or the shame, depending on how you look at it. Other than that, San Dimas highschool football rules!
• A whole section for the Undead, and no mention of My Boyfriends Back? He eats a dude in school!
• I LOVE YOU forever and always
• I would have voted for Falcor, but I realized that a white and pink snake-lizard-dog hybrid that can fly without wings and brings whoever is with him good fortune is pretty much the coolest thing ever.
• What did the blonde say when she looked in the box of Cheerios? Oh, look! Donut seeds!!!!
• The Psycho remake -- that one features Vince Vaughn, right? I remember watching and feeling sorry for him because he and the movie sucked, and so he wouldn't have much of a career. Unfortunately, I was wrong.
• Love the reviews! Keep up the good work!
• Bruce Campbell is a god-like being.
• As a longtime fan of your site, I must express my sadness that you forgot three important things: 1) "Ninja Rap" rivals Hulk Hogan's "I Wanna Be a Hulkamaniac" for most amazing song ever. 2) We don't say midget. It's just bad mojo. 3) Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. Come on, people. Ocean's Twelve makes your list, but not Electric Boogaloo?
• What's with today, today?
• Unrelated, but I owe you guys (especially Lissa) for a lot of the things I've come to love about Lord of the Rings. Thank you.
• No "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo" for Best Sequel Title? You fail at life.
• I've said it once, and I'll say it again, check out the movie "Nothing But Trouble"...if you dare!
• the rewriting history one- gotta throw that Viggo Mortensen movie in- Hidalgo- apparently the guy the movie was based on lied- ALOT!
• MRFH is TEH R0XX0RS!!!! Long live geeks!!!
• The Quality of Our Lives (if we think of this matter in terms of "How much of what we individually consider to be Beautiful are we able to experience every day?") seems an irrelevant matter, now that all decisions regarding the creation and distribution of Works of Art must first pass under the limbo bar (a.k.a "The Bottom Line"), along with things like Taste and The Public Interest, all tied like a tin can to the wagging tail of the sacred Prime Rate Poodle. The aforementioned festering poot is coming your way at a theatre or drive-in near you. It wakes you up every morning as it droozles out of your digital clock radio. An arts council somewhere is getting a special batch ready with little tuxedos on it so you can think it's precious. - Frank Zappa
• No job is soul-crushing; the spirit has a high compressor strength but (historically) little tensile strength. --N Prado
• Keep up the good work, guys.
• My hovercraft is full of eels.
• My dog's breath smells like kitty-box crunchies.
• The last question was what ensured I'd fill this out.
• Keep on rocking, MRFH
• Hug hug, kees kees, leetle hug, beeg kees, hug hug...leetle hug
• "Violence is a form of cinematic entertainment" -Quentin Tarantino (best movie related quote ever!)
• Just to write something: "There are two things you can't argue in film: comedy and eroticism. If something doesn't make you laugh, no one can tell you why it's funny, and it's difficult to reason someone out of an erection." ~ Roger Ebert
• Seriously, is someone making eggs or am I having a stroke??
• Now if you'll excuse me, I have some death to defy!
