The Eleventh Annual Mutant Awards: 2008

Thanks to everyone who voted!

• First!
• Not a one.
• Technically, Rocky Horror has the best soundtrack of the group, but since it's most definitely NOT a "crappy film," I chose Purple Rain instead.
• I like cheddar cheese in my biscuits.
• Give Sean Bean some sort of award!"Speed Racer"...best movie of the year! Also, Megan Fox is not hot and "The Dark Knight" is not a masterpiece.
• "Speed Racer"...best movie of the year! Also, Megan Fox is not hot and "The Dark Knight" is not a masterpiece.
• I have a dream that our favorite cult movies will one day play in a nation where they will not be judged by the title on their cover but by the content of their awesomeness. I have a dream today! I have a dream that one day, down in Hollywood, with its vicious producers, with its investors having their lips dripping with the words of "opening weekend" and "box office draw" -- one day right there in Hollywood little Nathon Frillon and Bruce Campbell will be able to join hands with little Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today!
• I think George McFly SAVED Biff Tannen's LIFE by punching his lights out. Otherwise Biff Tannen would have gone to jail for rape (this certainly ain't no "peepshow"). Instead he became subservient and wore a cool tracksuit. Boo-yah!
• "Oh my God Karen, you can't just ask people why they're white!"
• HOPE FOR CHANGE!
• For Notorious Movie Gun I would give honrable mention to Chow-Yun Fat's duel pistols in pretty much every John Woo film he's been in.
• Real tough one this year. There were a couple of categories which didn't have any films I had actually seen, so I had to go by reputation. Next year's survey should have a category for Least Attractive "Beautiful" Woman.
• If I can, I cast a vote for a write-in candidate: Painless - the minigun from Predator :D
• I'll always be a reader of MRFH, no matter what.
• Klaatu barada nikto
• That was actually a bit fun. :)
• When the irrate monkey of life starts chucking poo, it's time for the righteous to break out the rain gear! Because when all is said and done, it's just not going to smell good.
• What do you mean crappy film? Let's do the Blitzkrieg Bop again!
• What, nothing from Serenity/Firefly this year?
• While 2008 is by no means as good a year as 2007 in terms of quality movies released, 2009 looks to be just as good if not better. I can't wait!
• HOW DARE YOU SAY IDLE HANDS IS CRAPPY!!! It has a young Jessica Alba!
• Myspacebarisbroken.
• Rocky Horror Picture Show a crappy film?? Never!
• Glorious
• Lots of tough choices this year. I voted Biff for best bully because (in the initial timeline, at least) he managed to keep his victim under his thumb for 30 years! That's staying power that you don't find every day!
• You guys rock. (-:
• You guys ROCK!!
• "Look out... look out... Pink elephants on parade; here they come, hippety hoppety! They're here, and there - pink elephants everywhere! Look out... look out... They're marching around the bed, on their heads, clippety cloppety! Arrayed in braid - pink elephants on parade! What'll I do? What'll I do? Such an unusual view! I can stand the sight of worms, and look at microscopic germs, but technicolor pachyderms are really too much for me! I am not the kind to faint when things are odd or queer or quaint, but seeing things you know that ain't can certainly give you an awful fright! What a sight! CHASE 'EM AWAY! CHASE 'EM AWAY! I'm afraid, and need your aid - pink elephants on para-a-a-ade! Pink elephants... Pink elephants... Pink elephants...
• Pithy, me? Uh, no, but I am glad to see several movies I recognize on the ballot this year. It's been a long, crazy trip all around, including for you Mutants. Let's hope there's more living people in Hollywood next year.
• Lots and lots of 80's movies here... did Sue stuff the submission box???
• Beware of where the huskies go and do not eat that yellow snow.
• Loving the categories this year, but I really must protest..."Rocky Horror" is anything but crappy. Outside of that, spot on contenders...even *reading* "Git R Done" is making my ears bleed in protest!
• You must choose. But choose wisely.
• I didn't even read the others ones. "Yipee" is by far the worst word in the English language. I would sell my soul to be enslaved on Kessel for eternity if it just meant I would never hear that word again, and it was erased from my memory forever. You know what the worst part about it is? Darth Maul. Seriously. Think about it. Would the bad-ass Iridonian REALLY have just stood there while Obi-Wan jumped over him? No! He would have chopped his head off instantly. Then he makes Padme his awesome Sith Wifey and we have a much more interesting story than anything Count Dooku could ever do. Count Dooku could read the entire history of the universe set to the music of Queen with topless cheerleaders parading around stage and it wouldn't be half as interesting as watching Darth Maul just laying back, watching some football, and asking Sith Padme for another beer. There, I SAID IT.
• Some of the most difficult voting I've ever done.
• Just when I thought the categories couldn't get better, they do. Congrats, Mutants, on being awesome.
• As the One Who Jokes might say, "I inquire as to the reason for your excessively contemplative visage."
• Inherit the Wind (1960): Henry Drummond: I don’t swear for the hell of it. Language is a poor enough means of communication. We’ve got to use all the words we’ve got. Besides, there are damn few words anybody understands.
• This must be my third, perhaps fourth year (at least!) of reading your reviews, and I therefore at least the third time I've gotten to vote here. It's a pleasure to read your reviews, since they offer more than just your opinions on the films in question; they also give us glimpses of your real (or UNreal) lives, something professional reviews leave out. Keep up the good work, everyone. I appreciate it!
• All these worlds are yours, except Europa. Attempt no landings there.
• Does breaking wind near old people in crowded supermakets thus nonverbally placing the blame on them considered wrong?
• Whoo hoo! First time catching this in time for the voting and I got to help choose the categories. Of course I didn't at all vote for any of the categories I chose, nuh-uh. I am completely nonpartisan, unbiased, and otherwise wishy washy. I am Heather and I approve this message.
• "No time for love Dr. Jones!"
• You needed to distinguish between the crappy Dolph version of Punisher or the crappy Travolta version of Punisher. Should have had a category for "Urban milieu that least looks like New York" with a choice between Vancouver, Toronto, St. Louis, Tampa, and Los Angeles studio lot.
• “Every woman should have four pets in her life. A mink in her closet, a jaguar in her garage, a tiger in her bed, and a jackass who pays for everything.” - Paris Hilton
• It was really REALLY tough to choose between Elektra and Howard the Duck. I'm just saying. Also, you guys should have done this before the election because now everything else seems so unimportant.
• I can't tell you how warmed my heart is to see Transformers put on the "Crappy Film" list. I'm all for dumb entertainment, but it's not supposed to be an assault on my intelligence. How that has been so embraced by the geek crowd is beyond me.
• Some of these are no-brainers, especially Best Computer Geek.
• Sad thing is, I've read some writer's take on Batman that makes Batman and Robin seem almost spot on. Emphasis on almost. And by almost I mean "but still not nearly as crappy."
• My players just defeated a gloom golem with fire breath. It was awesome. So are you.
• Keep it up, you guys make me smile.
• When are you going to get real jobs?
• I said no pith, NO pith on my Mutie! But it had pith in it, big grains of pith, floating in the glass....
• I... am... your singing telegram! *BLAM*
• Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Use boiling water, or you'll make weak tea.
• "I Have Ridden the Mighty Moon Worm! Peace Out Y'all!" - Al Gore
• I'm wearing a friggin' robe!
• Since when is 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' a crappy film? :)
• I heart your site and will one day write for it. I love movies, and I am good enough, but I am lazy as sin. So, don't worry. One day I will get my head together enough to be able to commit. And on that day I will finally be able to give something back to this great website. Pip pip.
• Still a great site after all of these years. This may be the 4th year in a row for me to say this: Check out "Nothing But Trouble"...if you dare...
• Susie was in chemistry, Susie is no more, for what she thought was H2O was H2SO4.
• I love you all! - Nancy
• Van Helsing is NOT a crappy movie. So there.
• If I were the marrying kind, which thank the lord I'm not, sir, the kind of mutant I would marry would be a mutant reviewer!
• Whadda ya mean, /final/?! What happens to me when I click the butt
• "You call him Dr.Jones!" is an awesome line
• more evil dead!
• You'll shoot your eye out!
• Thank you all for MRFH!
• Tarantino is the awesomest director since Ed Wood.
• Howard the Duck was probably a worse movie than The Punisher, but I really had high hopes for the movie that were horribly, horribly dashed.
• "What makes a great computer geek? Skill? Fashion sense? Xena tapes? I'd say it's the ability to fill an entire house with deliciously laser-toasted popcorn! THAT'S real genius!" - Sharky
• I hate you for making me choose between Brandon and Dennis Nedry, and the entire beatdown section is ridiculous. So hard to choose!
• 11 years? Seriously? You guys lasted this long? Wow... ;)
