All About Steve (2009)
A film starring Sandra Bullock, All About Steve was almost universally panned by critics. Manohla Dargis of the New York Times said that "the grimly unfunny comedy All About Steve might just be the worst movie on Sandra Bullock’s resume."[106] Kyle Smith of the New York Post said that this film "is a deeply unpleasant, bottomless well of cringe induction. It may be the worst Bullock movie I've seen, and I've seen Speed 2: Cruise Control."[107] Rotten Tomatoes reported that only 6% of critics gave the film positive reviews,[108] and four of those critics picked it as the worst film of 2009.[109] The consensus of those reviews was that "All About Steve is an oddly creepy, sour film, featuring a heroine so desperate and peculiar that audiences may be more likely to pity than root for her." According to another review aggregator, Metacritic, the film has received an average score of 17%,[110] placing it within Metacritic's list of the top 100 all-time lowest-scoring films.[41] The movie was nominated for five Razzies at the 30th Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture, Worst Director (Phil Traill), and Worst Screenplay,[111] winning for Worst Actress (Sandra Bullock), and Worst Screen Couple (Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper).



I was suprised to see this movie on there. I recently rented in out of a redbox... and although it wasnt one of my favorite movies of the year, It did have some entertainment value.

Pretty crazy year for Bullock to win a Raspberry and an Oscar.

relaaaaax.

They own and thus control the world.

Very disturbing that one clan are able to get so powerful.

THE JOOOOS JOOS JOOS*


*The rothschilds are behind pretty much every anti-semitic conspiracy ever.

So awesome. I'd love to see a biopic.

I've been learning Italian listening to Michel Thomas. Pretty fascinating life by anyones standards.

Gerald Blanchard was a criminal mastermind. Read the second link from Wired magazine in the references section. Awesome story.

Another criminal mastermind immortalized by Frank Zappa in song.

The most maximum security prison in the United States which has been called "the modern day Alcatraz." It only houses 400ish of the most dangerous inmates and has been in operation for a bit over a decade. The links at the bottom of the page are pretty interesting as well including the 60 minutes special.

From the entry on Dahmer. The second paragraph below is as sick as anything else about the story.

In the early morning hours of May 30, 1991, 14-year-old Konerak Sinthasomphone (by chance, the younger brother of the boy whom Dahmer had molested) was discovered on the street, wandering naked, heavily under the influence of drugs and bleeding from his rectum. Two young women from the neighborhood found the dazed boy and called 911. Dahmer chased his victim down and tried to take him away, but the women stopped him.[29] Dahmer told police that Sinthasomphone was his 19-year-old boyfriend, and that they had an argument while drinking. Against the protests of the two women who had called 911, police turned him over to Dahmer. They later reported smelling a strange scent while inside Dahmer's apartment, but did not investigate it. The smell was the body of Tony Hughes, Dahmer's previous victim, decomposing in the bedroom. The two policemen failed to run a background check that would have revealed that Dahmer was a convicted child molester still under probation.[30] The officers laughed about the incident, one joking that his partner was "going to get deloused."[31] Later that night, Dahmer killed and dismembered Sinthasomphone, keeping his skull as a souvenir.

John Balcerzak and Joseph Gabrish, two of the three police officers who returned Sinthasomphone to Dahmer, were fired from the Milwaukee Police Department after their actions were widely publicized, including an audiotape of the officers making homophobic statements to their dispatcher and cracking jokes about having reunited the "lovers". The two officers appealed their termination and were reinstated with back pay. They were named officers of the year by the police union for fighting a "righteous" battle to regain their jobs. Balcerzak later served a term as president of the Milwaukee Police Association.[27][32]

not really.

IIRC he painted that skull to look like plastic and kept it on display in his apartment.

seriously epic thread now all i need is a social life

That Mary Celeste article is great.

This. I know the story but never read the wiki before, the captain's letter doesn't give away any clues but is still an interesting read.

agree. very creepy, worth a read.

That's a neat one. Lightning looked like 3' wide blue blades that high up.

That sniper dude made all those kills in under 100 days, so he was killing like 7 people a day Jesus.

Such waves were said to consist of an almost vertical wall of water preceded by a trough so deep that it was referred to as a "hole in the sea"; a ship encountering a wave of such magnitude would be unlikely to survive the tremendous pressures of up to 980 kPa (142 psi)[citation needed] exerted by the weight of the breaking water, and would almost certainly be sunk in a matter of minutes.

Many years of research have confirmed that waves of up to 35 meters (115 ft) in height are much more common than mathematical probability theory would predict using a Rayleigh distribution of wave heights
