Or Not…? 

After giving you my picks for the worst Oscar-winning Best Picture movies of the 21st century in the March 17 issue, I came across a similar list in FarOut magazine. But rather than their picks for the worst Oscar-winning movies, they presented their choices for the absolute worst of the century.

Worst of the worst? Sure, I wanted to see what they had to say. I began by watching the trailer for their pick for the absolute worst: The Emoji Movie. It was, undeniably, very, very bad.

However, I disagreed with their selection for the next-to-the-worst movie: The Human Centipede 3. The Human Centipede movies are truly horrific. But they belong to a class of cult films whose intention is to be horrific in every possible way. So, including this classic of purposefully bad movie making in a list of movies that were trying to be good is simply not fair.

I can’t recommend FarOut’s picks. But if you’d like to take a look at them, click here.
