Idle Hands is a very late-90s stoner comedy... horror movie. This turns out not to be a winning combination of genres. It works, as both, but the audience is the overlap of a Venn diagram instead of both circles. It's a stoner movie you absolutely should not watch while stoned.

It's also packed with now-recognizable names. Seth Green, Jessica Alba, Vivica Fox, Devon Sawa, Elden Henson.

Absolutely bombed.

Battlefield Earth was the first movie i remember having this reaction to.

Sisters Brothers. it has decent reviews when i look now, but it seems to have flopped real bad at the theaters. I watched it free on YouTube and was amazed by it, and then I looked it up and saw it bombed. $38m budget, $13m box office. Oof

Blind Fury (1989) was my guilty pleasure. 6.3/10 on imdb.

Contains a death scene like Darth Maul's but predating it by 10 years.
