14 Terrible Movies That Some People Actually Love To Watch
Recently, u/bsoupdude asked r/MovieSuggestions for "the absolute worst films y'all can think of". So we thought we'd share some of the most popular responses. Manos: The Hands of Fate "Every frame looks like someone's last known photograph!"–MoreReputation8908"Oh, if you have never been subjected to Manos, you really have to give it a try."–jbenzeBrief description: This low-budget horror is about a family who are stuck at a remote hotel which is under the management of a nefarious cult leader. The Room "Obligatory The Room recommendation."–masterslut"Take a drink every time there's an establishing shot of San Francisco and you'll be wasted half an hour in."–sandman_42"That film is so remarkably bad it belongs in the Library of Congress."–joshuatxBrief description: This cult classic, riddled with awkward dialogue and strange performances is about a love triangle, and is famous for being so bad it's good.

Don't know that I'd survive the other two now that I've quit drinking..."–AltruisticCableCarBrief description: We watch as a small town is under attack from terribly animated birds. Geostorm "Geostorm is the undisputed king of big-budget, so-bad-it's-good movies. Hear me out. Unlike movies that are wink-wink 'bad' on purpose, ironically (e.g. The Meg, VelociPastor) this movie attempts to be very serious, which only exacerbates how hilariously bad it tries to recreate all the serious beats of movies like Independence Day and Deep Impact, but it's like too many acid-tripping executive producers had a say in the final product. It ends up a glorious trope-fuelled nightmare of hilarious bullshit."–PowermanFriendshipBrief description: This disaster movie is about climate-controlling satellites that, after malfunctioning, begin to cause extreme weather events that threaten the entire world.

Rubber "The plot is uninteresting but holds character development, the subplot is where the gold is."–hoggsauceBrief description: We watch the killing-spree of a sentient rubber tire that is on a mission of destruction for literally no reason. Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom "Just gave up halfway through Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom. Bafflingly awful. And for some reason obsessed with Aquaman literally getting pissed on."–BojukaBobBrief description: Aquaman must team up with his imprisoned brother in order to save the world from a mystical ancient evil. The Toxic Avenger "Comically bad and instant cult classic.... Which makes this a wonderful film!"–chrisdiaz73Brief outline: We follow a janitor who, after falling into toxic waste, becomes a crime-fighting superhero. Plan Nine From Outer Space "It is considered by some critics to be the worst film ever made. It's so bad that it can be fun to watch if one is in the right frame of mind."–Peaceful-Spirit9Brief outline: This cult film is about aliens who begin to resurrect the dead in an attempt to save humanity from itself. Megiddo: the Omega Code 2 "There is such a thing as so bad it's good, and the apex of that genre is Megiddo: the Omega Code 2."–tomrichards8464Brief outline: This apocalyptic film depicts the growth of a ruler of the world that turns out to be the antichrist.

No idea what the point of the whole thing was."–desteufelsbeitragBrief outline: This post-apocalyptic film follows a infamous criminal (Nicolas Cage), and his mission to rescue the governor's granddaughter from the dangerous region of Ghostland.

Amber Heard
Amber Heard has acted in many television shows and movies including 'Aquaman,' and 'Criminal Minds.' Heard also had a lot of press around her very public relationship with now ex-husband, Johnny Depp. She was born on April 22, 1986, in Austin, Texas to parents Paige and David Heard. Heard, whose net worth is now $-6 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth losing the defamation trial to Depp, got her film debut in the movie, 'Friday Night Lights' in 2004. After that movie, she went on to work in many other films like 'North Country,' 'All the Boys Love Mandy Lane,' 'Pineapple Express' and 'Zombieland.' She also had various television appearances in shows like 'The O.C,' 'Criminal Minds,' 'Californication' and 'Hidden Palms.' Some other films Heard was in during the earlier stages of her career were 'The Stepfather,' 'The Ward,' 'Drive Angry,' 'Syrup,' and '3 Days to Kill.' In 2011, Heard played Chenault in 'The Rum Diary.' She and Depp met during the filming of the movie. They were both in relationships at the time, but eventually started dating in 2012. The pair got married in 2015, but got divorced two years later. They have been in a huge legal battle since Heard wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post, implying that she was abused by Depp. After a six week trial in Fairfax, Virginia that millions tuned in to watch, the jury found that Heard had defamed Depp and awarded the actor $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive, which were reduced to $350,000 due to Virginia's law. Heard was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages due to the statements made by Depp's attorney Adam Waldman. Heard owes $10.35 million to Depp, an amount that her lawyers have said she cannot afford to pay. Heard and her team have tried to appeal, but have been unsuccessful in their endeavors. One big role that the actress is known for is playing Mera, in 'Aquaman' with Jason Mamoa. She also plays the character in the 2017 'Justice League' and in 'Zack Snyder's Justice League.' She is in the 'Aquaman' sequel, 'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom' that is set to come out in 2023, even though her appearance in the "Aquaman" sequel has became controversial after the legal situation with her and Depp. Even though Depp was Heard's most public relationship, she has also been connected with painter and photographer Tasya van Ree in 2008, model Cara Delevingne, Tesla founder and billionaire Elon musk on and off from 2016-2018 and art dealer Vito Schnabel. She does however have a a daughter Oonagh Paige Heard, who was born via surrogate April 8, 2021.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard chart new lives three years after courtroom drama
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have both moved on since their defamation trial grabbed headlines three years ago, causing fans to take sides in the bombshell-filled courtroom trial. Following her loss when she was ordered by the court to pay Depp $15 million for defaming him with her Washington Post op-ed in which she claimed domestic abuse, Heard sold her California home and left the country for Spain in late 2022. The 39-year-old wrapped filming on "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" months before the defamation trail began in April 2022, which to date is her last film. A year after the verdict, Heard went to the Taormina Film Festival in Italy to promote her 2023 independent film "In the Fire," which she filmed after the trial, but she doesn't have any upcoming projects, according to IMDb. A source told People magazine at the time that the actress was "excited about working and filming again. She was exhausted and disappointed about the trial. She felt she was mistreated." But despite not having any projects on the horizon, the "Aquaman" star appears to be thriving in Spain, where she is focused on motherhood. Heard announced on Mother's Day earlier this month that she recently welcomed twins Ocean and Agnes, sharing a photo on Instagram of their little feet. "This year I am elated beyond words to celebrate the completion of the family I've strived to build for years," she wrote in the post. "Today I officially share the news that I welcomed twins into the Heard gang. My daughter Agnes and my son Ocean are keeping my hands (and my heart) full." Heard welcomed her first daughter, Oonagh, in 2021, four years after she and Depp finalized their divorce following a two-year marriage. Heard said she didn't think she could possibly "burst with more joy" after the birth of her oldest daughter, whose feet can also be seen in the photo of the newborns, but she added she is now "bursting times three!!!" She continued, "Becoming a mother by myself and on my own terms despite my own fertility challenges has been the most humbling experience of my life. I am eternally grateful that I was able to choose this responsibly and thoughtfully. To all the moms, wherever you are today and however you got here, my dream family and I are celebrating with you. Love always, A." On her 38th birthday last year, Heard posted a photo of herself sipping a drink at a winery, calling it a "Champagne kind of birthday." In January of last year, she also posted a photo of herself sporting her character Mera's fire engine red hair, writing, "After all this time, Aquaman 2 made its splash (sorry, it's too easy) Thank you to all of my fans for the overwhelming support and love in Mera's AQ return. Thank you so much." Heard had claimed during the trial that her role in the film was downsized because of the scandal, but the producers said it was because of a lack of chemistry with star Jason Momoa, her agent testified. Meanwhile, Depp, who said that Hollywood executives "stopped calling" amid the scandal which he referred to as a "soap opera" that was "literally televised," appears poised for his own comeback, a term with which the actor has taken umbrage. "I keep wondering about the word 'comeback' because I didn't go anywhere, matter of fact I live 45 minutes away," Depp said in May 2023 at the Cannes Film Festival while promoting his new film "Day Drinker" with Penelope Cruz. "Maybe people stopped calling out of whatever their fear was at the time." He added, "But no, I didn't go nowhere I've been sitting around so comeback is sort of like you know it's almost like I'm gonna come out and do a tap dance." Depp shared the "first look" at the film last month, in which he appears dapper, pairing an open-collared Navy suit with a graying beard while holding a drink. The actor teased that the movie was "coming soon." Interestingly, the movie was filmed in Spain, according to Deadline. The film is "in production," according to Depp's IMDb page, which describes it as a story in which an "enigmatic stranger forms an unlikely bond with a grieving bartender who lost her lover, their lives intertwining in unexpected ways." Adam Fogelson, Lionsgate's Motion Picture Group chair, recently said "there is no better filmmaker than [director] Marc [Webb], or two more perfectly cast actors than Johnny and Penélope to bring that world to life," according to Variety. Before "Day Drinker," which marks Depp's return to Hollywood, the actor was cast in the 2023 independent film "Jeanne du Barry" and directed "Modi, Three Days on the Wing of Madness." Depp received a seven-minute standing ovation at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival for "Jeanne du Barry." Depp is also set to play Satan in Terry Gilliam's comedy "The Carnival at the End of Days," according to his IMDb, which could start filming sometime this year, Deadline reported. Last year, Depp returned to voice work, playing the title role in the animated comedy "Johnny Puff: Secret Mission." The film has a limited release in theaters before heading to streaming services. Depp, who was dropped from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the "Fantastic Beasts" franchises because of the accusations, reflected in 2023 about whether he felt boycotted by Hollywood. "You'd have to not have a pulse to feel like, 'No. None of this is happening. It's a weird joke. When you're asked to resign from a film you're doing because of something that is merely a function of vowels and consonants floating in the air, yes, you feel boycotted." In March of this year, Depp also shared a photo of an art collaboration with Paris' Deyrolle, a curiosity museum founded in the 19th century. "Like so many before me, I've been drawn to the world of Deyrolle, a place that celebrates the strange, the beautiful, and the often-overlooked wonders of nature," Depp wrote in an Instagram post along with a photo of him looking at his drawing of an elephant. "It's been an endless source of inspiration, and I'm deeply grateful for the chance to collaborate with them. It's an honor, and a bit surreal, to now be part of their story, especially with a creature so close to my heart: the elephant." His oldest daughter, actress Lili-Rose Depp told Entertainment Tonight in 2023 that she was "super happy for him. I'm super excited" after his standing ovation for "Jeanne du Barry." Depp incorporated the elephant into his art in the 1990s when he was a new father and saw the animal as protective, according to Sortir a Paris. Depp told the jury during the trial, he wanted to clear his name for the sake of his children who are now 26 and 23, but were teenagers when the allegations broke. Depp sued his ex-wife for $50 million for defaming him in a December 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she claimed to be a domestic abuse victim, although she didn't name him in the story. Heard countersued for $100 million and the former couple accused each other of abuse in the televised six-week-long trial that riveted fans in the spring of 2022. When the trial ended in June of that year, Heard was initially ordered to pay $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages to Depp, but that was lowered to $10.35 million because of a statutory cap on punitive damages in the state of Virginia after a jury ruled in favor of Depp on three separate claims of defamation. Depp was also ordered to pay Heard $2 million after his lawyer called her claims a "hoax." The two eventually settled with Heard paying Depp $1 million.

When is MultiVersus shutting down?
Finally, the story of MultiVersus finally comes to an end. There has been a lot going on in the world of this multiplayer title. The genre was already hugely overcrowded, where the Warner Bros. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Games title's short stay proves how tough this category has become. Similar thing was thought about Marvel Rivals too, but it turned the tables over everyone's head, and still is the best multiplayer gamer in the market right now, even after over nine months of its release. However, another title of this genre, Concord, met with the same fate as MultiVersus. MultiVersus is officially shutting down today It's an end of MultiVersus. | Image via Warner Bros. Games. After a rough journey of one year, it's time to bid adieu MultiVersus. In January, it was already announced that Warner Bros. is going to shut this game down. There were rumors too about its potential revivals which raised some hope for its fans, but unfortunately those never came into reality. MultiVersus is officially shutting down today at 9 AM PT/ 12 PM ET. The game enjoyed its short stay in the gaming world which consisted of a total of five seasons. The last season also brought Lola Bunny from Looney Tunes and Aquaman from DC as playable characters in the game for a final push. But nothing could save the game at all. Actually, it's quite tough to stay in the market in the live-service segment if the game offers no unique aspect. And this is exactly what happened to MultiVersus. It's also a pretty tough time for Warner Bros. as far as their gaming wing is concerned. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was already major blow from the company as it never touched the sales expectations, forget exceeding it unlike other Rocksteady studios. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Amidst this situation, the failure of MultiVersus is absolutely devastating. This scenario could be explained well when it was revealed that Warner Bros. acquired Player First Games for MultiVersus and spent around a freaking $200 million to make this game. But all in vain. Players are advised to spend all the available in-game currencies (Glamium) in their inventories, because we are now a few hours from the game's demise. Although, those who have logged into the game after February 4 will still be able to enjoy the offline mode of the game. However, the core aspect of the game was its live-service model, and not being able to complete the $100 Founder's Pass is hugely disappointing for the fans. Read More:

James Gunn Teases 'Superman' Cameo in 'Peacemaker'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors "Superman" is on its way and with it comes the introduction of the DCU. A month after "Superman" premieres, fans will be able to finally watch the second season of the hit series "Peacemaker". If you're worried there won't be that many connections between the two projects, some words from DC Studios co-chief James Gunn should quell those concerns. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Gunn made it clear the connections are there, including a hint that one of the major characters from "Superman" will make an appearance... maybe the Man of Steel himself? Read More: Marvel Star Says He's Done With The MCU "We see a lot of different characters from 'Superman' in the [season], [including] Isabela and Nathan and Sean, and then we see a bunch of other characters later on in the season from other parts of the DCU and from 'Superman'," Gunn told EW. "There might even be one really, really, really big cameo near the end of the show." John Cena as Peacemaker in "Peacemaker" Episode 7, which landed on HBO Max on Thursday, February 10. John Cena as Peacemaker in "Peacemaker" Episode 7, which landed on HBO Max on Thursday, February 10. Katie Yu/HBO Max We already knew Frank Grillo would be appearing in both "Superman" and "Peacemaker" as the new head of A.R.G.U.S., Rick Flag Sr. And if you've had the chance to see the first full trailer for "Peacemaker" then you've seen Peacemaker's disastrous interview with Maxwell Lord, Hawkgirl, and Guy Gardner. But from what Gunn says, it seems like we'll be getting even more "Superman" characters in the season, and it's tempting to speculate about the "really, really, really big cameo." If David Corenswet's Superman does show up at the end of "Peacemaker" Season 2, it might not be that different from the end of the very first season. The inaugural season ends with Peacemaker and his allies saving the world and the Justice League showing up afterwards. While Superman and Wonder Woman are both kept shrouded, John Cena's antihero actually does interact a bit with Jason Momoa's Aquaman and Ezra Miller's The Flash. Cameos won't be the only connections between "Superman" and "Peacemaker" either. Gunn told EW, "You've seen what we call the QUC, the Quantum Unfolding Chamber, in the first season of Peacemaker, and we see more about that technology in Superman. The QUC is the center of the story in Peacemaker season 2." "Peacemaker" Season 2 premieres on HBO Max on August 21.
