#42: Name the most nauseatingly useless, “critically acclaimed” artsy fartsy motion picture?
We discussed ridiculous stunts in our last fight, settling on a few car scenes with Hooper topping the list. It was Montgomery Creative’s first win and this week MC asks:
Name the most nauseatingly useless, “critically acclaimed” artsy fartsy motion picture?
The Rules:
Post your answer as a comment. Make it clear that this is your official answer, one per member.
No profanity. No pornography.
Defend your answer in the comments and fight it out against other MFC members’ answers for the rest of the week.
Whoever gets the most likes on their official answer comment (and only that comment) by Friday night wins the fight. You may like (heart, whatever) as many answers as you want.
The winner gets the honor of posting the next question the following Saturday.
In the case of a tie, the member who posted the question will decide the winner.
Notes:
Only movies will qualify (no TV shows, or documentaries); however, films that air on television or streaming (BBC films, a stand-alone mini-series) will qualify.
Your answer can be as off-the-wall or controversial as you’d like. It will be up to you to defend it and win people to your side.
Fight it out.
Would you like to join the fight?

Alien: Resurrection
The Alien franchise was destroyed the moment Sigourney Weaver was allowed influence over its stylistic direction. Vincent Ward lit the fuse with his script for Alien 3, killing off Newt, Bishop, and Hicks (I'm still pissed off about that) and David Fincher finished it off. Most people hated it. But then came along Alien: Resurrection which made a bad thing worse. Josh Weadon has walked away from it, not because he'll admit his script sucked, but because he contends director Jean-Pierre Jeunet executed everything wrong. Nonetheless, the critics applauded it and rest of us shook our heads in disgust about what could have been had the original William Gibson script for Alien 3 been green-lit instead. Bah.
I don't get the appeal and applaud of, "Citizen Kane."
