Uh, the Razzies site says the nominations aren't revealed for two more weeks, and I don't see anything about this on the MTV movie blog... so where is this coming from, exactly?
@Gray665: I watched it on Netflix as well, though I did manage to watch the entire movie. In my honest opinion, I thought it was a God awful piece of trash. I rated it a single star as a result. There was only one thing in the movie that made me chuckle, but now I can't even remember what it was.
As it was the first of his films I had ever seen, I gave it a chance. I'm sorry to report that it lived up to the low expectations I've always read about these movies.
@FIRST!!!: Tom Cruise's role in Tropic Thunder was funny at first...but it turned into a one-trick pony way too quick and by the time he started dancing I wanted no part of it.
That movie is great, but his role does not hold up to multiple viewings.
Man, I hated Tropic Thunder, and rolled my eyes every time he was on screen (with the exception of the head grip punching the director - I lol'd). Any time Ben Stiller is in front of the camera I just cringe. How can anyone find that man funny? Also. Robert Downy Junior, not that funny. Yes, Tony Stark = amazing, but RBJ as a 2 hour long black joke, not at all. I'm amazed at all the press he's got for that.
In other news, M. Night Shyamalan's next horror film is reportedly centered around an everyman-aspiring writer/director/producer that dumb lucks his way into getting the bankroll during a free spending boom economy to fund one decent flick casting Bruce Willis opposite a cute little kid, but then rolls that 15 minutes of fame into a ten year career of filming absolute crap and bilking the movie-going public out of untold billions of dollars.
These types of people are not affected by these, even though they are nationally known and he's being publicly humiliated. HE thinks what he's doing is great. There is likely a small circle of people who commend him on his work (family, actors, grips, etc), and he feeds from them to continue.
I mean come on, this is the guy who put together a boxing match to beat up his critics. Do you think he really cares about getting an "award" saying he's the worst director? He will not stop until there are no more video game licenses he can buy. Here's hoping that the games we love never become available to him.

The guy who wrote that blog entry (who is a Razzies voter) got the Razzie ballot yesterday. That how he know about the nominees.

"The Happening" has got to be one of the worst films I ever saw. A great premise ruined by an absolutely anti-climatic reveal.

He was hilarious on Tropic Thunder, and he's getting good reviews on Valkyrie.
