For all of the movies discussed here today, many of which are pretty 
bad, I have to say that none of them are as truly, deeply and painfully 
bad as /Event Horizon/.  Shea is entirely correct.


Some movies are pretty bad, and you forget about them moments after 
leaving the theatre.  Some movies are pretty bad but, oh, the soundtrack 
is OK.  Some movies are just bad in a fun way, like /Waterboy/.  Some 
movies, are so bad they're kind of good.  /Plan 9/ is a classic for this 
very reason.

And then you have /Event Horizon/, which is just excruciating to sit 
through.  Never have I seen acting talent - Lawrence Fishburne, Sam 
Neill, Kathleen Quinlan - so thoroughly wasted.  No, not wasted: 
defiled.  It isn't so bad its good, it is bad and it just keeps getting 
worse.  Go ahead, order the DVD.  For your worst enemy.
