Saw this site just recently, and it displays the 100 worst movies as voted by the visitors of the website.

Just for the record, I decided to examine which decade the movies came out in...I tallied them up.
2000-2003:xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xx
1990-1999:xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx x
1980-1989:xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx x
1970-1979:xxxx
1960-1969:xxx
1950-1959:xx
Bold indicates projection of the 2000 decade movies...we are a little more than halfway through 2003, so divide 10 years by 3.6 = 2.7 * number of x's in 2000 = total number of projected x's rounded to nearest whole number (please correct me if my logic is wrong
Is anyone else surprised? In my opinion, I can conclude that the reason why movie sales are down are due to the number of shitty movies that are being released...and probably overhyped, as the more likely you are that you went to a bad movie, the more likely you are that you can call it bad from personal experience, barring those who rate movies badly even without seeing them.
Granted, the 2000's projection is a little better than the 90's, but again, this is only my rough estimation, and as you can see, we are pretty high up there anyway.
