Pew...what's that smell? Oh, it's just Robin Williams and John Travolta

Don't mind me, I'm just limbering up for my Monday morning work tantrum!  Who's ready to join me?   Now bend and stretch - really work those glutes so you can get the most out of your kicks once the alarm wakes you up.

Hope you enjoyed the weekend as we enter into TMMC's most important week of the year.  While I still haven't decided between my burgundy or powder blue tux or made my appointment with my plastic surgeon Dr. Nick, I'm still eagerly anticipating Sunday's upcoming festivities.  St ay tuned to TMMC all week for updates and the latest news coming out of the Kodak Theater.  And most importantly, don't forget to enter the Oscars Sweepstakes, for your chance to win a $50 gift card to Fandango.com or a movie theater of your choice.

Despite all this gold fever, who really cares about the Oscars when you've got the Razzies?  Let's be hoest, it's much more fun to harp on the worst than it is the best.  As we prepare to hand out the gold raspberries honoring the worst of 2009, last week TMMC posed the question, "which movie deserves the Razzie Award for worst film of 2009?"  And 45% of you readers selected...
Walt Disney's Old Dogs

Apparently you have really lost all hope in both Robin Williams and John Travolta!  I mean forget the Travolta, that was a lost cause years ago, but have you no reverence for Euphegenia Doubtfire?  Close behind, Land of the Lost received 36% of the votes and was just shy of taking the lead.  Now this one I'm not surprised about at all - I started feeling embarrassed for Will Ferrell ions ago with Bewitched.

Transformers 2 or Trannies Too (no, as long as this mockery of a franchist lives, my love for that joke will never die) brought up the rear with 18% of your votes.  And, interestingly, Sandy B's All About Steve and GI Joe received no votes at all.  Here's my take on this one...nobody saw or even heard of All About Steve, so you couldn't vote for that one, and you, like me, actually enjoyed GI Joe to some extent, even if it was flawed - and I'm being generous with that one.

My own thoughts?  Personally, I'm still pissed Nine wasn't nominated because I"m still reeling at the fact  they let Judi Dench embarrass herself like that with a microphone.  I'm sorry, but when a scene with Kate Hudson ends and you say to yourself, "that was actually the most entertaining part of this movie," you know you're potentially watching the worst movie ever made.  But, since Nine was totally overlooked for a Razzie Award (and consider yourself lucky this time Mr. Day-Lewis), I'd have to say I thought Trannies Too deserves the award for Worst Movie of 2009.  For some reason, this movie really got under my skin for being as bad as it was.  It was a Prime example of Hollywood caring nothing about a storyline or character or acting, but basing 2.5 hours on nothing but explosions and graphics.  And that was the part that bothered me most - 2.5 HOURS of that crap?!  Torture!  I was ready to stab pencils into my ears after hour 1!

Well thanks for voting in last week's poll and to further celebrate the Academy Awards, vote in this week's big water-cooler question!
