Stereogum Presents...


Besides being a Senior Editor for one of the internet's premier websites for quality enterainment news and reviews, Stereogum's Gabe Delahaye has been writing about his search for the worst movie of all time. The movies he selects are based on audience submissions and each review is individually hilarious. Gabe has the ability to identify,articulate, and hold accountable the absurdities of plots that most people just let pass, even movies you might like,and yet completely agree with his review about. So far the movie Elizabethtown is deservingly in the lead. Check out the site, here.

An excerpt from Gabe's Man of the Year review:
The main problems with this movie, besides TOTAL IRRELEVANCE and ROBIN WILLIAMS, is that it's all predicated on tremendous lies. For example, everyone in the movie thinks Robin Williams is HILARIOUS. America LOVES him. Except that he's horrible and annoying and obnoxious and not funny at all. But even accepting the movie's premise that he's funny, which is sad when a comedy makes you willfully suspend your disbelief that the comedic hero is actually funny, it's still impossible that someone would be funny to a majority of the population. During this past election, The Daily Show got its highest ratings in history, with 3.6 million viewers. That's just over one percent of the population, which is great, and which is also nothing.

Other notable reviews include: The Family Stone, Lost in Space, Lady in the Water, Spanglish, Smart People, Gigli, The Number 23, Mr.Brooks, Crash, Dan in Real Life
