Been checking with Wikipedia. I was wrong about Wallace being the first to suffer that form of execution.

Marcellus never gets killed in PF. Perhaps you were thinking of Vincent? He gets shot by Butch when he exists the crapper. Gets killed by his own gun no less. Can't believe a professional hired killer would be so careless.

LOL.. It was GREAT, that scene when Vince was in the crapper! The timing of the toaster popping, and bam-bam-bam!

Anyhow, what I was going to say was: Yeah, professional hired killer is one way to put it, but on the back of the movie box IIRC, Vince and Jules are referred to as 'a couple of low-rent hitmen' -- so on that: I guess you get what you pay for lol

Schindler's List was good: based on fact and stuck close to the book.

I liked the Prestige. And it had Scarlett Johanson in it.

That reminds me:

Spider-Man * (200*) - I doubt anyone can produce a worse adaptation of spiderman than has been done in these movies. I'm glad the main actor has recently declined to film anymore, because he's not a good actor, but I doubt this will help, they'll find someone worse than him.

Hairy Potter and the * (200*) - makes me hate Hairy Potter even more than the books do, he's such a loser, and now he's a bad actor too in a stupid movie series, yay !

Fantastic Four * (200*) - come on now, I'm positive they could have employed random people on the street as script writers and even actors to do better than this, seriously.

I didn't watch the second Transformers movie, but I suspect from the imdb ratings that it's even worse than the first.

Batman Begins (2005) - I don't remember anything important happening in this movie, but I do remember that is sucked pretty bad and yet got good ratings on imdb, so it's worth listing here. Note however that the Dark Knight is actually quite good, but only because of Heath Ledger as the Joker, if they had used someone else it would have sucked too, the script is still not too good.

Heath Ledger did a brilliant Jack Nicholson impersonation in "The Dark Knight".

A lot of American "comedies", usually with Ben Stiller or Jim Carrey, and too much face-pulling and shouting.

"Cloverfield" (2008) and "Welcome to the Jungle" (2007) - the worst films I've ever come to know about. Absolutely nothing (aside from film running and some human-like creatures moving in it) happens in those two films. Especially the jungle film disappointed me (times 10^23), because I thought all the time it's so bad it has to have some kind of an ending with "more to it"...well, it didn't.

After those I've seen loads of bad films, but any single one of them would win 20 Oscars and whatnot if compared to the two mentioned above.

95% of "slasher" movies, where X number of people are seen off by a wierdo in a mask/fancy-dress. Same...same...yawn...same.
Cinema offshoots of TV situation-comedies.
