Keith, I thought so as well. Maybe we both subconsciously put it there, as it was so deserving.
And another noticeable absence from the list -- Mike Myers' absymal "The Love Guru". Maybe the people putting the list together went into collective psychic shock, and forgot to tag it on.

Like I said, I think George reviewed "Catwoman" when he was in Britain, and thought it was camp fun. I found it to be some of the worst trash ever put on celluloid. Let me check the list again, 'cause I could swear "Catwoman" was on it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kelwyn" <ravena...@yahoo.com> To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, September 25, 2009 11:05:53 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [scifinoir2] Re: Rotten Tomatoes Picks Worst Movies of the Last Decade Did I miss something? I don't see "Catwoman" on this list. "Catwoman" clocked a mighty 10% fresh rating and this list starts with "Whiteout" (number 100) with a 7% fresh rating. It is all down hill from there. While this list is strictly based on the fresh rating these films accrued (or failed to), there should be a distinction between something like "Basic Instinct 2" which is high gloss trash(like "Showgirls") but watchable and "Glitter" which is utterly unwatchable. ~(no)rave! --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Keith Johnson <keithbjohn...@...> wrote: > > > > Not at all surprised to see "Catwoman" on tis list, despite some of you who > inexplicably thought it was some kind of sly tongue-in-cheek > masterpiece.(George, didn't you send a favorable review of it from England? > ) Also not surprised to see "Battlefield Earth" on there.
