A new month means a new @yourtop3 contest! This time we're picking our top 3 Least Favorite Movies!
Before I get started though, I wanted to mention that this is the first time I've created a Steem post with the @SteemPeak front end, and I have to say I really like it! I've been using it for commenting, voting and such since Steemit got taken over by Justin Sun's bot army buggy, and so far it's worked well. Over the coming weeks I'm planning to try other front ends too, like @esteemapp - there are so many awesomesauce apps on the blockchain, I figure why not give 'em a try!
Now without further ado, here are....
Least Favorite Movies
Nomination 1 - The Last Airbender
REASON
Oh man, I had such high hopes for this movie! The younger two kids & I watched the entire Avatar series on Nickelodeon at least once, and many episodes a bazillion times. Hubby watched the large majority of it too - only the eldest hadn't really seen it, but when we were picking a family movie night back in 2010, we all agreed it would be perfect. Perfectly awful was more like it - I'll spare you the details (especially since there are so many people online who've already covered it, but suffice to say the eldest was the only one who liked it. Poor thing had to listen to the rest of us rant about it on the long car ride home!
Nomination 2 - Land of the Lost
REASON
Yep, this was another family movie night gone horribly wrong. Since hubby and I grew up in the 60s & 70s, needless to say Sid & Marty Krofft were big faves of ours. While the trailer made it obvious they weren't planning to stick to the source material, the PG-13 rating didn't fully prepare us for how wildly inappropriate and gross certain scenes were. I do have to admit that now that some time has passed, and I've re-watched bits & pieces of it here and there, I can appreciate.... nah, honestly the fact that this movie even exists makes me want to hate Will Ferrell. However, lucky for Will I'm willing to forgive him, since he's also the reason why Buddy the Elf exists.
Nomination 3 - The Banana Splits Movie
REASON
Speaking of Sid & Marty, I can't believe they actually gave the green light to this horror adaptation of one of my ALL time favorite shows growing up. In fact, I couldn't even bring myself to look up the trailer for it - once was enough! I don't use this word often, but I truly hate that they messed with this beautiful bit of childhood innocence in such a nasty way. And I'm a big fan of horror movies generally, but this is horrible on an entirely different level.
There are my choices and I made the contest deadline with almost a whole half hour left! One last thing - a big thank you to the awesomesauce peeps behind this monthly crypto contest (now with the wicked awesomesauce addition of a Champions League!) @plantstoplanks, @nickyhavey, @foxyspirit, and @cheese4ead - you guys and gals ROCK!

I am with you on this! Avatar was on my list as well. The series is such a beautiful series and I still watch it every now and then when I need a pick me up. The movie was a total disaster and disappointment. A spear to my heart.
Land of the Lost was so freaking annoying! I think Will Ferrell is just one actor I can't stand. Along with Adam Sandler, they kind of go hand in hand. The only one movie I liked from Adam was.... trying to jog my memory here... where he plays golf but was actually a hockey player...Can't remember and don't care to look for it lol.
Woohoo! You made it! Glad you found the time to join us again this round in the midst of all the craziness in Steemworld and real life. Seems your first pick is a common one. I have not seen it, but given that a few people also chose that one it is staying off my list for sure. Will Ferrell is hit or miss for me, as well. Some of his stuff is hilarious (I'm partial to Blades of Glory for some reason), but other stuff falls flat. This one seems pretty ridiculous. Can't say I had the unfortunate experience of watching the Banana Splits either. Such a bummer when movies taint the memories of the great books or shows that spawned them. Good luck in the polls!
Quite a challenge this, there are so many BAD movies!
Steempeak is great.
from the sound of your review these are three movies I missed seeing and glad that I did ;)
The only movie I watched of the three was your second pick, Land Of The Lost. I don't remember much about other then I didn't like it :)
Good luck in the Dpolls.

Q
Well look who managed to sneak in at the last minute, Indiana Jones style! Great to see you made it Queen of the Juju!
I think with the amount of funny movies Will Ferrell has been involved with, he's allowed a duff one hey! Sucks when movie directors butcher your favourite TV shows, really makes one bitter - Banana Splits? More like the Banana Sh_ts! Or is that a separate condition from eating "off bananas"? 🤔😃
Please send your eldest son my well wishes - that must NOT have been a fun ride back with the "rant squad" haha!
Thanks for entering and good luck with the contest!

Hey @traciyork
Great post. They all truly sound terrible. It is always especially disappointing when a previous favourite gets mistreated and abused by an asshole with ideas! Rian Johnson!!!!
I like Will Ferrel too. He normally carries the movies he is in with his nutty humour. Unfortunately, of late his movie choices have been a bit shit!!
As always, good luck. Top of the Q1 league at the mo!! :)
