The classic horror movie John Carpenter hates with a passion: “Doesn’t rise above its cheapness”
Technically, it’s his fault.

They almost did, but they didn’t.
Mel Gibson made a movie with Bono and absolutely hated it: “As boring as a dog’s ass”
That’s one way of putting it.
The co-star Sean Connery hated every second of working with: “It was like the school playground”
He even tried to sabotage their career.

A waste of everyone’s time.
