There's no satisfaction in picking on Ed Wood and other small-timers who didn't really have any negative effect on the state of the film industry.

My personal peeve is "Star Wars" which gets a surprising amount of respect even among this bunch of cynics. Besides being just dumb, it created the franchise mentality that has stifled originality in film-making ever since. It also derailed the science fiction genre from its cerebral roots (think 2001, The Day the Earth Stood Still, etc.) into a mishmash of medieval hokum and spaceship shootemups.

I'll be right there with you on the 'Star Wars' bandwagon (calling the acting 'wooden' is to give a 2x4 a hard time).

But given the topic of the thread, and notwithstanding the Ed Wood library, where are the 'Showgirls' or 'Driven' (that Stallone pic-yikes!) or 'Speed II'(my excuse-we were wandering the rental aisles, picked up the box,saw it had received a S&E '2 thumbs up'. "How bad can it be?" we said in unison. We then proceeded to find out.)
