Michael Bay

I'm starting with a winner. No one has done more in recent history to take the American cinema and kick it in the taint more than Mr. "I have a money pool in my house" Michael Bay. Long ago we could just ignore his shittiness, but because of his recent "movies" that he has shat out of the black hole that was supposed to be his soul, and the ones to come, he has proven to the studios that story and characters and depth and talent are all completely irrelevant when you can slap a well known product name on a pig turd shaped into a script and walk away with $160 million on opening weekend. Am I rambling yet?

George Lucas

This is a bit of cause and effect. His movies aren't the worst ever, just basic, like an unseasoned steak; the problem with this guy is that 1) He's been riding the same movie's fame for 32 years and 2) His movies have ruined more people's lives than cigarettes (although World of Warcraft is trying their hardest). Yes, George Lucas is basically the Alien Queen and the nerds are his face-huggers, because their entire existence is devoted to one purpose. Another annoying problem is his re-release of the original trilogy. George, you don't get to go back and fix your mistakes just because you can't come up with anything new.

Uwe Boll

If you know who this man is, you know to shoot on sight. If you don't know who he is, his name translates to "Film Cancer".

Joel Schumacher

Another no brainer. Joel just had to go ahead and turn the Batman franchise into his own neon-disco-ice show-homoerotic fantasy, and all we could do was sit and watch, helpless and nauseated.

Bryan Singer

One of two directors to destroy two comic franchises. Many people out there think that he did X-Men justice, but all us real fans know the truth and look at those others with a mix of pity and hate. 'Superman Returns', on the other hand, was a superhero movie without a plot or anything remotely entertaining. When I say "Singer has never done a good film in his whole career.", people always counter with, "But what about 'The Usual Suspects', wasn't that awesome'?". Emphatically no. That movie is basically 'Fight Club' for people with lower brain function. And what's with this Nazi fetish he has?

Brett Ratner

I place Ratner right after Singer for the purpose of saying that, however bad the first two X-Men movies were, "Bretner" was there to pick up the slack and make the franchise truly shitty. Everything in that movie was poorly done, and he thinks he did awesome; like a kid bringing home a shitty picture that you have to put on the fridge 'cuz they think it's special. I may be the only person saying this, but the Rush Hour series sucked too.

Tyler Perry

Martin Luther King is weeping in his grave because of all the shitty black cinema Tyler Perry has made. A black guy in drag? I've never seen that before. It's not like African Americans have enough c**p thrown their way by the Wayans clan. I repeat, stop doing everything, you are bringing down the respect of an entire race.

Judd Apatow

Got Ya. He's only on my s**t list in Bizzaro World. Keep going you magnificent Jew.

Barry Sonnenfeld

It's not so much that his body of work pisses me off, it's more his attitude. I was reading an interview with Barry, and they asked him about the standard s**t: Influences, who got you into movies, what did you want to be, etc. His answers were that he didn't really care for movies, and that opportunity was basically thrust at him. If it's not humility, then it's a lack of love for your work, and when an artist isn't emotionally invested in his work, it sucks.
