I actually liked Cat in the Hat. And for not wanting to be in the movie, he definitely acted like he was okay with it
That's the whole idea of acting. One separates himself/herself from the role in order to bring life into the character.
The movie was perfect
I can't believe people's reaction to that movie was obviously meant to be a satire
Since Meyers had done Austin Powers series when I saw him in Cat in the Hat he sounded like Fat Bastard throughout it.
Cat in the hat was a horrible movie. And Mike Myers made the cat in the hat character act like a asshole. Mean and loud. The character does not act like that in the books.
“We don't always get the kind of work we want, but we always have a choice of whether to do it with good grace or not.” ~sir Cristopher Lee
zejfi rip Christopher Lee true legend
He did that werewolf movie
A real life super hero...
I'm consistently forced into social situations and I have to act like I like people. Does that count?
Benji Todtenhagen its no a legal issue more like smile so they think you like them issue,its really hard I know
Lol true could i have your opinion on my channel please
I grant you an academy award for the plebes by the plebes. For those of us having to talk to people we don’t like, in a place we despise, day after day after endless day. You are the true mvp! Not meant sarcastically I promise. So many of us put our game face on and make the world operate. So yes you count! Big time. Movies are optional, most of us are doing jobs that make western civilization go. I’ll be like oprah and hand out awards all over :)
Well, there is the social contract, so one could argue that applies.
Absolutely, I find myself in the same position. Forced to spend time and Brian power on the ones I loath, it’s just peachy keen.
Mike was literally forced to play the cat? Mike you deserve a apology from Universal and all of us.
He probably had to spend a lot of time in prosthetics too
About the movie?
After the Love Guru? Not a chance.
Well, THE LOVE GURU is worse.
Lol i must be the only person who actually liked that movie
The Cat in the Hat is one of the most underrated movies of all time. I don’t care what everyone else says, it’s actually so funny.
Name one part of the movie that's actually funny and not childish
I can see why ppl were angered with it. I personally love the movie as well!! But looking at an adult point of view with children it did have a lot of sexual innuendos and had a lot of foul humour!😂 I can see why ppl were outraged but if it was released today I’m sure it wouldn’t have done so bad
theskullcrusher 6530
Son of a Beep scene
The sing-along part
Jumping in the counch
S.L.O.W
Cat fixing the counch
The cupcake scene
Amd my personal favorite
The search for Nevines (the dog)
theskullcrusher 6530 name one part of Austin powers that is funny and not childish
I thought it was complete garbage, and I wouldn't even want my children to see such a horrible film.
The Cat In The Hat always makes me LMFAO especially when it comes to the Son Of A Beep scene
Playstation 5247 are you 9 years old or something
theskullcrusher 6530 you're 12 you can't use that joke
Actually 11
theskullcrusher 6530 None of those ages because I'm XV years old, and The Cat In The Hat was one of my childhood films
theskullcrusher 6530 you don't have to be 12 to laugh at that movie, it is hilarious.
All of these cases make me fear contracts even more.
thebahooplamaster you hate accountability ? Eh, most people these days don't like to be accountable which is sad. Btw contract must always be clear , nothing must be added after the signature (i.e.: below it) because it becomes void. Also contracts must not have anything that's in conflict with human rights ,laws etc.
So I don't see why the fuck would anyone be afraid of contacts if they had a chance to read the terms before signing it
Take a lawyer with you next time you sign one than
"Abe, the President of Nickelodeon said you have to do the _Good Burger_ movie."
"I can't do that, it screws up all my arrangements."
"Sorry, Abe, you're under contract."
thebahooplamaster that's why you READ the contract before you sign it.
Better to kill 8 hours reading the whole thing then sign something at the last minute & regret it forever.
Being forced to do 'Cat in the Hat' must have been terrible. Like being forced to work in a silly costume.
Yes silly and sweaty costume with makeup that irritates the skin. Very terrible.
Factseeder and to be forced into doing one of the worst films ever
Thats because he was walking around in a silly costume lol
4hrs of just applying makeup/prosthetics every morning, would have made me super bitter. That he came across as even a bit happy, is a testament to his dedication as an actor.
Blame the studio execs, just because they wanted to make money.
The cat in the hat was my childhood. I loved it 😍
Heimer Donger I believe it gets to much hate
Heimer Donger it's true that it gets a lot of hate
but it's a bad movie
Heimer Donger really?!? when i watched it when i was 6 for the first time, it traumatized me!!!
I hated as a kid!
idk why everyone hated cat in the hat. i loved the movie
The cat in the hat had some good moments, I'll give you that.
BURNNN!!
@@luisss9669 Saying "Ooh burn" in 2019...
The Cat in the Hat was meddled by so many producers that they added in in-jokes that didn't really contribute anything. I used to love that film, though.
Same. As a kid it was great
You guys really should make a top 10 or top 5 malware analyst/reviewer youtuber. They are doing a incredible job by teaching & showing people about cyber security & other stuffs. Including myself, there's danooct1, rougeamp, TSPC, Leurak, Britec09 etc..
“Schneider”
Not just once or twice, but three times and the correct spelling is right there! Pathetic.
Ugh....he just kept saying it.....
So bad.
Yeah....every time I heard it, it was like........twitch....twitch....twitch.....STOP IT!
My last name is Schneider and I was annoyed.
The Cat and the Hat was awesome
Bad morals, lazy writing, emotionless acting, inappropriate childish humor, bad cgi, what is there not to love
theskullcrusher 6530 you said childish humor but you're 12 and of course it's childish it's a kids movie
theskullcrusher 6530 are you coping a pasting this I've seen it like 3 times you can stop you know
Guys I actually really liked it. The humor in the movie is what I liked the most, but hey to each his own. I can see why it’s not everyone’s cup of tea either.
TheFranklinHD since you commented in 2018, you will understand the following statement. Do you know dae way
i thought Edward Norton was great in the Italian Job
[Cykoid]
Everyone did. But I don’t think his heart was in it.
The Crimson fucker I think it added to the slyness of his character
"My truck! What the fuck happened to my truck!"- the one F-bomb allowed in a PG-13 rated movie. It could have gotten away with a few more, despite the official rule.
Edward Norton is a good actor but he acts the same way in all his movies...it's annoying at times
Albert Albert well he does play a lot of characters that are obnoxious assholes.
Bob Hoskins from the mario movie it was so bad they needed to drink scotch on the set
He wasn't forced into it, he signed on to the original script of a dark gritty movie not even knowing what Mario Bros was, until he went home and told his son
i thought this would have made the list, i was waiting for it.
Imagine how John Leguizamo felt doing this.
It's so bad it's good
Yeah I saw where they could barely do a car chase scene because Hoskins was too drunk. That movie idk if it had been just what it was and not what they tried to continuously make it into it woulda been fine. Take all the familiar names out and it woulda been a weird dark indie flick. I’ll settle for
It being cult status now I still like it for the insanity of it all :)
Hello love this channel
I'm glad Mike Myers was forced to do Cat in the Hat lol I used to love that movie and I think to this day its pretty good
Farah Pitcher fuck you bitch
Farah Pitcher Yeah, he was so funny in that film. To bad there isn't a sequel.
It's good but just silly to force someone to do it.
I liked Jim Carrey playing the Grinch better then Mike Myers playing the Cat in the Hat. I also hope there will be a CGI film of the Cat in the Hat soon since there’s already gonna be a new CGI animated film of the Grinch later on this year.
Martin Craw don’t you mean animated
Hahaha....both of those movies are awful, I'd probably prefer watching The Grinch over Cat In the Hat, I had forgotten about that movie.
@Joey Luckey not to mention that 2018's The Grinch was also the 3rd adaptation (and 2nd animated version) of the Dr. Seuss classic.
You mean traditional animation? I am so sick of computer generated everything.
I'm from the future, and that Grinch movie is so cool!
I love how you guys edit clips from some of the movies into the video to make a point of your explanation
none of the people involved in JAWS actually wanted back into the movie because of how the movie actually made a increase in shark deaths. People started to kill sharks because they feared them, and even the director was sad by it.
Faby07aleixo So I hope you all understand what poor portrayal of poc can do...since you understand these basic concepts so well when it comes to animals ❤
Plus, all the trouble it took for that movie to be made. They constantly had problems with the mechanical shark, which would push back certain shooting days...etc. Probably one of the most difficult movies to make, but once the finishing product turned out a good movie.
@@sportsygirl8 the shark sank to the bottom of the ocean once to lol, the electronics worked fine on land but the moment it hit the water it all went to shit
@@kevinjohnson7300 Haha...yeah, I saw that documentary a few months ago, the more they talked about the problems they had with the shark the more I felt bad, but laughed at the same time.
This drove me batshit. It's there's no "N" in Roy Scheider.
Oddly enough, they even spelled it correctly.
WatchMojo always gets names wrong. Ugh
@@stevechambers500 If by "names" you mean "everything", then yes. Yes they do.
His script that the narrator's reading from might have had an N in the name
Yes! Me too. I just came here to comment. Lol
Emily Blunt would've made Black Widow less bland and less annoying.
Peter Frank not even she could save it
I just don't see her as Black Widow.
I think she would played Black Widow perfectly as a Badass Superhero, just like her character in Looper or Edge of Tomorrow or Sicario..
But apparently fanboys think she isn’t sexy enough as Scarlett is...which is a pathetic excuse.
She is also a far better actress than scarlett..
You are awesome watchmojo make more vids plz!
Great video
I love how this narrator keeps calling him “Roy Schneider” instead of “Scheider.” Kind of pokes a hole in credibility when you can’t pronounce the name of the actor you’re featuring
I’ve never clicked so fast 😂😂👌
heather ennis but not fast enough
Lame
Puppy Love what do u mean
Hi Heather Ennis
Linda Means hi
I’m probably alone in this but I really liked Theodore Rex. I had it on vhs when it came out, I’ve actually looked for it on dvd to no avail.
The Cat In The Hat was pure comedy gold
I feel so bad for Geena Davis she is great
I liked Cutthroat Island. She is smokin in that movie.
When you see Cat In The Hat in the thumbnail, you know it's a good video 😂
i subscribed for great context so why am i not getting great context?
THIS IS A JOKE, STG, I LOVE THIS CHANNEL, I BINGE WATCHED THIS CHANNEL AND THEN BECAME OBSESSED WITH IT.
Best thumbnail I've seen in awhile
I actually really liked Gulliver’s Travels, and Emily Blunt was really good in it haha
Harrison Ford for the Star Wars Holiday Special
I know he didn't want to do the holiday Special, but was he forced or convinced? I only ask because he didn't want to do Return of the Jedi either, but he wasn't forced.
Linda Blair should’ve gotten a mention. She didn’t wanna do the sequel to “The Exorcist”. She signed on to the sequel but then read the script and tried to back out. Unfortunately she had already signed on:(
Always loved cat in the hat, went with my buddy and we smoked up before going into the theater, thought I was gonna die of laughter.
i actually love the cat in the hat movie....
Wasn't Bill Murray also forced to cameo in the Ghostbusters reboot according to the Sony email leaks.
No.
I think that issue was whether or not he had veto power over whether a 3rd Ghostbusters happened.
Alec Pridgen yes
Why would he? He's not a Writer or a Producer.
At best, he could just turn the Film down...which he did. Many times.
Goodvillain 101 He was forced to do Garfield a tale of two kitties.
Good video
Jake Weary was also forced into a movie (he didn’t wanna do *Fred The Movie* but his agent made him)
I LOVE The cat in a hat ❤️
Proves that Mike Myers is such an amazing actor that he played that role like he never had an issue 👏🏼 BRAVO 👏🏼
I still think Cat in the Hat was hilarious, and Mike Myers did such a great job of bringing him to life.
I LOVE the cat in the hat !!!
THE CAT IN THE HAT IS HILARIOUS.
I miss Geena Davis. Had the biggest crush on her when Beetlejuice came out lol
HeyMcFly She’s still alive :(
The cat in the hat is one of those guilty pleasures, I knew the movie was going to be silly and goofy, when I saw it, there was lots of innuendos, Mike Myers was on acid when he did the movie.
I did not expect Geena Davis in Cutthroat island, I loved the movie and she did great!!
These things used to happen all the time back in the day.
Spencer Tracy did not want to do Captains Courageous. He thought the character “Manuel” beneath him.
He refused,but was made to-according to his contract.
In the end : he won an Oscar. And the movie has gone on to be a real classic ‼️‼️‼️
After seeing the title of this video, I knew Whoopi Goldberg in Theodore Rex would appear.
Shes looking thick 🙃
Those guys look suspiciously like the ones from the Dinosaurs TV show.
I actually enjoyed Cat in the Hat.
Tim Allen was originally supposed to play the Cat in the Hat but he dropped out to do the second "Santa Claus" movie. Although Allen's perfectly capable of being hammy, I still imagine his take on the character would have been far less cartoonish and schticky than Myers.
I liked Theodore Rex. It was one of the only vhs tapes we had growing up lol 😂
The Cat in the Hat movie makes me happy
Channing Tatum should be happy that anyone would want to sign him for one movie, let alone a contract.
I couldn’t agree more
Tyrone Morgan I dunno…………………...I thought he was really good in Foxcatcher, if nothing else.
lmaaaaao
Finally a good list.
Omg...I completely forgot about "Theodore Rex". I remember my mother bringing that movie home from Blockbuster (sometime in '95), for my brother and I to watch. Even back THEN, I think I only managed to get through the first hour or so, and had to tap out. I actually remember just going into the basement to play Sega, while my brother watched the rest of the movie in the living room, LOL!
Excuse you, The Cat In The Hat was a great and hilarious ok
For me its more like a guilty pleasure
i loved the elektra as a kid
I loved the cat in the cat it was amazing!! He nailed that role!!
Roy Scheider did a great job in Jaws 2, despite hating being apart of the film. Though, I’m curious as to how he would have done in The Deer Hunter had he not had creative differences with the ending of the film and leaving to end up being replaced by Robert De Niro. It’s one of those what if scenarios you can only imagine had things turned out differently.
so hyped for the Channing Tatum Gambit movie
Oh yeah! I forgot about that one since I haven't heard too much on it. Have they said when to expect it? Gambit's one of my fave Xmen and so I don't want to miss out.
darkoraclegirl i heard I got pushed back idk
channing tatum has all the charm of a mma fighter
way to ruin a good thing
I would of loved to see Emily blunt in the MCU but at least she got me to love her as tempest shadow
Yep, #1 was the first one I thought of for this subject. Then #6.
I did not know about most of these. Interesting.
I still love the cat and the hat! It’s so bad that it’s good
The Italian job was great
Paradox R.N.O witch one the original ore the remake
To this day the cat in the hat makes me laugh hysterically. Such an underrated masterpiece
I actually really love Cutthroat Island. I hate that it flopped and destroyed a company. When I saw it, I actually thought it would bring back the pirate genre.
"Roy Schneider"? That kind of mispronounciation of such a legendary actor's name is unforgivable for a professional production of cinematic history.
there is no "n" in roy scheider's last name and it was annoying as hell to hear the narrator keep saying "schneider" instead of "scheider'
Saz Fretz THANK YOU. As a Scheider afficionado it burns me to hear this. Hell they even spelled it right. No, he is not Rob Schneider
Yep, was going to point it out myself, because it is so very annoying, but scrolled down to make sure I wasn't beaten to the punch. And, well, here it is! "Schnider". BS
Yup...me, too.
Or John Schneider.
That irritated me as well. I loved him in SeaQuest DSV as well.
Am I the only one who actually enjoys Elektra?
I did. But back on the day I had a massive thing with Goran Visnjic.
I love the cat in the hat
Wait what Al Pacino wasn’t legally contracted to be in the awful movie Jack and Jill seriously he actually wanted to be in that trash I find that hard to believe such an amazing actor would want to do that of his own free will and wasn’t forced to
Christopher Walked has said that the reason he did 'Mousetrap' was because in New York once he couldn't get a cab but some real life Mafia guys offered him a lift and basically treated him like one of them and took him to their club and so on. He was basically terrified that he'd say the wrong thing and wind up in the east river. So the next day he asked his agent to find him a goofy comedy, basically so wise guys wouldn't take him seriously anymore. I always assume Pacino had heard this story and decided to do the same thing.
Roy SCHEIDER! Not SCHNEIDER! Buddy, the name is right in front of you. Come on!
Can't really blame him. Though I'm impressed he still called him Roy and not Rob.
'Schneider', that's just lazy youtubing....
It might be in front of YOU but he may be reading from a script that was written with the wrong spelling-by someone who never heard of Roy 'Scheider'. They might have thought that the N should have been in the name
Are u kidding the cat in the hat was the funniest movie of my childhood
I remember being super excited for Theodore Rex when I was a kid.
you guys are the best please lime
Victor Lopez plz lemon?
Honorable Mention: Donald Trump during the 2016 Presidential elections
TheVP Even better: during Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
I'm not sure if I want that to be true or not
Even Better yet: during Fresh prince of Bel-Air
What an insightful, completely unpretentious suggestion, you edgy conformist echo chamber
I loved Cutthroat Island. It was a lot of fun.
The cat in the hat was gold.
Mike Myers in the car in the hat was fucking amazing lmao
the cat in the hat is a fucking masterpiece. i gets shat on for no reason
Poison your just a Bitch
Bad moral, lazy writing, emotionaless acting, bad cgi, wrong casting what is there not to love oh wait everything
Poison yup, a massive piece of shit and a disgrace to dr Seuss's work
smoke a couple doinks then watch it, whole new experience
Shit movie from any angle unless you're a child.
The cat in the hat needs a Oscar. New meme of 2017
it's 2018
Plus it already became a meme at the same time as Bee Movie and The Lorax.
Marco Hidalgo still needs to become a meme again
For the worst movie ever
Still waiting for "Ali G Indahouse" to be a meme.
cat in the hat was hilarious for me as a kid
I’d like to see a list like that, that in the end the movie was actually a hit. And the actor was glad ( or not) to have taken part!
I hated that Cat in the Hat movie.
Please do a video about the Norwegian singer Aurora. She is like the Björk of our generation.
passiflora incarnata I'll have to look her up, I love Björk.
passiflora incarnata Björk is of our generation. Saying she is like Björk is more accurate and less disrespectful.
LexorTheUber Björk has been in the music industry for 30 years she is not this generation. That Aurora is extremely talented though.
Michael Lewis if she still speaks to and for people today then she is still of this generation. If anything Björk has a larger audience than ever before. Oxygen has been in the business for quite a while but we don't go around saying carbon dioxide is is this generation's air. Segregation based off of age is just a meaningless way to divide people where music should be bringing people together.
Good job with 16 million
I think Bill Murray had a same situation with Ghostbusters answer the call, that was a loud "i don't want to be in this movie" scream from Murray
There's no N in Roy Scheider's name.
Emily blunt has done much better since tho

I can't believe you called Roy Scheider, "Roy Schneider" multiple times. he's not the guy who was a carrot.
the Elecktra movie is *SO* bad
REALLY hurts your credibility when you mispronounce an actor’s name repeatedly.
the cat in the hat is legendary
I loved Elektra! I was thrilled for that movie!
Haha most of these are from the 2000s
Hi Gnarwhal
Linda Means Hey, like the new profile
