Lindsay Lohan film so bad, it should be seen — Starz

In a relatively novel approach to movie marketing, cable TV premium film channel Starz has launched a promotion for its airing of Lindsay Lohan’s box office bomb, “I Know Who Killed Me,” by urging people to tune in not because it is good, but because the movie is so bad!

“We’re an equal opportunity channel,” said a Starz spokesman. “We will offer the best in movies, as well as the worst.” He noted the channel also has on its schedule “No Country For Old Men,” winner of the best film Oscar for 2007.

But before “No Country,” there is Starz’s June 14 airing of “I Know Who Killed Me,” which tells of twin girls stalked by a serial killer. Lohan plays both twins. The movie not only tanked at box offices ($7.5 million U.S.), it was killed by critics (only 8 pct had good things to say, according to review aggregator rottentomatoes.com).

With its promotional tongue firmly planted in its TV cheek, Starz trumpets the bad reviews in its ad promoting the movie. “A disaster that exerts a perverse fascination,” Variety wrote in its review last year, as it appears on the Starz ad.

While promoting bad movies is rare, it is not unheard of. A few years back, Starz did the same thing for 2003’s ”Gigli,” another poorly reviewed film that tanked at box offices. It starred Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.

“It did extraordinarily well” for Starz, said the spokesman, although he did not have exact viewer figures. “More people watched on Starz than probably went to the theaters to see it.”

I'm suddenly happy I don't get Starz, anymore.

That movie wasn't merely bad ... it was downright awful. I couldn't even get halfway through before changing the channel.

I haven't seen it, but I can't imagine I've missed much.

I was bored and sick this past weekend and watched it. It was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Lohan was pathetic in it. I laughed all the way through it.

I commend you for being able to sit through the entire thing. I couldn't do it.

I sat through it -letterbox version on VOD.

Awe inspiring. Almost has the feel of a drinking game movie/event. Find the stoned drunk Hohan.

Really bad is an understatement.

No way.

I liked Showgirls. The cheesy overacting was great.

I have to admit, I watched this too--I've seen worse films, I actually enjoyed it somewhat.

*ducks flying objects*

I think the main reason I liked it so much was because of all of the beautiful blue roses...they're my favorite flowers. I know they're not real, but I still like 'em.

I thought the film was just so tacky and cheesy, the fake arm was
just too much ! However, I don't think Lindsay's acting skills are to
blame, she wasn't bad at all in my opinion. She should just be more
careful of her choice in roles.
