6. Absolutely Anything: The Moment Where Obscene Levels Of Talent Were Wasted
Seriously, it should be punishable on the same level as a war crime. I'm not talking about the casting of Simon Pegg in the lead here, as the guy given godlike powers by aliens as an experiment: Pegg is infamous for having the forward planning of a depressed lemming when it comes to selecting roles. No, Absolutely Anything is notable for two things: for being a sackful of muddy crap, and for being a worthless showcase for some true legends of screen comedy. Incredibly, this is the comic pedigree of this movie: It's the tragic Robin Williams' last ever film. It's the first film that Terry Life Of Brian Jones has written and directed in twenty years. It features all five of the surviving Monty Python team: the first time this kind of unofficial Python reunion has happened since the troupe split. This is such a tragic waste of godlike comic talent, in such a nothing film. I dont know how else to say it: Absolutely Anything is a movie that makes you feel cold and sad all over.
