Null Movies are a thing
After many weeks discussing how we grade movies at RunPee, from A+ through F-, I thought I was done.
But NOT SO FAST! There’s an even worse film than the lowly F-. How about a null score that statistically nobody has a good thing to say about it? It’s so far beyond the bottom of the barrel that said movie rusts right through it…so dense that it starts a singularity.
A Null Movie is so far past the event horizon that light doesn’t come back out.

There’s more total crap out there than you’d think. And so Jill ‘Hatchet’ Florio is back on the job!
Here are the 40 (!) films with a 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes. IGN.com says: “For Rotten Tomatoes to qualify a film for this list it has to have been reviewed at least 20 times by separate outlets.”
Here’s the current list…beware!
Some trash films landing on this list: Super Baby Geniuses 2, Jaws the Revenge (number whatever), Look Who’s Talking Now, Police Academy 4, Return to the Blue Lagoon, Gotti, National Lampoon’s Gold Diggers, Mac & Me, Highlander 2, Bolero, and Staying Alive.

Movie Watching Must Have!!
I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!

Note that the otherwise reliable John Travolta has more than one 0% film on RT, and that’s not even including BattleField: Earth. Can he get a trophy? What would an empty set trophy look like, and would two of them fit on his mantle?
I’m surprised some A Listers besides Travolta lent their efforts to these lists. Did they need to replace a roof or something?
RunPee doesn’t have a single { } set rating. Probably because I just made the category up. Offhand, we’d be hard pressed to find a film so entirely lacking that there’s nothing good to say about it, in either effects, acting, directing, cast, tone, setting, plot, climax, prettiness, soundtrack, dialogue, costumes, something.
But then, we watch mostly wide-releases. There are, granted, some awe-inspiringly bad indies out there yet to cross my screen. (Even then, they probably fall into the So Bad They Are Good realm — its own category! Think Batman & Robin.)
Movie Grades: { } set
That’s a Null Set: { }. It contains nothing. Not one good accolade. If this is your favorite film category, then I don’t understand you.
Here are all the grade rating articles we’ve pulled together so far at RunPee:

Don’t miss your favorite movie moments because you have to pee or need a snack. Use the RunPee app (Androidor iPhone) when you go to the movies. We have Peetimes for all wide release films every week, including Here, Venom: The Last Ride , Transformers One, The Wild Robot and coming soon Red One, Wiked, Gladiator II, Moana 2 and many others.
