* I may be the only one who thinks so, but Film Brain's rant at the end of ''[[Seven Pounds]]'' deserves a spot on this list:
{{quote| "Now many people found this movie [[Glurge|touching]]. [[Tranquil Fury|I didn't.]] [[Berserk Button|It struck a nerve.]] It's bad enough that the film is severely boring because [[Foregone Conclusion|it's obvious what is going on.]] It's bad enough that [[Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy|the movie is so morose and miserable.]] It's bad enough that it's [[True Art Is Angsty|pretentious tosh.]] It's bad enough that [[Will Smith]] himself is desperately [[Oscar Bait|Oscar Baiting]] by [[Tom Hanks Syndrome|dialing back his signature charm to trace levels]] and [[Wangst|acting as mopey as possible.]] No, my real issue is with the film's message. Tim's sacrifice at the end of the movie is celebrated and he's made a [[Martyr Without a Cause|martyr]]. I'm sorry, but I find that [[Unfortunate Implications|profoundly worrying]]. [[Warped Aesop|The movie is literally saying that suicide is okay as long as you donate your organs. What the]] ''[[Precision F-Strike|fuck]]'' [[Warped Aesop|kind of message is that?]]}}
** The opening deserves a mention too:
{{quote| Hello and welcome to Bad Movie Beatdown, the controversial episode. Yep, it's that time of the series again, where once again I show that I have an opinion of my own.}}
** Especially since, according to [http://blip.tv/file/3975694 his commentary], he was afraid it would be "[[Equilibrium]] [[Internet Backdraft|times ten]]," and ''still'' didn't hold back.
** And in the commentary, he reveals that someone in his family committed suicide, so doing the review was very hard for him and he worried he was too close to the material to make it a good video, on top of his fear of the film's fans. Doing the commentary also allows him to let out the rage he was holding back on during filming, and you can hear genuine anger as he brings up how Will Smith's character has had a better life than him and could do so much more than save seven people if he lived, finishing with "He has NO RIGHT!"
