- Nougat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28I am tired of these ***** patrons in this ***** theater.
- calvary3a1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25nothing interesting apparently...
- adolfojp, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19Butsecks?
- blapierre, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17Last time I drove to Las Vegas I got off on Zyzzyx Road and relieved myself. Nice place.
- Firemeboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14You can see the trailer here:

- hipnerd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14A friend and I saw Office Space opening weekend and laughed our asses off. I tried to take more people back the next weekend and it was already gone. It lasted less than a week in the theater. So not all movies that tank at the box office are crap.
- MontyZooma, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17You just put the image of Danny Devito in latex.
Thanks for that. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11@humpy
apparently only if he can copy and paste it from Wikipedia... - freff, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Worst movie I ever saw in a theater was Species II. I was all excited about it coming out because I walked away from the first one thinking that Natasha Henstridge was the hottest woman in the world. So of course the movie was total and complete crap. Ten minutes in, I realize that we had completely wasted our money.
Then, a miracle happened. About 40 minutes into the movie, the picture froze and a bright spot of light appeared in the middle of the screen. It got bigger, and then the entire film melted away. The movie was so bad that the projector ATE THE FILM. I don't think I've ever been so happy in a movie theater in my life. Everyone got refunds, and I ran, not walked, away from that place.
Years later, I still like to think that it was Tyler Durdan doing me a solid. - DJCult, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9They did, it was called 'Gigli'.
- humpy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Could you put those figures in terms of cents? I can't quite grasp the comparison between Zyzzyx and Pirates of the caribean. Thanks buddy.
- rewinditback, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9i saw office space with only my friends in the theater on opening night. ***** shame.
- JAPPO312, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Good for them.
- ncc1701, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9> ok....so how did 39 people rate this movie if it only made $30?
> that's only 77¢ a ticket...
Because of the two people who went to see the movie, one videotaped it while the other kept an eye out for theater employees. Everyone else who saw the movie it downloaded it through bittorrent! - Ran2004, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I don't know what you're talking about, Batman Returns use of latex made even Michelle Pfeiffer appear sexy... thus the movie was a complete success.
- Pile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I think Tom Sizemore's sex tape made more money, and that's really scary.
- Ratteler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6If Heigel shows her cans, I'll put it on my DVD shelf next to Wild Things and Embrace of the Vampire.
- mclumber1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Heh, that's funny. You drive by zyzzyx road on your way to Las Vegas on I-15 in the desert. I've always wondered what is down that road.
- SelfAbortion, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Sure you weren't watching Animal Planet in your living room??
- webguy2k, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Well, I myself had never heard of this movie, so the promotional department needs a good lashing
- jamsea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4zye-zecks
I remeber seeing how to pronounce it on TV when I was 7 during Saturday morning cartoons.
I also found out it was illegal to eat an orange in your bathtub in California. - joaob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The theater I went to was sold out.
- strabes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I've stopped there before specifically to find out what the hell could be down a road called "Zyzzx." There is nothing. It pretty much just ends in a dead end about 10 minutes from the interstate. I live in Las Vegas so I see it every time I drive to LA.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4@Cymrubeats ... at this moment when i am typing this you seem to have achieved the holy grail of Digg comments ... having an exact +1 on the top comment of a front page story ... meaning you managed to make a comment that was equally dugg up and down by dozens of ppl ... Congratulations
- wvannus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Tried to print a stacktrace. ???
- glock22ownr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"In fact his next movie, Magic, is about a lost dog or some such heartwarming *****. "
priceless LOL!! - Supernova36, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4How do you pronounce it exactly?
- joaob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Here's a little trivia.
Tom Sizemore should be known for alot more then his voice in a video game. How about True Romance, Saving Private Ryan, Get Carter, Pearl Harbor and Heat.
Good actor. He ***** his own career. - DavisTheDigger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2almost the same title as a song by stone sour
- joaob, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@Charlotte Web
I'll take a swag at it too....wait
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zyzzyx_Rd._(film) - GuyOnOatmealBox, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7ok....so how did 39 people rate this movie if it only made $30?
that's only 77¢ a ticket... - UberC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.zzmovie.com/
- xtreme777, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://s6.filemashine.com/download3/efbe17349267_jell3zs9g1dbqbod/aaf-zroad-www.thegenius.com.br.by.Articulador-.avi
Trying this now. I don't know if this is the actual movie or what language it is in but it's worth a shot. - Tazmaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1And don't forget Natural Born Killers.
- codyph55, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1that's a freakin' hillarious post, dude.
but, have you considered that the average movie ticket price at this theater is actually 83 cents?
from imbd - cheztir, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4thanks but it seems that not even duggmirror caught it. talk about going down fast.
- CiXeL, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2i wouldve gone to see it if i had known of its release and existance. you always have to take note of zyzzyx road driving to vegas. kevin and bean on kroq couldve made it into a cult classic.
- jsdratm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It should have been a straight-to-video, but it was only released it at one theater so its not exactly a huge loss of money.
- LaughingMan11, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2But you did see it, right? So does that mean you were one of the 3?
- payndz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ha, I actually first heard of this movie earlier today (before I saw this story) when I was looking at the-numbers.com's 2006 box office list. Having seen what was at the top, I decided to take a gander at the bottom as well. And there was Zyzzyx Rd.
What I couldn't quite figure out was how there could be two movies *below* it, which somehow earned NEGATIVE box office! Dog Walker got -$3019, and Crash -$825,499. Though I imagine that the fact both were released before 2006 had something to do with it. - drall.kj, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I thought of the magic word from the Text Adventure Game from way back in the day.
the Magic word was 'xyzzy'. Close but no cigar - scottcbp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You obviously have not seen Heaven's Gate
- Cymrubeats, on 10/12/2007, -16/+17When a film called 'stars & bars' was released over here, me and my mate martin went to see it, only one more person was there, it was crazy (well, it wasn't crazy at all...) it was good though, any seat (minus one), legs up on the back of the chair in front, laid back......the film wasn't even awful. Here's the clincher, we still behaved ourselves.
- Anthem26, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1so are the stars going to get their 5% from that 30$ the movie made?
- diggerphelps, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Leo Grillo's been in Hollywood for like 35 years and only has a handful of acting credits?
Most of which he produced himself. - CTSPatrick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I can guess the three paying customers! Leo Grillo, Tom Sizemore and Katherine Heigl.
- DJCult, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Here's more trivia: Tom Sizemore released porn of himself and three hookers. He promptly got trashed, impotent, and talked about slapping women. Hand of god.
- x911oz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0the trailer was probably edited by a 14 year old.
- uberbelly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0some more info here
