If you notice, part of their criteria in choosing what is bad is a matter of scale. The reason Steven Seagal doesn't make the lists is because he does B-grade action movies that no one expects to have high quality acting, great scripts, lots of potential, etc. However, the reason Stallone makes their list is because he is still a Big Name Draw, an actor that can draw people to a movie on name alone. That's the reason that Catwoman and Alexander have the highest number of nominations. Catwoman has Halle Berry (Oscar winner plus name draw) and Sharon Stone (not as big a draw anymore, but still up there a ways), so you would expect it to be at least mediocre (it wasn't, not by a long shot). Alexander has a strong cast, and an ordinarily strong director in Oliver Stone. It was the kind of movie that you would expect to be at least decent, so when it tanked it got 6 nominations. That's why movies like Seed of Chucky didn't make the list; they just don't have that "hype factor" to have such a big drop to get their notice.
Thanks for clearing that up.

I actually enjoyed Rambo III...

But Driven, Stop: Or my mom will shoot and...there's a special place in my heart for this film "Over The top" are truly amongst the worst films I've ever seen. So you may have a point.

Sir Degrader, sometimes its hard to tell whether you're being serious
