Which is the worst?

[Signa]

So, I was just in my living room with the rest of my family and they were watching some shitty Hillary Duff film (I'm guessing its Material Girls, but I don't really care). Anyway, as the film is going on, I hear Duff's "Fly" start playing in the sound track with her still on screen, but she's not singing it or anything. So what I realized I was seeing was Duff's acting and singing at the same time as two separate instances. To me, this just looks really bad for a film, and shows a lack of intelligent soundtrack planning. I remember feeling the same with Daredevil and two Evenesence songs were in an otherwise random song selection. It also bothered me in Disney's Tarzan when Phil Collens did the whole soundtrack.

So I ask the rest of you, which is the worst thing you can do in a movie's soundrack?

Naw, I wanna go back. Waaaay back. Back into time.


Worst: Actor singing on soundtrack.

Worst track ever in this style: Patrick Swayze - She's Like the Wind from Dirty Dancing

ive got no problem with a character singing a song in the sound track. there are plenty of movies that the characters are singers. that doesnt make the song worth hearing or watching being sung, but the act of it isnt lame. what bothers me about the above instances is that they are LAME. i dont think there is any possible way any of them can be executed properly that you can say afterwards "that turned out well." when a character sings, it can still work. look at most Disney movies.

Family guy has earned the right to be allowed to break the boundries for what's acceptable and what's not :)

[Signa]

family guy hardly has anything to do with this tread. sure, they made a few musicals, but that doesnt count as the lame acts listed above.

edit: why was this on recent posts? the last post was a month ago?
