No, really, that’s totally doesn’t make me want to punch you in the face.

When I compiled that list of the 50 worst movies I didn’t just do it because I want to steal potential revenue from the original site which posted it.

I did it because it was the only way that I could get through the list.

Today I ran a little experiment using webarchiver and downloaded “web archives” of the 50 individual pages and totaled them up:

33.4 MB

That’s how much information I would have had to download if I had opened each of those links individually.

Each page had one image file of the movie, and then about 3-4 paragraphs of text.

How did that get to be 33.4 MB? Because of all the other crap on each page, most of which is identical on each page but has to be reloaded fifty times.

I wonder how many people were interested in it, but gave up before they made it through the whole list because it was taking too long.
