What's worse?

[Patrick J]

A piece of crap movie that you KNEW was a piece of crap going in.

Or a piece of crap movie that you expected to be good?

[Taxman]

The one where you expected something, always.

[c. page]

one that you expected better of. at least with the shitty movie, you know about it going in, you had no illusions about its quality.

but one that you expect to be good has the letdown of not living up to expectation.

[RickLM]

The latter, without a doubt.

[manbearpig]

The latter. Incidently, going into movies with no expectations isn't bad at all. My friends and I saw Ghost Rider a little while back expecting it to be so God awful that we could laugh about it after, but were actually pleasantly surprised.

[FredC]

Latter. Undoubtedly the latter.

[The Roman Candle]

Second option. If you knew it would suck, you could take some Valium before going in.

[MIKE D]

Definitely the latter.

[ZombieSpeedball]

Of course the second one, because it is the one I would actually watch and have to suffer through.

[ImYrWoodbury]

The latter.
