3 things pissed me off about At World's End:

1, The Kraken dies offscreen. What could've been an awesome 2nd battle was completely ruined and thrown away, probably because of time or budget constraints or lazy writing

2, so many deals are made left right and center that the plot easily becomes convoluted

3, The last battle is a 1v1 instead of a massive pirate ship battle royale which, with every ship lined up seemed like it was heading towards

No, but being Olympians they'd know its fine in moderation. Like they're not eating McD's all day every day, but a sausage n'egger every now and then is fine paired with their exercise and balanced diet. Like a cheat meal or whatever.

IMO the issue is the speed gimmick. While it seems cool, there's only been a handful of actual good Sonic games. It's kind of limiting. Take it away and suddenly you've pissed off the fanbase.

Whereas Mario has the freedom to do whatever because there isn't a gimmick tied to him that HAS to be in every single game. So he's more versatile, and so are the games, and they're more fun because of it.

(redneck trashy theme for this one)

At a park. Pick-up trucks with Igloo coolers opened on the tailgate were the bar. Everything was served in red solo cups BEFORE the wedding. Everyone got drunk. The bride walked down the aisle drinking from a red solo cup instead of holding a bouquet. It was essentially a tailgate party with a preacher invited.

-----

Groom beat the shit out of the father-in-law. Father in law went to bathroom and died. Groom shot himself in the parking lot. This was 25 years ago in Chicago. Crazy wedding.

-----

My dad's 2nd marriage. Along the banks of a river with trailer homes in the background. He's wearing a tuxedo T-shirt and rainbow mirror sunglasses. The ceremony took place at noon: he'd been drinking since 5am. I had to walk one of the bridesmaids down a flight of steps as she was legally blind, and someone asked me if I was going to bang her.

-----
Camo print wedding dress that was borderline see-through. Walked down the aisle to the Scooby-Doo theme. No, nobody knows why they chose that song, including the couple themselves. They divorced a few months later after they both stopped cleaning the house in an act of defiance against one another.

-----

A wedding on the beach behind Hooters. The officiant stood next to a trash bin. As if it was planned, the trash collector pulled up during the vows. Did he wait to change the bag? Absolutely not. Children at the wedding swarmed the couple like flies around the trash can just after the kiss, stepping all over her dress. She bent over to adjust her sandal and a pack of Marlboro reds fell out of the bust along with her right breast. It felt like we were rubbernecking instead of witnessing a marriage.

-----
I dont even know where to begin...Ceremony was comprised of immediate family then followed by a reception with all guests in a relatively nice hotel banquet hall. An hour in at 7pm the open bar was completely closed down because MULTIPLE guests were throwing up in the bathroom sinks causing flooding.

The groom was so wasted even before the ceremony but was blackout by the time of the reception. During the first dance, he kept his hands in his cargo pant khakis the entire time and ate dinner sitting on the floor in a corner of the hall while the bride sat at the head table alone. About two hours in, the groom randomly left and slept at their house while the bride stayed in the newlywed suite by herself. They are now separated as you may have assumed by this point.

-----

I was actually the bartender but it was a hoot. The wedding was outside and it stormed violently. Groom was hammered pre-wedding. Hit on all the bartenders. Then the DJ got hammered, made lewd comments to women on the microphone. Then basically everyone was hammered, knocked over the wedding cake which also happened to be a table with many candles, so the place caught on fire. Good times. Often wonder how that marriage worked out.

-----
Wedding was in a suburban driveway. The maid of honor stole the bouquet from someones garden and the best man proudly announced he had shoplifted the rings. The groom wore a button-down shirt that said fuck off in fancy lettering. The bride stopped in the middle of the vows to tell her mother to get that fucking kid out of here. It was her second kid by the previous bloke.

-----

I had one of my friends from high school get married in a trashy way. His fianc at the time invited him to lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings. She had also invited the whole family (they were in on it), and once my friend showed up he found out it was a surprises wedding (just like you would do a surprise birthday party.)

The even trashier part is they didn't like reserve the restaurant or anything so in his wedding photos (standing in front of the bathrooms by the way) you can see complete strangers coming out of the bathrooms.

-----
I went to a wedding that had a Matrix theme. The groomsmen all wore floor-length leather jackets and tiny sunglasses. The MC made a slideshow of images from the movie with the groomsmens faces badly photoshopped on. They insisted on calling each other Neo and "Morpheous while high-fiving each other. It was painful.

-----

Ceremony was in a park - not booked or decorated, just showed up and found a spot. The reception was at a scout hall. No decorations again, and for catering the bride's family went through Red Rooster drive-thru and got a bunch of whole chickens and chips. Like, 5 different cars went through one after the other and ordered, they didn't even pre-order. Groom and all his friends were high as kites and the only reason the bride wasn't is that she announced she was knocked up. The Groom and his mates bought their dirt bikes and after eating went out and rode them around the hall. Was so loud and muddy.

-----

I went to a wedding in a funeral home once. Drove by it three times before realizing that is was in fact the correct address for the venue. Reception and ceremony were there.. completely dry wedding too.

-----

A family member of mines SECOND wedding reception was held inside an indoor gun range. The groom was obviously an avid hunter because the entire wedding party was wearing camouflage suits. The bonus was the "open bar" consisting of two kegs of Coors light sitting in trash cans filled with ice.

The officiant begins the ceremony, and the groom interrupts the officiant, grabs a beer from the back side of the arbor, cracks it open, and announces, 'I CANT DO THIS SOBER!' He takes a big swig and then hands it off to the best man."
"A few other times throughout the short ceremony, he snapped his fingers in the direction of the best man (who unsuccessfully tried to pass the beer down to the last guy in line to keep it away from the groom) so he could take another drink. When the ceremony ended and we began to make our way inside for the cocktail hour, the shop secretary said to me, 'Did you see that too or am I in a bad dream right now?' I replied that this was real life. The bride went in the back door and straight across the banquet hall and out the front door without saying a word. She got in her car and left. The bridesmaids went after her. The groom defended himself, saying, 'It was just a joke, I thought shed laugh!' The bridesmaids went after her (she just went back to their home, about a mile away), and they convinced her to come back. She was threatening to shred their marriage license instead of filing it. I dont blame her one bit! Six years later, they are married and doing well, but yowza, what a way to start your marriage!

-----

I went to sit at the table, hoping that there would be some food served soon, because I was so hungry I thought I'd faint. There were the dances, and it went on for hours. We were there at 7 p.m., and by 10 p.m., there was still no food being served. Everyone started to complain about it, and my mom went to ask her sister (the bride) if the food would be served soon, since many people were starving at that point. That's when we found out that the bride actually had a buffet during the photo shoot where only she, the groom, and a few select guests ate, so they decided to postpone the dinner at the restaurant. My mom was upset that she didn't announce that to the other guests so they could have had some food as well instead of waiting for the reception.

-----

When it was time for the bouquet toss, the bride insisted that I participate. I didnt want to make any drama, so I took a position on the outskirts of the group. When she was cued to toss the bouquet, she spun to face the group, saw me, wound up her arms like a baseball pitcher, and fired those flowers straight at my gut. I twisted, but it was shock, not athletic reflexes. I moved, and the bouquet bounced off of me. It caromed sort of toward the next woman, who jumped backward. Seconds later, it was lying on the ground in the center of an empty circle of women who didnt want it. The bride was furious.

-----

A friend of mine was the bridesmaid, so I crashed the wedding and sat in the back. When the preacher said, 'If anyone has any reason why this man and this woman ... speak now or forever hold your peace, THE BRIDE'S EX STOOD UP AND PROFESSED HIS UNDYING LOVE AND ASKED HER TO MARRY HIM INSTEAD! The look on the bride's face was priceless. The fact that her father, the bride, and the groom all restrained themselves from pummeling the guy was admirable.

-----

A Royal Marine asked me to sing at a wedding. One of his company was the groom. The plan was that I would start singing when the bride entered the church. I was to be out of sight the whole time standing in a side porch. I was given a walkie-talkie headset so that I could get the signal for when she arrived. Neil, the Royal Marine, was standing with me. Neil had no time for the bride. Me neither. The pair of us in the porch, he reminded me that none of the groom's friends wanted them to get married. I agreed, saying, 'Who would want to marry her, seriously? She's a fantasist..."
"The vicar hurried out into the porch and shushed me. The sound technician had messed up and fed my walkie-talkie headset through the pulpit microphone channel. Every word I'd said had come loud and clear out of speakers above the altar.

From another website just cause I feel like posting more:

Wedding photographer here. Easily the worst was when the father of the groom, apparently entirely sober, gave a 10-minute toast that devolved into openly complaining that his son got to have sex with the bride and he didn't. And this wasn't a mistimed joke about how pretty she was; this was a full-on lament about growing old and how women didn't find him attractive anymore, and that all he wanted was to take his daughter-in-law to bed.

-----

Not my story but my friend's, and actually it was at her cousin's wedding reception. When the guests sat down at the tables, everyone had an envelope on a plate with pictures of the bride in...ahem...a compromising situation with (I think) the best man. The bride cheated on the groom both when they were dating and when they were engaged, which he found out shortly before their wedding. The groom had no mercy and I respect that."

-----

My mother remarried three years ago to a Fire Chief of a major city. During the wedding ceremony, after the vows and right before my new stepfather was about to speak, one of my worst fears as a parent happened. I had just quietly told my daughter of five at the time to sit in her chair correctly (she was sitting on her knees in the chair trying to see amongst the crowd of tables). As she was transitioning to sit on her butt, she missed her hand placement on the table, slipped, and fell to the floor with the fork that she was eating cake with lodging directly into the back of her scalp."
"This caused a huge commotion, she started screaming, and everyone at the wedding party came rushing over to my daughter (most were first responders, EMS or police) they all just started working immediately. The fork cut enough into her head that she needed staples. We completely ruined the last half of my mother's wedding rushing my daughter to the hospital. Extremely awkward.

-----

The groom ran full sprint around the wedding reception hall double fisting bottles of beer. He slipped on the ground and dislocated both of his hips. His father popped them both back in while the groom screamed through tears (while still clutching the beers)."

-----

I used to work as a banquet server at a VERY expensive banquet center. $100k weddings were the norm. One wedding I was working, stepmom of the groom called the bride a slut, so mother of the bride punched stepmom of the groom in the face."
"Stepbrother of the groom tried to get in on the action, and we ended up having to kick out stepmom and stepbrother and make sure they didn't sneak back into to the reception for the rest of the night. Some other relatives of the stepmom and stepbrother ended up leaving too, but the rest of the wedding reception partied on without any further drama, thankfully!

-----

My mother, in the middle of the reception, proceeded to tell people I married the wrong person and named who I should have married and yes, they were a guest.

-----

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding that was held in a barn during the summer. As the vows were being said, a bird flew into one of the fans above us and then fell on the ground right in front of us. Its wing fell right next to it. The children in the audience screamed and the bridesmaids screamed but the bride and groom had no idea what happened. I think it was a bad omen because the couple is now divorced.

-----

The bride's older brother gave a speech where he talked about how he changed her diaper when she was a baby. He then told the groom that because of this, he (the brother) 'saw her first.

-----

I was a photographer at a gorgeous, high-dollar wedding. Bride and groom were both young and extremely attractive. But during the reception, the groom got increasingly drunk and at one point he and his best man were absolutely GRINDING on the dance floor their faces barely an inch apart, looking like they were about to kiss, and not even trying to hide it."
"I happened to be talking to the bride when she spotted it, and just giggled, saying, 'Gosh, those two are SO SILLY together!' Less than two months later, she called to say she'd no longer need an album and wondering if I'd give her a partial refund. Turns out she caught the groom and the best man having sex in their bed. Not so silly, after all!"

-----

Priest was asking the groom if his new bride and his mother (who was seated in the first row) were both drowning in a river and he could only save one, who would he save? And he (priest) refused to proceed with the ceremony until a choice was made.

-----

I was a wedding DJ for many years. The two wildest things I have seen are: 1. The parents of the bride were divorced and the father was at the wedding with his significantly younger girlfriend. It was obvious that no one there really approved of her. During the reception, people were giving toasts to the new couple. The father then begins to give his toast, at which time he gets on one knee and proposes to his girlfriend in front of everyone with mic in handAT HIS DAUGHTER'S WEDDING. All of this was to the shock and awe of all attendees. It was dead quiet in the roomexcept for the ecstatic new fianc."

2. I was at a wedding where the bride was eight and a half months pregnant. She was 18 and they waited to get married until she graduated high school. The best man at the wedding was roommates with the groom and during his toast, he decided to give a long and drawn-out toast about quizzing the groom to see if shes the one. The punchline to this whole story was that the best man jokes that he slept with the bride to test her out. Dead silence in the room as no one found it funny."

-----

My relative had a cow-themed wedding at a chicken restaurant. The bridesmaids dressed in black, bride in white...not bad but the giant tiered cake had dozens of ceramic cows all over it. Two guests dressed up as a cow (one with the head and one with the back) and danced for the bride and groom. But the worst part a groomsman got really drunk before the reception and ended up vomiting ALL over the head table, so the wait staff had to get the entire table clean and reset quickly. That groomsman laid on the restroom floor the rest of the reception. The good news? The bride and groom are still happily married over 30 years later. They are a great couple!"

Day of wedding, the entire bridal party is smashed before they walk in. Ended up having to throw up a extra table so they could set their beers and liquor bottle down before the introductions. Usually the older people leave before it gets dark, the grinding was so awkward they left the second dancing started. The part where the best man takes off the brides garder belt is always weird to me, but this one had a definite "we've f****d before" vibe.

They only got worse, to the point the brides side was embarrassed. They were acting crazy too but the grooms side was violent. Plenty of "almost" fights, thankfully we always have a cop on duty so he stopped them before I had to clean up blood.

Bride and groom were never near each other all night. I'm pretty sure someone f****d in my f*****g storage room.

It barely lasted a year, and I think they only held it together that long because of the money put into it.

Bonus story: Bride and groom were awesome, but their families kept trying to out spend the other in some "my d**k/wallet is bigger than yours" game. They got into a tipping battle over me. Left that night almost $300 richer. F**k yeah.

-----

The guest list was over 300 people. The venue was an amazing barn in the middle of nowhere, minimal electrical power, no running water in the barn. There are multiple homes on the property that can be rented out. They rented the entire property for a week, and it was covered in campers, trailers, etc.

The whole thing was a shitshow from planning through the reception. The live band didn't have enough power and we ended up powering them from one of the RV's generators (lesson learned here: let the venue talk to the band, don't get in the middle)
There was no seating chart, and there were about 6 different caterers running food stations around the barn.

Somehow a rumor got started that the wedding was at 5pm, it was actually at 4pm. So critical guests were arriving very late to the ceremony.

On this crazy large property, there ceremony site was up a steep hill, so a shuttle van had been rented and was driving guests up the hill, 15 at a time.

By the time the ceremony was ready to start, the bride was drunk, the brides dad was drunk, and the groom was drunk.

There was a champagne station at the ceremony site, which was completely drained before the last of the guests were arriving at the top of the hill. The guests were pissed.

The rest of the night....went how it went. Water was poured from gallon jugs with spigots. The bar ran out of most of the booze with a couple of hours to go. There was no propane in the heaters for the patio (this was in late fall; it was cold).

I left at around 11pm (having arrived that day around 8am).

I know the bride and groom had a stay-cation honey moon planned, so I didn't expect to see my boss at work for a few weeks (he's often traveling for work anyways). What I heard later from a coworker who helped at the wedding was that the marriage didn't even last the night.

The groom was found (by the father of the bride) in the middle of f*****g one of the bridesmaids, that night, in the honeymoon/party house. The kicker is: more than half the bridesmaids were the brides sisters, so the odds are pretty good that he slept with one of them.

Upon hearing all this, I kept my damn mouth shut. I haven't told a single person (save my husband, who was my assistant at the wedding). I had tried friending the bride on Facebook because I reeeeeally wanted to see the pictures (the photographer was incredible), but she hasn't accepted yet. I have not seen her at work since the wedding (she used to visit frequently), and my boss hasn't ever worn a wedding ring.

Video guy here. The groom and his groomsmen were doing lines in the bathroom while the photographer and I were trying to round the wedding party up. They were already SMASHED from the limo ride to the reception venue. That dude is a lawyer and had a 1 year old baby at the time.

-----
I worked the front desk at a smallish Best Western. The bride's mother comes in early to coordinate with our banquet supervisor and leaves her purse in the banquet rooms after being specifically told not to leave it unattended because she had all the money for the various tips in it. Yes, it got stolen.

Limo pulls up out front and bride rushes in and interrupts the guest I"m currently with and says "I need the key to my room now. The groom is drunk." Apparently, her brothers, who were groomsmen, decided to start doing shots with the groom at the church during pictures. He was passed out before the reception even started. Bride gets keys and 15 minutes later I see groomsmen traipsing into our breakfast area and coming out with trays of full coffee cups.

I mentioned to our banquet coordinator that the bride's dress was lovely. She said yes, apparently it was one the bride had purchased 2 years ago for her wedding to someone else that didn't happen. Reception was supposed to start at 7:00 p.m. Bride finally walks into her wedding reception at 7:30 p.m. by herself. By herself. She did get a round of applause, though. Later on that evening, I had been delivering something to another guest and come back to the front lobby to a commotion. Come to find out, the bride and groom had gotten into an argument right out front and her brothers (aka groomsmen) had monkey piled on him to beat the c**p out of him. Bride is in tears at this point and the groom's daughter, who was 8ish was traumatized.

11:00 p.m. comes and it's time for me to go home. Right as I'm leaving, I get a call from a guest who says he can hear shouting. This guest is on the second floor of a 2-story property. I take a walk down his hallway and hear nothing. Go downstairs, and low and behold, there's a commotion coming from the bride and groom's room. Now, the guest who heard this was on the floor above them and 2 rooms over. The bride answered my knock on the door with puffy eyes and tear stained face, having changed into shorts and a Mickey Mouse T-shirt. I said "I know you've had a rough night, but I do need to ask you to keep it down just a bit." She responds, "That's okay. I've called my mother. She's coming to get me."

From Bored Panda:

Bride warned groom several dozen times -- in my presence -- if he smashed the cake in her face they would have issues. Using phrases like "I am *not* kidding" or "I am *completely* serious."

Groom was a good 'ol boy type. His friends found out about his bride's one stipulation about the wedding. She was flexible on a lot of other things, but no f*****g cake-smashing. They started making whip-cracking sounds, teasing him that he was "whipped" and needed to Put His Foot Down And Show Her Who's Boss.

Yeah, he smashed the cake in her face.

She had it annulled.

-----

Minister friend did a wedding once where in the vows the woman wouldn't say "for richer or poorer". Just kept saying "for richer or richer". And she wasn't joking. They didn't last long.

-----

The groom grabbed the mic after the best man's toast and wished everyone a great night and a nice meal. That's when s**t hit the fan. After his well wishes, he asked for the attention of his best man and bride. He told them that he knew they were having sex behind his back for the entirety of the engagement, and that he would be filing for an annulment on Monday. He thanked everyone for coming, and apologized to the father of the bride saying " I would have called it off weeks ago, but I figured you would be way more pissed at your little princess when you couldn't get out of the bill for the reception." He turned to his wife and said "F*** Y**", then turned to his best friend and said, "From what I overheard--my d**k is still bigger than yours" Mic dropped---groom out the door---absolute chaos. Me and my fellow bartender looked on in amazement. We had to go into the kitchen to laugh and high-five. Edit---I noticed the comments about hearing this kind of story or myth before. This story is 100% true. Happened in Cleveland, Ohio--2008.

-----

Bride and groom both lovely people, but the groom's mother... at the reception she got so drunk that she leaned over in her chair and just puked on the floor. She spent the next 2 hours wailing and crying because she (told everybody) thought her son deserved better. As I was packing equipment back into my car, I spotted MIL in the bushes, dress around her head, legs in the air and a group of people trying to get her out. I later found out that she s**t herself at a later point in the evening - and the bride spent time cleaning her up. Didn't think the marriage would survive with a toxic MIL like that around. Then I saw on social media that the bride and groom moved overseas, far away from their families!

-----

Not a wedding planner, however I worked as a banquet server for an event center that hosted wedding receptions.
Bride was hammered drunk and very upset with her husband because he was not drinking. This led to her telling every person at the reception, "he's just no fun anymore."
15 min later she is standing in a hallway sucking face with one of the groomsmen. Husband walked out and the entire party collectively flipped s**t.
They left half a keg though an me any coworkers got smashed. So that was cool.

-----

Had a wedding I coordinated where the bride literally went from this sweet, kind and very fun person, to a meltdown-laden bridezilla. It was bad. I knew it wasn't going last the moment she arrived at the venue. She tore up the guest list, and was furious at the groom because his family, most of them either elderly and disabled, weren't at the ceremony yet (they were 5 minutes late, and parking was awful). So she decided to start the ceremony even though they weren't there yet. The groom had zero say as he was a really quiet guy. During the bridal procession down the aisle, people kept arriving and having to walk down the aisle to get to their seats. She insulted each member of his family as they would enter the venue. Then, during the actual vows, the groom was so terrified, he literally couldn't look at her. Instead, he did his vows while looking at the minister. She grabbed his face mid-vows, pointed his face to hers, then said "Do them over...NOW!". Probably the most cringe-worthy moment I've ever seen in my entire career. The guests tried to laugh it off, but we all felt bad for him. The icing on the cake was during the toast. She decided to talk about his mom...then passive-aggressively insult her... then completely insult the crowd... then her new husband (yes, she was sober). After the dinner, about 75% of the guests just up and left. There was so much more than happend (and if there is enough interest, I'll share more), but it was a total s**t show. I knew, this one wouldn't last. And it didn't. They divorced a few weeks later. How do I know? She stiffed me on payment and kept blaming her now-ex-husband for not having any money and everything that went wrong in their marriage.

-----

When the sister of the bride said 'I'll make this speech as short as the engagement'.

-----

The bride had been a total pain in the a*s while planning her wedding. She wanted the most lavish food, the best alcohol package, the most over-the-top decor. Fine, we can make your venue look like something Donald Trump might describe as 'a little too gilded', whatever. After that was done, she demanded mirrors, and disco balls, and anything else reflective we could cram into the space. Then, she demanded to interview all the wedding officiants, because she wanted a 'really hot guy' to perform the ceremony. She complained that everyone she saw was, 'like middle aged or something', and insisted we had to find her someone that looked like Chris Evans. Because she wanted everyone in her pictures to be hot. Day of the wedding, she asked me to procure as many lions as I could get my hands on, and have them sitting around the head table. Cause what you really need at an open bar are a bunch of apex predators. When informed she could not have lions at her reception, she dissolved into tears, complaining about her crappy little wedding (of 300 guests, cases of Cristal, and f*****g Lobster tail as the main), and how her little sister always got everything better than she did. We all knew, that this was not about a marriage, and was all about a party. When your wedding is just about out-doing someone else's reception, there's no hope for your relationship. All the way through this mess, the groom had just rolled his eyes, and let his bride spend like a drunken sailor on leave. He never objected to any of her insane requests. Just let her have whatever she wanted. However, he didn't even bother to come up to the suite while she was having a meltdown over the lions, because, "I'm too drunk to deal with this, and also I don't want to have to hear her scream about seeing the goddamn dress." Bride was back a year later with a friend to help plan that wedding, sans ring.

*scoffs* part V is great because it has some of the best characters of the franchise.

Ethel, Violet, Damon, Anita, Reggie and Pam are all top tier characters of the franchise.

Totally agree. They save the movie IMO from being the worst (I seriously don't know how anything could top JGTH as the worst)

Upon careful consideration, I think Part 7 is the worst of the 8 original Paramount movies. Even worse than Part 5 which doesn't even have Jason.



Also totally agree. I feel like 7 is labeled as one of the better ones because of Kane Hodder (who's amazing, don't get me wrong) but my god the first half of that movie is such a slog to sit through because nobody keeps it entertaining. In every other movie, there's at least one character who makes it fun until the body count really starts going.
