Awful day! Because the godawful Emoji Movie came out! I was bashing the trailers for this movie back in 2017, saying that it was my least anticipated movie of 2017. And decided to watch it online in August 2017 in crappy movie theater quality because there's no way I'm watching it in good quality, not even on Netflix. And I despised it so much that it became my #6 worst movie at the time, behind The Last Airbender (#5), Norm of the North (#4), Disaster Movie (#3), Foodfight! (#2), and Where the Dead Go to Die (#1).
