    Larry David's and Jerry Seinfeld's sitcom "Seinfeld" debuted in 1989, and it stood as an antidote to the decade of bland, moral-forward family sitcoms from the decade that just preceded it. The central gag of "Seinfeld" was that the characters were so unbearably shallow and petty that they were incapable of absorbing morals. The show was to feature no sentimentality, no hugs, and no learning.

    Francis Lawrence's 2005 demonic thriller "Constantine" wasn't terribly well-reviewed when it first came out. Some critics liked the film's visuals, and many praised Peter Stormare's performance as Satan, but just as many critics (including Jack Matthews in the New York Daily News) lambasted the film for being a painfully traditional action/murder fantasy hooey.

    At the end of "Severance" season 2, Lumon office wonk Mark S. (Adam Scott) finally realizes that a project he has been working on — a mysterious number-crunching assignment — is nearing completion. Mark doesn't know what that means, really.

    Jeannot Szwarc's 1984 film "Supergirl" is plenty notorious to this day. It came after the somewhat notable success of Richard Lester's 1983 comedy "Superman III" — a film that made over $80 million on a rather sizable $39 million budget — and hoped to ride the popularity of Christopher Reeve's version of the character to its own financial success. The film, however, was so weird and campy, and so badly written, that audiences stayed away.

    Peter Jackson's 1992 film "Braindead," called "Dead Alive" in North America, is easily one of the goriest films of all time. It features buckets and buckets of gooey, blood and guts, and boasts scenes of people's heads being knocked off, bodies being impaled, and human lips being eaten right off their faces. A human head is fed into a food processor, and a baby is punted (don't worry, it's only a zombie baby).
