You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit

It is impossible for a person to create something good out of something that is, by its very nature, bad.

(coming out of a movie theater)
Guy 1: That was the worst movie ever, man.
Guy 2: I know! But! Leonardo DiCaprio was the best out of them, though. His acting blew everyone else's right out of the water! Too bad everything else sucked.
Guy 1: Oh, well. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit.
