genrejunkie Member	posted 02-01-2001 10:11 PM Armagedon huh. I hocked it to my teacher for dirt cheap. Then I said, "Gee what's this?" He said, "Why thats an A son." He said his family really enjoyed it. [This message has been edited by genrejunkie (edited 02-01-2001).] IP: Logged
genrejunkie Member	posted 02-03-2001 12:27 AM I thought Armagedon was alright though. What didn't you like about it boy? IP: Logged
Unlistedboy Member	posted 02-03-2001 12:27 PM Everything...the characters were all the same old cast of characters...the fact that everything happened at the last second...after a while it desensitized you and yah kinda knew what was gonna happen....way overly emotional. And it also just seemed odd that they would send oil driller to save the world. And since they came out at around the same time I couldn't help but compare it to Deep Impact...which wasn't a great film, but certainly much better. -boy [This message has been edited by Unlistedboy (edited 02-06-2001).] [This message has been edited by Unlistedboy (edited 02-06-2001).] IP: Logged

genrejunkie Member	posted 02-07-2001 09:47 PM I liked BattleField Earth. It was a B movie with a budget. Travolta played a cool alien. "Man animals are so stupid. Ha Ha Ha." IP: Logged

genrejunkie Member	posted 02-11-2001 12:58 AM Fumigating movies with a flame thrower is a pretty harsh thing to do. I'm very careful with which movie is chosen to be fried. I liked Big Trouble-major ass kicking by Kurt Russel. Hollow man I never seen, yet the scientific aproach of being able to see the invisible makes a classic like that become modernized and thus better. Ghost Dad on the other hand is being burnt to a dark crispity crisp. Woowee I can roast marsh mellows on Ghost Dad it's so hot. My blow torch is flaming the hell out of that movie, other wise known as a coca cola comercial. IP: Logged
genrejunkie Member	posted 02-11-2001 01:09 AM Can you smell that? It's the smell of fresh roasting Godzilla shit. The americanized Godzilla reaks of it as I burn that muther-humper to a charcoal black. Mathew broadwick is the biggest pussy in Hollywood and he's the one that saves the world? No way babe, I don't buy it, and sho as hell ain't renting it. Torching it good with my flame-thrower! Mmmmm. All the suden Godzilla's burnt fried ass has a shitty sweety smell to it. IP: Logged

EmMorris Junior Member	posted 02-22-2001 11:59 AM Joe The King with Val Kilmer Heavy with Liv Tyler Heat (great actors, boring as hell) I get pissed at movies with no ending too...Not assumed ending or meaning for no ending... I mean no real ending just ends...or stories that are only half explained... Bringing Out The Dead was almost a great movie Eyes Wide Shut could've been excellent... I own it but I think it should have been edited a little 2001 IP: Logged
EmMorris Junior Member	posted 02-22-2001 12:02 PM Me either-read the book...Bret Easton Ellis is an awesome writter. Breakfast of Champions was murdered. It's a hillarious book but the wife should of already been dead having drank drano and the ending was no where near the books ending... The ending makes the book exspecially for a writer. quote: Originally posted by Unlistedboy: I won't let you torch American Psycho! -boy IP: Logged
fostern Member	posted 02-24-2001 02:47 PM Here's a few to add to the pile, though I don't like the idea of burning a collection of anything: The first is that movie with Tom Hanks joining some Peace Corps deal. Anyone? Anyone?; The Spanish Prisoner; B.A.P.S.; Canadian Bacon; The Jack Lemmon fiasco in which the only funny line was "Hail to the Chief he's the Chief and he needs hailing."; The Limey; The Wedding Planner (I haven't seen it. I just KNOW.); Wayne's World 2; Half of all the movies adapted from stories by Stephen King. I'm sure I'll think of more but that's a start. IP: Logged
movieman82 Member	posted 02-24-2001 04:50 PM Hey, I loved the Spanish Prisoner and the Limey was also a decent movie. As for American Psycho, well it is true that when I saw it I was very tired and fell asleep half way through the movie, however I still found the movie to be very one-note and boring. I have been told about the ending and have been told two different endings and I do not which one is true, but it does not matter because from what I have been told they both would not make a difference. First of all, it could have the most brilliant ending in the world and it still would not make up for the boring first half. The first ending I was told about was that it was all in his Bale's head, none of it ever happened. This would make me hate the movie more because it is like it wasted my time and that it actually think's it is about something. The second ending I was told was that his friend's knows what he was doing the whole time. My response: so what? I donot know which ending is real and I have been told that it is an ending that you have to think about and decide for yourself. This would be ok if the movie was any good, but that does not excuse the dead, one-note and boring first half. I also thought Christian Bale was a bland bore. I did not find him one bit frightening.

alfresco5 Junior Member	posted 02-26-2001 08:09 PM I agree that almost all of the movies named are absolutely repulsive, but we learn from mistakes. That's what it's all about. These movies should be around so that we can see them and say, "Dear God!! What were they thinking!!" and create only better material. And hey, lay off American Beauty IP: Logged
Lintfilms Member	posted 02-27-2001 08:50 AM Anyone who doesn't realize how good American Beauty is didn't stay the last thirty seconds necessary for the film to make its recovery. The first time I watched it, I was ready to walk out. I told the woman I was with, if this piece of #### doesn't get good in five minutes I'm outa here. Then almost like a miracle, Lester met Ricky at the Real Estate dinner and the question was asked, "Do you get high?" The movie took off from there, but that was just thirty seconds before I was ready to walk out! That being said, every time I've watched it since then, I've noticed great techiniques employed in the movie and been further impressed, even though Sam Mendes' commentary tells me, he doesn't know that he is paying homage to a film that was paying homage to another film, occassionally, because the films he was paying homage to, were pretty damned good themselves. As for movies to flame, Numero Uno, on my list would have to be, "Gone With The Wind," it seems to me that it was always and will always be total crap.

fostern Member	posted 02-27-2001 09:13 AM Movieman, maybe it's me but there's only so much boredom I can stand in one sitting. YAWN!!! As far as American Beauty, I loved it. Original story? Well..... Acted well? Absolutely. I also liked the little details like the front of the house being red, white and blue, and the furniture following that scheme as well. I'm really starting to love people using color symbolically in films. Oh, and could you burn Boxing Helena for me and Caddyshack II, Jaws 3 & 4, all Halloween and Friday the 13th sequals, and The Birds? Thanks. IP: Logged

Elly Junior Member	posted 02-28-2001 10:29 AM How about "Bring it on" about cheerleaders? i mean, what the f**k was that? i wasted 1 an a half hours watching that crap on the plane. i could have been sleepin all that time.. with the same result.. Oh, yeah - and Coyot Ugly - no acting whatsoever. And Blair Witch Project (both) at some point.. u get a headache after watching it - the camera is always jumpin 'round, u can't even see shit.. ..

rcm79 Junior Member	posted 03-01-2001 04:19 PM It would take me at least an entire weekend to list all the films I find equally worthless. So here is a small percentage from the top of my skull - The Devil's Advocate: Extremely over rated. Perhaps it's just Mr. Reeves, I dunno. Oh man, I despise this movie. The Magic Sword: Yeah, I know it's an oldie. But even for it's time this film is one of the most unoriginal scripts ever concieved. U-571: This is one I had moderate hopes for. The lack of depth within the directing and writing quickly drowned my intrest within the first twenty minutes or so. The entire modern Horror genre: ...yawn...(the creators of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Scream" recieve a quick swift broken foot in the ass, via RCM79. IP: Logged
