Why am I even aware of this film? Have you ever tried to sit next to preppy girls talking about Zach Efron?[/quote]
My 6 year old niece is fascinated by that shit. I watched about 30 seconds and I could actually feel myself getting retarded. That crap is like a sophisticated form of child abuse.

I had to watch 20 minutes of it for school.

Now a terrible Peter Jackson flick imo is King Kong. What a steaming pile of crap that was!
I agree, but why did so many people act like it was the best movie ever made when it first came out?
Did they see the director’s cut in private? Did I miss some scenes that would have turned that from, “damn, what fucking time is it. I could be watching my grass grow right now” to, “holy shit that was amazing!!”?[/quote]
King Kong had some good moments. If you edited out about half the movie it would be pretty good.

I had to teach myself to walk again after seeing King Kong in the theater. A movie can be long as long as it has a good story and is entertaining, but then there are long movies, like King Kong, that I think are long just for the sake of being long.

No way! I’m actually looking forward to that movie. It’s on my Top 4 list for the Summer, along with Hancock, Defiance, and The Dark Knight.
We shall see though, one of us may eat our words. Or, we’ll just completely disagree and nothing will have been accomplished. The anticipation is killing me…
Ultraviolet. Proof that the addition of a hot girl to a film doesn’t make it watchable.
That new one “The Strangers” was just God-awful as well. It looks as if the horror genre is dying.
No mention of crappy films can be made without including one Jean Claude Van Damme. His worst are Double Impact and Legionaire
I almost walked out of Master and Commander and I never do that. I kept watching because I thought it would get better. I don’t go to the theatre a lot and if it’s boring at home I just turn it off.

War of the Worlds was another one. That movie was a genuine attempt at smashing all previous standards for glaring plot holes. The effects were cool, but the plot and even individual scenes were utterly intolerable.
Yeah, like WTF, the son “disapears” for a good section of the movie, then, they drive to Boston (?) and it appears the alien’s didn’t strike there for some ungodly reason. The grandparents were ok and then…the freaking son came to the door!! How the hell did he get there?
If they really wanted to be clever, they could have made the alien invasion all in Tom Cruise’s head. You get it? He imagined the whole thing while having to deal with the 2 bratty psychotic, schitzophrentic kids for the weekend!
Would have been a better ending no doubt.
What a bunch of crap that movie was, give me the 50’s version any day![/quote]
I could go on all day about that one. No power, not even Cruise’s watch works until a few minutes later when the camcorder is recording away. How bout this. if the damn aliens wanted Earth so bad and were here a zillion years ago to bury their robots, (which we never found even one of ?!?!?!) why didn’t they just stay then when they had no resistance at all and the planet was uncorrupted by us?
The news truck shows up (that still uses VHS?) at the scene of a passenger liner crash that wiped out everything in it’s path except Cruise and Kiddies with not only all of it’s electronic equipment intact since the beginning, but also everybody else’s feed equipment all over the world where they must have gotten all that footage from. Then the Cruise clan casually drive their untouched van away through a nice neat path in the wreckage.
These aliens have spent forever studying this planet with all their astronomically advanced technology, but didn’t figure out a germ would kill them. Which BTW is transmitted by birds landing on their hulls that a few minutes before were repelling cruise missiles with their nifty force fields.
How the hell did they make it to Boston overnight… on foot… in the midst of all this chaos… after a layover with Tim Robbins for half the night?
Yeah the kid, who talked his father into letting him get involved in a war with aliens by saying “if you love me” and who is subsequently incinerated somehow made it to Boston on foot even faster than the old man and is standing in the doorway with his family who looks their ready for a night of bingo.
Nevermind.
The Longest Mile. It was about an old man who road cross country to see his dying brother on a lawn mower since he didn’t own a car. The most dramatic part of the movie was when he was going down a 10 degree decline of a hill and somehow loses control of his lawnmower and goes off the road.
How could I forget this one:
Napoleon Dynamite

I almost walked out of Van Helsing. I don’t know how you can fuck up a movie with vampires, werewolves, and Kate Becknsale, but they did a pretty good job.

It didn’t hurt as much because I went to a free screening.

I agree with Bauer, I think Wall-E looks awesome and I can’t wait to see it. It’s funny how Pixar can show emotion in a little animated robot and the crew Robert Zemeckis used to animate REAL PEOPLE can’t do the same thing.
Pixar can do no wrong in my book.

And I agree with Doug and Bauer. Wall-E is one of the more highly anticipated movies of this summer. All the previews I’ve seen for this look like it’s going to be great and Pixar has yet to disappoint me.
