Only movie I have not been able to watch all the way through was the most recent Phantom of the Opera. It quite literally put me to sleep.
Watched Halloween 3 again last Halloween for the first time in about 15 years. That movie went all the way past bad back to good. It played out the like trailers in Grindhouse. I was actually highly entertained.

“Ravenous” has to be right up there. I remember I saw it on a Sunday afternoon with a friend of mine. The theater was about three quarters full when it started but people slowly started to filter out over the course of the movie. It ended up being less than half full.

Haha, I totally forgot about this movie, and the worst part of it is, I own it. Well… to be exact an old friend of mine lent it to me and I never returned it… he also never asked for it back, I wonder why? The only good part was when the fat tall guy got an axe in the back.

I forgot all about that movie, and I completely agree.
I think the last movie I walked out on was “The Aviator”. I wanted to see more airplanes and less of Howard Hughes pissing in milk bottles. Yeah, I know it’s supposed to be about everything that happened in his life, but come on!
I can’t stand “Smoking Aces” either, but that’s more because the story didn’t unfold the way I thought it would. I thought it would be something like “Midnight Run”, with Ben Affleck’s character and Jeremy Piven (whose talents were completely wasted) getting chased by all the other characters. But then Ben died pretty early in the movie, which I’m sure made a lot of people happy.

Freddy Got Fingered
I always finish movies that I’ve paid for, but that one really tempted me to walk out.[/quote]
I forget the actor in that movie but I do remember that the reason he became famous was because he fucked a dead moose. I remember all the white trash at my school talking about it like it was cool.
I have no idea why I wanted to see the new “Producers” film. It’s probably because “Young Frankenstein” is one of my favorites, but I should have just rented the original film (is it any good?)
I kind of liked “Ravenous”. Maybe it’s because I watched it on HBO at home on a snowy Minnesota afternoon with a couple of beers. I did have a vague craving to have people for dinner that night.

Oh yeah, I was stuck on a plane coming back from Vegas recently and they were playing Evan Almighty. I tried to ignore it, but on a six-hour flight you run out of things to do, I didn’t have enough reading material with me and, though I was earthshakingly tired, I could not sleep in that coach seat. So, though I tried hard to ignore the screen, to just not pay attention, I essentially watched much of it, albeit with the sound off (didn’t use the headphones).
What a torturous, torturous piece of shit. I want my left nut back.[/quote]
Couldn’t agree more!
Thought it was a must see after watching the trailer but come to find out; the trailer was all the somewhat good parts of the movie put together. Very disappointing after ‘Bruce Almighty’!!!
Don’t know what’s going on in Hollywood but I suppose the fact that a couple of movies MUST come out on Fridays takes the quality out of movie making. It seems as if they’re making movies just for the hell of it.
It’s become hard to come across a good movie lately. Or maybe it’s become hard to suprise anyone who’s into movies. After watching thousands, you get a few ideas of what the ending is gonna be like after the first 15 minutes.
I pride myself on being able to make it through every movie I have ever seen. The only movie to break my will…
Beloved[/quote]
Ha! Ok, for my current reading list, I’m working my way through Time Magazine’s 100 greatest novels, and so far most of the books really are good. Then came Beloved. It’s only about 260 pages, but it took me almost a month to finish. I’d either get bored out of my mind reading it or I would fall asleep. I have no idea how or why this won a Pulitzer Prize. I never saw the movie, and after reading the book, never will.

Hollywood isn’t about making movies. Hollywood is about marketing movies. It’s a business, and they only care about getting people to pay to see the movie, not the movie itself. Ever see the budgets on the big blockbuster movies? Half of that is the marketing budget.
If they could find a way to get people to pay to watch a still shot of a dog turd for 90 minutes, they would do it.
Dan why so glum panda bear? I think where you fail is that you can’t laugh at stupid. Fast and Furious is hilarious in so many ways, you can make fun of the movie itself and you can laugh again when you see someone that bought in to it also. Give me some movies that you think kick ass so I can hopefully find some common ground with you and hopefully my day/life wont be so shattered.
Worst movies ever
Bridgette Jones, I think Hugh Grant is a fop and Renee’s mouth is just not right, it looks like she has peanut butter stuck somewhere in her mouth and she is trying to contort her face to loose it.
The sweetest thing. another wife movie that when I hear/see I want to slide my pee pee into a sliding glass door and just repeatedly slam until I black out.
Harsh Times: What a difference a script makes…American Psycho is on my favorites list, this one is total doo doo.
movies that kick ass
strange brew
the big lebowski
the salton sea
when trumpets fade
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
running with scissors
oh brother were art thou
