Horrible movies, and the people who get duped into waching them....

Fine, Ill say it.

300

Always seems to be one that people have strong feelings about. I found it quite entertaining, myself. Pulpy, sure, but a bit of a fun romp.

The Matrix -- I had heard so much about the movie, expected something profound and .... As I left the theatre with my friend, I quoted Tallulah Bankhead (when she walked into the Algonquin one afternoon), "There's less to this than meets the eye."

There are others, many films I didn't like, but had no expectations. It's the films I expect to be good, and then they aren't, that upset me.

I enjoyed the original; my disappointment was with the wholly unnecessary sequels.

I use to have a boyfriend whose favorite movie was Troll 2. So of course I had to watch it. Its one of the worst movies I've seen. I'm amazed that there is a large group of fans out there.

It's the bad movies that make you appreciate the good ones.

Tales From The Quadead Zone



I figured that filmmaker Chester W. Turner would have improved after his first awful flick, Black Devil Doll From Hell. I was dead wrong.

That movie gives me a Blaxploitation vibe. Not all the blaxploitation films were crap, but this one looks like it probably would be garbage.

I was also terribly disappointed by the original Ocean's Eleven. I love the Rat Pack, and it looks like they had fun making the film, but I was bored to tears watching it.

you too?? i couldn't even finish it...

11-12-13

C'mon guys the original is Shakespeare compared to the manky pool of slimy pus that constitutes the remakes.
I have a lot of respect for Clooney, but dear o dear, the rat-pack must be turning in their graves

 

[SamMarlowPI]

forget 12 and 13...except for the 'Lost In Translation' scene in 12, they were both garbage...11 was a pretty good remake...

 

[Retrobeme]

For me (and several of my friends), the movie would have to be "Sling Blade." I remember when it came out in the theatres so many people were talking how great it was. I had missed it during its run so several friends and I decided to rented it after the film was brought up at a party. Fortuantely for me and my friend Tonya, we had to go to a rehearsal but our other friend Carl watched it to the end, in the hopes of finding some positive resolve for us wasting an afternoon. Carl, what a trooper.

anything... i repeat ANYTHING by Woody Allen. But then again i didn't go in with high expectations, i was forced to watch them for classes. But by God that was torture... If someone wanted to make me squeal about some kind of secret it would probably only take forcing me to watch one or two of his movies and i'd be singing like a canary.

I really didn't like 300 and Max payne was awful.

but i have to draw a line- there are bad movies that rule like Death Race, not because of the quality but because they are hilarious and entertaining. Then there is Max Payne, the new Friday the 13th movie, etc. These simply leave me feeling empty, with nothing to comment on whatsoever.

Ha, when I first watched it I thought it was a comedy. It thought it was bad on purpose.

A film i refuse to watch,after seeing a few clips,is The Wicker Man remake with Nicholas Cafe.
A film i am looking forward to seeing,is the remake of The Wolfman.It looks really good so far,from what pictures and drawing i have seen,very true to the look and physical ability of the original Lon Chaney JR Wolfman Movie.
A film i am curious about,and have a negative feeling about,is this apparent remake of the dambusters.The original movie used pretty cheap sets and props,and viewers could see them rattling away,pretty much like a real Lancaster Bomber when it was flying.I have a sneaky suspicion,that any remake will gloss over all the rattling cronky metal that shook and vibrated in a real Lancaster Bomber,and portray everything as being solid,firm,dependable and reliable.The only sounds coming from inside the Lancaster,will probably be of the supremely perfected engines,sounding consistently powerful.

From Beyond

Freddie Got Fingered

Blackula

I own the latter two on DVD. Freddy got fingered is a prime example of bad movies that are so bad they rule, i have virtually the entire movie committed to memory. Blackula was pretty good too. Is from beyond the Lucio Fulci film?

lol hahahahah O man, thats classic. I also think Woody Allen and his movies are overrated. Woody has always reminded me of the Jerky Boys's Sol Rosenberg and vise versa.

A movie that got a ton of hype but which really bl*w, imho, was Tron. It's a great substitute for Sominex.
