Flexmoney Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Numero uno is The Breakfest Club. As a matter of fact, I don't like hardly any of the "coming of age" movies. Silence of the Lambs Seven didn't do much for me either (I mention it only because it was brought up in a different thread and it was my inspiration to start this thread.

jhgtyre Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 All of my buddies were certain that I would love "Roadhouse" with Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliot. I don't think I could have hated it more. Everything that made them love it seemed to revolt me. -jhgtyre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3quartertime Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Ditto on 'Top Gun'. I was working as a 'line rat' on the flight deck of the USS America when it came out. None of us needed to be reminded how GREAT the pilots had it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Titanic - one of the most gawdawful things I've ever sat through. Well...no I didn't. I ripped out the tape after the first 45 miserable minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbadaboom Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 Eric is right on with Titanic. I would rather watch a cat hack up hair balls onto my shoes than watch 2 mins. of any movie with that DeCrapio guy in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tightloop Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 You viewed CTHD with the eyes of an American. this type of movie and these type of effects are very common in the Orient. I went to see this movie and the people I went with were the only Occidental people in the theater, and the Oriental people's reaction to the movie was almost better than what was on screen. I learned a lot from how they interacted with the film. trying seeing it again with the help of an Asian friend and see if that doesn't help you appreciate it a bit more.

Bigbadaboom Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 "Dune" is the all time worst movie I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 There's a lot happening in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon that's obvious to Oriental audiences, that is not obvious to Americans unless you know something of Chinese culture. For instance, it's believed that as a person's soul becomes purer it also becomes lighter, and this can evince itself in the person's body, as well. Thus when we see Li Mu Bai simply standing in mid-air with no support whatsoever, we know this man's soul is so pure he's practically a god in human form. When he dies, there's no doubt he's going straight to heaven. Toward the end of the movie, as he's dying and Yu Shu Lien tells him not to speak to her, to prepare himself for his entry into heaven, and he says, "I would rather wander the world forever, a homeless ghost, than go to heaven without you," that's not just pretty words. That's the choice he's making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon also came in two totally different movies essentially. The subtitled version, I did not think was bad at all. The english dubbed version should have all known copies rounded up and burned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 The problem with the Titanic films is that everybody knows the ending. It's 1 - nil to the iceberg. Have not seen CTHD and it does not appeal to me one iota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Loved "meet the parents." Can't wait for the sequel, rumored to be "Meet the Fochers" My only requirement for movies is that they don't make me wish I was doing somethin else. Meg Ryan makes me wish I was doing something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 "Dune" SHOULD have been a good movie, but matching the convoluted and subtle density of the book may've proved a bit challenging... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 I havent been to a movie since they banned cigarette smoking in the theater. I have quit cig smoking for 15 or 16 years. I just HATE to think my money is going to support a hyprocritical , anti American ,Hollywood, Nazi, like Sylvester Stallone, Alex Baldwin, etc, etc , etc, etc etc,etc, etc .

shadetree Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 I thought jurrasic park was one of the most over rated movies ever. If you sit back and look at it it's just another scream and run movie like godzilla or friday the thirteenth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 LCD = Big Buxx (Lowest Common Denominator) Scream-'n-Run movies seem to sell. Bottom line, it's sometimes the bottom line. We live in a world of special effects. "Matrix" promos and trailers were tantalizing; the movie, however, left me waiting and wanting... or something.

EricW Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 I haven't gone to a theater in ages because I haven't got the urge in ages. Everything has gone LCD. I hate it. Instead of paying powder monkies $50,000,000 to blow up every junk car they can they find, Hollywood ought find a top writer and spend ten percent of that on a script. Then, they might actually get the eight bucks out of me. Until, then I'll keep renting the moldy oldies... E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Quote: from EricW on 5:44 pm on Sep. 22, 2002 Instead of paying powder monkies $50,000,000 to blow up every junk car they can they find, Hollywood ought find a top writer and spend ten percent of that on a script. E Hollywood formula: Pay 10 million dollars for movie rights to best seller book. Pay 50,000 dollars to screenwriter to rewrite best seller book. Pay 10-20 million dollars for leading man for a few close-ups and voice overs. Pay 50,000 dollars for stunt double to perform all action scenes. Pay 50,000 dollars for second screenwriter to rewrite screenplay to include all the action scenes and change dialog to monosyllables so leading man can pronounce the words. Pay 5-10 million dollars for leading lady. Pay 50,000 dollars for body double for all nude/near nude scenes. Pay 50,000 dollars to third screenwriter to rewrite the script to include all the gratuitous nude scenes and add 'love' interest to plot. Pay 50 million dollars for special effects that have no relation to reality. Pay 50,000 dollars to fourth screenwriter to rewrite the script to include all the special effects. Pay 50 million dollars for advertising blitz. Pay 10 million dollars to edit, re-edit, and re-re-edit movie in an attempt to make said movie semi-coherent. Pay another 20 million dollars for second ad blitz for Oscar nominations. And you wonder why it costs 8-9 bucks to see a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
