He’s a twerp and a shrimp...and to think this passes off as an action hero nowadays. Thanks for the review though.
So which is worse...The Happening or Wanted?
Can I read Hobbes' Leviathan instead or will I have to give a book report on it like I did in college?
The Happening is probably worse.
Oh, well look at that. He was very cute as Tumnus the faun. I guess he’s just one of those guys who looks better with pointed ears.
I haven't seen Glitter, Gigli or From Justin to Kelly, but The Happening is worse.
Plus that Britney movie, whatever it was called. I didn't see it, but The Happening is worse.
I have seen Showgirls and Battlefield Earth, and The Happening is worse.
In short, I have/haven't seen ___________, but The Happening is worse.
**I haven’t seen Glitter, Gigli or From Justin to Kelly, but The Happening is worse.**
I actually saw Glitter (as punishment for cheating on then my ex-GF who wanted to watch it, BIG Mariah fan)...
..and I wanted to hang myself because I was so depressed afterwards, and lost my sexual libido for 3 days. Now you know why she’s my ex.
I won’t watch the Happening as you guys have advised.
Two of his films are playing on HBO - Last King of Scotland (intense film) and Rory O'Shea Was Here (pretty amazing indie film where he plays a young Irish paraplegic. I was impressed.)
We saw WALL-E last night....the first overtly political (save the earth) PIXAR movie. and the most disappointing.
That kid?? Seriously? I mean, I'm not dissing his acting, I'm sure it's fine, but....
Okay, well, I'm just too old, I guess.
LOL! Did you see Ishtar?
I saw Ishtar many years ago, but I’ve repressed...er...forgotten most of it. Mostly I remember Bruce Willis as a singing safe-cracker - oh wait, that’s Hudson Hawk. *Shudder*
Oh! I know what movie I hated above all others! “Wings of Desire!” Some French/German navel-gazing dreary artsy black and white flick that just went on forever and ever and ever and ever and ever.... I’d doze off and wake back up and it was STILL going on. I thought I’d gone to Hell.
The most indulgent navel-gazing dreary artsy film I've seen in recent years is The Brown Bunny which, except for brief un-sexy sexual content, mostly consists of a guy driving around for 2 hours. Painful.
Indigo Montoya says "I do not thinka that word meansa what ju think it means".
Ersatz.
No one here has any inkling of the all time worst movie ever. Should you ever be presented with the opportunity to see “Even Cowgirls Get the Blues,” run for the nearest exit.
When I bought my very first DVD player, I believe it was a Philips, and they actaully gave away (in the box) a movie DVD - Not a coupon, but a REAL DVD movie, so you could hook it up and watch it right away.
The movie I received was "Lost in Space" starring Matt Lablanc, Mimi Rodgers, Gary Oldman, and William Hurt. I was rather excited because of the cast (well, I don't really care about Matt Lablanc, but then Heather Grahm was in it too, so that makes up for him). Saying that movie was a disappointment and a complete waste of my time is FAR too generous.
Forget that the movie was free. Somebody owes me for watching that horrible movie. They don't just owe me for the time I wasted, the time and energy spent sitting in disbelief and breathing while a part of my life was wasted! No, the fact that I actually remember some of that movie means that there is brain capacity that's being used by that movie that could be put to far better use. Somebody owes me for either the space those memories are taking up, or they need to give me a method for removing those memories!

I don’t know - I got dragged to see “Reality Bites” by my gf at the time, and I was ready to puy a knitting needle through my brain about 20 minutes in. What a waste of celluloid!
